Read ahead to know more.

1. Boho-Chic Glow

Boho chic makeup is a natural, glowy look with soft earth-tone colors and a carefree vibe. It often includes bronzed skin, subtle eyes, and nude or peachy lips.

Start with a dewy base using tinted moisturizer. Smudge some kohl on the waterline for that dreamy look, and swipe on earthy-toned eyeshadow. A pop of peach blush brings life to your cheeks, while a touch of golden highlighter gives you that irresistible sun-kissed glow.

Finish your look with a nude lip colour, and you’re ready to own the spotlight.

2. Glam Look

Want to turn heads the moment you walk in? A bold, glam bridal look is the way to go.

Start with a flawless, full-coverage base to smooth out any imperfections and create that airbrushed finish. Add some drama with shimmer-packed eyeshadow, a sharp winged liner, and fluttery, voluminous lashes that scream main character energy.

Add a pop of color to your waterline for that unexpected twist, and keep things balanced with a soft, rosy blush and nude lips for that fresh, polished finish.

Top it all off with statement ethnic jewellery.

3.Minimalist Look

If you're a bride who loves the easy-breezy vibe, the minimalist look is your perfect match. This style is all about embracing your natural beauty and feeling confident, without relying on layers of makeup when done by a bridal makeup artist💄.

The key? Keep it simple, fresh, and skin-first. A soft eyeliner to subtly define the eyes, paired with individual lashes for a delicate lift. Cream-based tints on the cheeks and lips add a flush of color that looks like it’s glowing from within.

This look doesn’t try too hard and that’s exactly why it stands out.

4. Dreamy Pastel Look

Summer weddings are all about airy outfits and effortless vibes and a pastel makeup look fits right in. Soft shades like baby pink, lavender, peach, or powder blue add just the right pop without overpowering your natural glow.

Take it up a notch with pastel or neon shimmer eyeshadow for that playful twist. Pair it with a soft pink blush and a bold highlighter on the cheekbones to catch the light just right.

This dreamy pastel glam is perfect for daytime weddings subtle, stunning, and straight-up ethereal.

5. Sun Kissed Look

If floral dresses and soft glam are your thing, the sun-kissed look is made for you. This style is all about that warm, radiant vibe enhancing your natural features with just the right amount of glow.

Perfect for outdoor or daytime weddings, this look keeps it light and low-drama. Start with a lightweight foundation for a breathable base. Sweep on golden eyeshadow, skip the heavy lashes, and go for soft, fluttery ones instead.

Add coral blush and finish with a champagne highlighter to bring out that dewy, lit-from-within warmth. It’s fresh, flawless, and effortlessly bridal.

6 . Monochrome Makeup

Monochrome makeup is a total game-changer and is universally flattering. The idea is simple: your eyes, lips, and cheeks all follow the same color family for a seamless, pulled-together look.

Start with a flawless base. Pick a color that matches your mood rosy pink, mauve, peach, or even plum then use that shade (or slight variations of it) across your lids, lips, and cheeks.

Define your eyes with a swipe of kajal on the waterline, add mascara for that lush lash lift, and boom you're rocking one of the freshest summer bridal trends

At What Time Of The Day Do You Need To Schedule A Summer Wedding?

If you're planning a summer wedding, timing is everything. The best time? Evening or night. That’s when the sun has mellowed down, the heat has eased, and you can celebrate without breaking a sweat.

If you’re leaning toward a daytime ceremony, go for late afternoon or early evening when the harsh midday sun has passed, and the light is still golden and flattering.

And if you’re going for an outdoor setup, nighttime is your safest (and coolest) bet. But if you’re set on a daytime event, make sure to keep it indoors and air-conditioned so you and your guests stay comfortable and glowing, not melting.

How Hot Is Too Hot?

Indian summer season isn’t a joke. Once temperatures cross 35°C (95°F), it starts getting uncomfortable. Add heavy bridal outfits, layers of makeup, and packed venues, and it can turn from dreamy to disaster real quick.

Here’s a quick heat breakdown to keep in mind for summer weddings in India:

• 30°C to 34°C: Manageable with proper shade, hydration, and ventilation. Good for early evening or shaded outdoor events.
   
• 35°C to 38°C: Getting intense. Limit outdoor ceremonies, schedule events later in the day, and opt for light fabrics and waterproof makeup.
   
• Above 38°C: Nope. It’s officially too hot for outdoor weddings unless you're doing it by the beach with a strong breeze or in the hills. Indoors with A/C is non-negotiable at this point.
   

Pro Tip: For destination weddings in India, consider cooler summer-friendly spots like Mussoorie, Shimla, Coorg, or Kerala’s hill retreats.
