Bridal couture in India has always been a breathtaking blend of tradition and innovation. Every season, designers push the boundaries, reinterpreting heritage while embracing modernity.

Here are 7 of the latest designer bridal collections you absolutely need to see, in no particular order.
The New World by Sabyasachi
When Sabyasachi unveils a bridal collection, the fashion world pauses to take note. The New World is his bold vision of the modern bride, one who carries her heritage with pride while stepping into a cosmopolitan tomorrow. Rich velvets, hand-embroidered zardozi lehengas and global silhouettes define this collection.
True to his aesthetic, the palette remains regal — deep maroons, emeralds and antique golds. Yet, there’s also an infusion of metallics and softer pastels for the global bride. For the woman who wants her wedding ensemble to be an heirloom yet versatile enough to be styled in different ways, Sabyasachi’s The New World is an absolute masterpiece.

Inaya by Manish Malhotra
Few names evoke Bollywood glamour like Manish Malhotra, and his bridal collection Inaya doesn’t disappoint. This line is an ode to femininity and sensuality, weaving together delicate craftsmanship with couture drama. Think flowing drapes, crystal-encrusted veils and sequined lehengas that glimmer under every light.
Malhotra’s signature shimmer meets soft pastels in Inaya, offering brides everything from ivory and blush palettes to jewel-toned grandeur. The collection highlights his flair for fusion: pre-draped saris with trail details, mermaid-cut lehengas and intricately embellished veils that redefine bridal couture. Inaya is perfect for brides who love extravagance, cinematic flair, and a touch of stardust.
Quantum Entanglement by Gaurav Gupta
Gaurav Gupta’s Quantum Entanglement is a futuristic take on bridal fashion. Known for his sculptural silhouettes and avant-garde aesthetic, Gupta marries science and art in this extraordinary line. The collection borrows its name from physics, and true to concept, it explores the interconnectedness of forms and emotions through fashion.
Sculpted gowns that mimic cosmic waves, metallic drapes that glisten like stardust and lehengas that feel almost architectural—the bridal collection uses shades of midnight, platinum and champagne, with a few bold injections of fiery red. For the outstanding show, Param Sundari stars Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor walked the runway as GG bride and groom.
Quintessence by Tarun Tahiliani
If Gaurav Gupta is the futurist, Tarun Tahiliani is the eternal storyteller. His bridal collection Quintessence, unveiled at FDCI Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, revisits everything that defines Indian bridal couture — drapes, handwoven textiles and intricate embroidery — but with his signature fluidity and lightness.
Unlike the heavy, ornate outfits often associated with bridalwear, Quintessence focuses on effortless grace. The lehengas, anarkalis, and shararas are embroidered with chikankari, zardozi, and resham, but they’re surprisingly weightless. The colour palette leans towards ivories, peaches, soft corals, and blushes, making it versatile across wedding ceremonies. Brides who want understated elegance with timeless appeal will fall in love with this collection.

Raj Mahal Bijoux by Falguni Shane Peacock
Falguni Shane Peacock have long been the champions of edgy glamour, and their bridal line Raj Mahal Bijoux is no exception. Presented at FDCI initiated Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, this bridal collection is inspired by the grandeur of Indian palaces, transforming the bride into a queen dripping in jewels — quite literally. Embellishments here aren’t just accents; they are the centerpiece of every ensemble.
Lehengas encrusted with crystals, sequins, and metallic embroidery that shimmer like chandeliers in a royal durbar make the collection. The signature feather details also make appearances, lending drama to dupattas and blouses. This collection is a must-see for brides who adore maximalism and want to shine unapologetically.
Sabr • Shukr • Sukoon by Masaba
Masaba Gupta has carved her niche as the queen of quirky, modern prints, and with her latest bridal collection Sabr • Shukr • Sukoon, she dives into deeper waters. This collection is rooted in philosophy, inspired by patience (Sabr), gratitude (Shukr), and peace (Sukoon). The result is an emotionally resonant yet visually powerful bridal couture line.
Featuring Janhvi Kapoor as her muse, Masaba blends her signature bold motifs with traditional craftsmanship. Lehengas feature calligraphy-inspired embroideries, saris come with unconventional borders, and dupattas carry verses that speak of calm and strength. The palette is earthy yet striking, brought alive with metallic detailing.
East by JJ Valaya
JJ Valaya’s East is a breathtaking celebration of cross-cultural influences. The designer, known for his love of opulence and history, draws inspiration from the Silk Route, where cultures, ideas and designs merged seamlessly. This collection, unveiled at ICW 25, reimagines Indian bridalwear with a touch of Central Asian and Oriental aesthetics.
Heavy brocades, luxurious velvets, and intricate resham embroidery dominate East. Valaya experiments with layering and regal structures, creating silhouettes reminiscent of royal courts. The palette is rich with jewel tones paired with antique metallics. East is perfect for brides who love grandeur steeped in cultural heritage.
