A celeb-inspired guide to rocking vibrant yellow outfits at a wedding 

A wave of pastel has overtaken weddings, with modern brides, including celebrities, choosing to wear neutral shades of blush pink, ivory, and beige on their big day. But this doesn’t mean that outfits in bright shades have been given the cold shoulder—yellow, red, and blue continue to add a splash fun and vibrancy at wedding ceremonies and traditional occasions. 

Yellow, in particular is a bold, playful choice for a day event—the fun shade will definitely help you stand apart from the sea of muted colours! So, if you’re looking for some yellow outfit inspiration for an upcoming wedding, scroll ahead. 

Priyanka Chopra

One thing we love about a saree is its versatility—you can drape it in so many ways and pair it with unconventional blouses for a whole new look. Take for instance, Chopra’s look during her cousin, Parineeti Chopra’s engagement—she wore her pre-draped Mishru lime yellow saree with ruffles with a matching corset for a fresh spin on a traditional outfit that we can’t get enough of!

Madhuri Dixit-Nene

Floral print, sequins, and bright yellow—if this trio doesn’t spell summer, we don’t know what does! For a haldi, mehendi, or even a day wedding ceremony, you want your outfit to be chic yet casual, and this look donned by Madhuri Dixit-Nene fits the bill perfectly. 

Athiya Shetty

Very few outfits exude the same elegance as a silk saree, as Athiya Shetty shows. The pastel yellow-gold handwoven tissue Kanchipuram saree with a pink blocked pallu for one of her wedding ceremonies will be a great look to cop, if you’re looking for something understated and traditional. Complete the look with either muted make-up and a few simple accessories or an elaborate choker and necklace set like Shetty. 

Alia Bhatt 

A buttery-yellow lehenga is the ideal pick for a day summer or monsoon wedding. This Manish Malhotra ensemble worn by Alia Bhatt features intricate embroidery all over and is paired with a backless blouse. Take a leaf out of Bhatt’s look and wear it with dramatic earrings to round off the outfit. 

Katrina Kaif 

Wedding outfits don’t have to be limited to just lehengas, sarees, and suits—asymmetrical outfits, like this Anamika Khanna piece worn by Katrina Kaif will help you stand out from the crowd, especially if it’s in a bold yellow shade. Pair it with minimal jewellery and light make-up to let the outfit shine! 

Malaika Arora 

Pant suits are increasingly becoming the outfit of choice for Indian brides and wedding guests who want to go the more androgynous route. A yellow pant suit, like the one worn by Malaika Arora, is perfect for a summer or monsoon wedding—it’s practical and comfortable yet oozes plenty of charisma. A power move, we say!
