Popular Wedding Themes
- Floral Fantasy: Blooming decor is having a major moment—from lush floral chandeliers to fragrant petal-strewn aisles, couples are bringing the outdoors in for a dreamy, romantic vibe. Pair your bridal lehenga with a dewy, fresh-faced makeup look to match the floral frenzy.
- Royal Rajasthani: Embrace the grandeur of Rajasthan's regal heritage with opulent details like rich banarasis, intricate meenakari work, and majestic elephant motifs. A Mohey bridal saree in a deep jewel tone, adorned with traditional gold zari, is perfect for channelling your inner Rajasthani princess.
- Sustainable Soirees: Eco-conscious millennials are opting for greener nuptials with sustainable decor, locally sourced menus, and even plantable wedding invites! Grooms can embrace 2025’s wedding fashion trends by opting for a handwoven khadi kurta pajama, accessorised with a classic Nehru jacket.
- Personalised Everything: Cookie-cutter weddings are passé. It's all about infusing your celebration with touches that reflect your love story and shared interests as a couple. Think customized wedding hashtags, signature cocktails, and even a wedding website that chronicles your romance.
Latest Wedding Fashion Trends
- Multicolour Medleys: Move over, monotones! 2025 is all about a vibrant burst of colour. Think fuschia pinks paired with emerald greens, sunshine yellows with royal purples - the bolder, the better. A Manyavar kurta in a striking multicoloured ikat print is sure to turn heads.
- Magnificent Metallics: Shimmering silvers, glittering golds, burnished bronzes - metallic accents are adding a touch of glamour to wedding wear. A sequin-encrusted lehenga choli is perfect for the bride who wants to sparkle brighter than her engagement ring.
- Barbie-approved Pinks: With the Barbie movie slated for release, the iconic doll's signature pink hue is influencing wedding fashion trends. From blush to bubblegum to fuchsia, pretty pinks are popping up everywhere. Grooms can jump on the trend with a pastel pink silk kurta pajama set.
Regal Velvets: There's something undeniably luxurious about velvet, and it's having a major moment in Indian wedding wear. From plush velvet bandhgalas for grooms to flowing, velvet dupattas for brides, this rich fabric adds a touch of old-world glamour.The Latest Wedding Trends: What's Out Just like last night's dal makhani, some wedding trends are past their prime. Here's what to avoid if you want your celebration to feel on-point, not outdated.
Outdated Wedding Themes
- Generic "Royal" Themes: We've seen enough generic "royal" weddings to last a lifetime. In 2025, it's all about putting a unique spin on regal romance, whether it's a specific region or era that inspires you.
- OTT Bling: While metallics are in, over-the-top bling is definitely out. Skip the head-to-toe crystal encrusting and opt for more refined embellishments like delicate mukaish work or intricate thread embroidery.
- Matchy-Matchy Decor: Cookie-cutter decor schemes where everything matches perfectly are so outdated. Mix and match different elements, textures, and colours for an eclectic, personalized vibe that reflects your unique love story.
Outdated Wedding Fashion Trends
- Heavy Dupattas: Brides, give your neck a break. Those heavily embroidered dupattas that weigh a ton are falling out of favour. Instead, opt for lighter fabrics like sheer organza or delicate lace for a dreamy, ethereal look.
- Predictable Groom Wear: Grooms, it's time to step up your style game beyond the basic cream sherwani. Experiment with unexpected hues, interesting textures, and dapper cuts for a look that's all your own. A printed men's suit in a bold shade is sure to make a statement.
- Chunky Chokers: While chokers had their moment, the chunky, over-embellished versions are starting to feel a bit dated. Opt for a more delicate, layered necklace stack or an elegant pendant instead. Less is definitely more when it comes to bridal jewellery in 2025.
- Pyaar jo tumne mujhko diya hai, woh koi aur trend na kar paaya! Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and your wedding celebration should be too. By staying on top of the latest wedding trends, you can craft a day that feels fresh, fashionable, and fabulously you.
