Imagine this – you’re invited to an evening wedding this spring or summer. Weather will be warm, sunny, maybe even breezy. As you arrive at the wedding or maybe during the outdoor cocktail hour, the sun is just beginning to set. The sky is lit with the most brilliant colors streaming across the sky – from a moody shade of romantic violet to the brightest mango orange. Every color around you starts to become more golden and even your skin itself sparkles more beautifully.
So my question to you is – what are you wearing? Here are five colorful wedding looks inspired by twilight and sunset colors that can inspire your next wedding ensemble!
1. Aaliyah JM (@aaliyah.jm) – A Pink & Gold Desi State of Mind
@aaliyah.jm
The electric colors typical for the South Asian mehndi wedding event always remind of brilliant sunsets – the kind that saturate the sky with every intense yellows, orange, hot pink and luminous gold. The outfits, the decor even the jovial mood of the dancing and singing – everything pops with color and culture. Let’s take color inspiration from Aaliyah’s recent mehndi look, paired with a gold hijab.

3. Dania Badawi (@dania.badawi) – How The Waves Look at Sunset

When I saw this look on Dania this past Eid, I wanted to immediately add to cart! Colorful yet minimalist, elegant and modest – it was my whole personal wardrobe aesthetic in a single garment. How it flows over her shoulders is like a gentle wave on the beach! It’s usually at sundown that the color of the water becomes aquamarine and reflects those stunning hues of the sky. This dress is literally that moment and makes for a perfect wedding look. I would love to see this dress styled on bridesmaids, surrounding the blushing bride like the waves surrounding the beachfront.

For those who want to wear color that’s not as intense as the colors I’ve already mentioned, this is a beautiful color palette, maybe more of a cloudy sundown, just after the rain. This elegant print that works so well as a wedding look, especially in this silky fabric and contemporary silhouette. The dress looks amazing on her, and I also love that it can easily be worn for hijab-wearing women as well with a mock turtleneck underneath to cover the neck or draping and tucking one’s hijab properly for coverage.
5. Hanan Abdu (@hananscorner) – the Best Sunset Inspo

I would be remiss if I didn’t include this gorgeous sunset inspiration from Hanan. Didn’t I tell you in the beginning of this article that every color gets more golden and rich at this time of day? Even the shimmer of her ensemble shines that much more elegantly as the sun fades into the horizon. Hijab to heel, it’s a perfect style for your next wedding look – just pair an open abaya with a slip dress and match the shoes to the dress and the hijab to the abaya.
I always take inspiration from the colors around me in nature, and this is your sign to do the same! If you get your color inspiration for your next wedding look from the natural colors of the waning of the daylight, let us know!
Comment below and remember to include HH in your wedding looks this season.
