How to style your silk kurta set for a summer wedding
A silk kurta set does most of the heavy lifting on its own. For daytime functions like haldi or mehendi, let the fabric breathe — minimal jewellery, strappy flats or embroidered juttis, and a light bindi. For evening receptions and cocktail nights, layer on statement earrings, a metallic clutch, and block heels. The Haze Suit Set and Echo Kurta Set in particular are built for evening — their zari and mirror work come alive under warm light.
When it comes to hair, loose waves or a soft, low bun complement the fluid silhouettes of the Peach Lilt and Jade Parable sets perfectly. For the bolder Crimson Bloom, a sleek pulled-back look lets the embroidered yoke remain the focal point.
