Monsoon weddings can be pleasant and comforting, but at the same time, a bit difficult for fashion enthusiasts. Choosing the right kind of outfit amid rain can be challenging and then there is also the fear of makeup being washed off. Nonetheless, comfort is the key and since humidity levels might be a notch higher, it is better to opt for light-weight and easy-to-manage fabrics. However, that doesn't mean you can't be up on your fashion game! With the right accessorising, makeup and hair- you can steal the show even during monsoons.
