Tissue is definitive of sheer, suave and soothing! Pick a tissue georgette in hues of the early morning sky bedecked with gold butis for a stunning addition to your summer wedding wardrobe or own a Banarasi silk tissue in sunset hues with a floral jaal and an elaborate pallu to make a striking splash at the wedding ceremony.

4. Luxuriate in the lightness of crepe
