Patralekha was spotted in a kanjeevaram sari paired with a choker necklace and ear studs at a wedding reception recently. Sure loved seeing her in the sari.

Choker doesn’t seem like the best pick but she looks lovely
I am choking looking at that choker.
Choker looks like an eyesore but she looks nice otherwise
Here is a question that has nothing really to do with Patralekha per se, but with wedding attire expectations in general. How does one negotiate the ornate wedding saree brief with sweltering Indian summers? what fabrics and weaves have worked you all?
Such valid point raised. Personally, haven’t attended any family/close weddings in summers. Mostly people plan weddings during pleasant weather. But incase, I ever have to, I know it would going to be a big task. Chikankari sarees in light georgette with a sequin blouse with cotton lining can be a nice choice. If opting for modern silhouette,a bit loose kurta and roomy sharara, again with cotton lining can be opted. Ready to wear festive wear have synthetic lining so have to get outfits made from scratch. Personally, I can not be more ornate than this during summers. It doesn’t matter if the venue is all AC. Some regions are so humid in India that walking from parking area to main venue soils your makeup and outfit from sweat.
My picks for summer weddings: If it is an indoor one, I would wear silks like kanjeevaram or banaras with some embroidered blouse, preferably short sleeves/sleeveless, muted/summary colors. If it is outdoor/semi outdoor without all-time airconditioning, I wear Chanderi silk, organza/kora silk, kota silk that have as much shine and richness as other silks but are much lighter on body. I wear simple and easy to carry blouses too. Wearing a pure cotton in-skirt/petticoat always helps in summers instead of silk based ones.
Saree drape also very bad.. seems like one is wearing it for the first time. But surprising for a bengali lady. Usually bong girls are very savvy with tying a saree
The saree and the choker looks nice separately. Together, not so much. Not liking the sloppy drape of the saree either.
A Kanjivaram needs to be respected and draped either full pleated or left loose elegantly. Only then the beauty of the saree shines through. It is one of the best looking sarees if you care to drape it well.
Usually don’t prefer strappy blouses with silk sarees. Bame it to childhood conditioning and extreme weather conditions in North India. Have seen silk worn by women around me only during winters, lighter ones to workplace and heavy ones on festivities. But Patralekha looks graceful.
The saree… that share of red and gold looks quite gaudy and the blouse makes it even more so. Didn’t care for the choker or the red flowers either.
