This is a first in our series of fashion ideas for wedding day outfits for the upcoming summer season courtesy of fashion designer Anam Xinwa (see below for our interview with him). The first trend to consider to rock to your friend’s or relative’s big day is yellow.

Has anyone else noticed how popular yellow has become recently. It’s no mistake, this is the perfect colour for summer 2013. Wear yellow in your maxi dresses, blazers and blouses or your accessories for a touch of sunshine.

Summer is here and and yellow is the perfect colour to step out it in. It’s also perfect for a wedding outfit.

Yellow accessories for a pop of brightness.
