BRIDAL FASHION TRENDS

1)    Revival of the Red Lehenga

While pastels were the “it” colour palette of 2024, there is a resurgence of the traditional red lehenga wedding look trend in 2025. Brides are embracing the timeless red colour for that regal and enchanting Indian princess look. However, this trend comes with a twist: brides are opting for customising their wedding looks to add personalised touches like embroidered initials and small motifs that symbolise the couple’s journey together. Along with this, they are also adding elements like ombre tones and metallic embroidery to add a contemporary flair to the traditional hues. 

2)    Homegrown designer brands

Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra will always be reigning in the bridal fashion industry. However, in 2025, we see the rise of homegrown designer brands like Anita Dongre, Payal Singhal and Abhinav Mishra. These brands are all for adding personalised touches to extraordinary artisanal pieces. Luxe fabrics, dramatic flares, intricate embroideries, and bold silhouettes are all trending this year. Prajakta Koli’s collab with Anita Dongre for her wedding is going to serve as a modern wedding inspiration to all the blushing brides.

3)    Mirror dupattas

Mirror work is making a sparkling return this year, especially in bridal dupattas. These shimmering details are added to minimalistic lehengas and sharara sets to add shimmer and a playful edge. Hania Amir wore this enchanting mirror dupatta with a dreamy, plain white sharara set and a glowy, soft-glam makeup look to complete this outfit.

4)    Indo-Western styles:

2025 is the year to endorse fusion elegance. Indo-western styles are gaining popularity with modern Indian brides looking to break free from traditional norms. We can see a lot of contemporary designs like Bridgerton inspired corset tops, chic pant lehengas, capes and crop tops paired with skirts, and asymmetrical drapes.

Look at this dazzling ensemble that Alanna Panday wore for her Mehendhi ceremony! A brilliantly made pastel peach and teal green lehenga with a fish cut, flowy skirt and a floral blouse topped with a matching cape. This is from the bridal collection of Papa Don’t Preach by Shubhika, which serves as the perfect modern wedding inspiration for brides looking to break free of the norms.

5)    Avant garde fashion with traditional jewellery

Bright colours, dramatic silhouettes, asymmetrical cuts, and unconventional fabrics are on every bride’s wish list this year. Interestingly, these contemporary styles are being paired with traditional, vintage or heirloom jewellery, striking a powerful contrast between the old and the new. Kundan, Polki, Vilandi sets are still very much in the game, while there is a resurgence of classic pieces like haathphool, passa, kadas and hair chains.

6)    Floral Extravaganza

What is common in all the trendiest weddings? Flowers! They are used everywhere, from the most flamboyant backdrops to chaddars made of little jasmine flowers. Radhika Ambani’s haldi outfit with the mogra dupatta looked surreal like a dream.The trendiest, modern wedding inspiration to use flowers in weddings right now is to use them as hair accessories but with a twist: floor length gajras for a regal desi princess look.

7)    Minimalism is the way to go!

The most popular wedding trend for makeup in 2025 is having a minimal dewy makeup base with a glowy blush that gives a natural flush to the cheeks. Pair this with some soft shimmery eyeshadow, glossy nude lips and mascara for very fluttery lashes and you have the perfect 2025 bride makeup look.

Aditi Rao Hydari’s half moon, minimal mehendi design stunningly complements the thick, traditional anklets and bangles that made everybody go crazy, proving that there is beauty in simplicity. Brides of 2025 are choosing to do the same with minimal makeup and mehendi looks to subtly enhance their grand, magnificent outfits and lavish jewellery.

8)    Sustainable Sparkle

Lab grown diamonds are one of the biggest bridal jewellery trends for Indian weddings in 2025. It has a much lower environmental impact, they are ethically sourced and conflict free. Eco-conscious couples are choosing to go the sustainability route which is a lesser burden on their pockets as well as the earth. They can customise the designs, choose multipurpose pieces and opt for bigger diamonds, simultaneously blending sophistication, style and sustainability.

9)    Film Photography Transcends Time

There is a surge of popularity for the use of film photography because it invokes a sense of nostalgia and romance. It is also a little unpredictable, making it all the more exciting for the newlyweds. These hazy pictures with softened edges have a  mysterious allure that cannot be matched. They have a textured, almost painterly quality that is absent in the sterile precision of digital cameras. They have become very popular wedding inspirations as they capture memories in an image that feels raw and authentic, adding warmth and a cinematic feel to the pictures.

10) Micro-luxury weddings

This is emerging as the latest Indian wedding trend of 2025. Bigger is no longer the better. Couples are ready to splurge on their wedding, but instead of focusing on a long guestlist, they are opting to pay for top-tier services like high quality decor, renowned chefs and catering, high-end photography companies, and famous celebrities for entertainment. In this way, they get their “big, fat Indian wedding” in a more intimate setting with just their loved ones. 

In 2025, Indian weddings are more than just about glamour. They are about individuality, uniqueness, and crafting a narrative about the couple, which is both magical and meaningful. Whether you choose a red lehenga to go by the books or get something contemporary tailored to fit you perfectly, let these inspirations guide you to make your wedding enchantingly beautiful.
