Customised Names or Quotes on Outfit
Expect to see a lot of customised bridal fashion this wedding season. Brides and bridesmaids will be wearing more bespoke and custom lehengas, embroidered with personalised names, hashtags or quotes. Writing names or romantic quotes on lehengas is a sweet gesture of love while a funny quote can be a quirky way to tell your love story. Remember Anant’s Brigade from the Ambani Wedding?
Lehengas with Trail or Veil
Gone are the days of minimalism. Welcome back maximal bridal fashion! Brides are going for the drama with their bridal look by choosing lehengas with a long trail. If you are not a fan of a heavy lehenga, a light and long veil is the answer to add glamour. Royal, romantic and attention-grabbing–need I say more?

Comeback of the Classic Red
When it comes to bridal fashion, nothing beats the classic colour of an Indian bride–red. Curbing the pastel dominance, red has taken over bridal fashion this year with celebrities like Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari and PV Sindhu wearing red sarees and lehengas for their wedding ceremonies. This year, expect rich fabrics like silk and velvet in red with bold embroidery in the racks of bridal couture.
Lehengas with Double Dupattas
Probably the most popular bridal fashion trend for 2025, lehengas with double dupattas are culturally significant and equally fashionable. The combination of colours and textures makes a detailed elegant bridal look, conveying Indian tradition and regal glamour. Brides can also compare and try various kinds of drapings and styles with this look, using their creativity to make a unique look for their weddings.
Heavy Embroidery on Border
As the year is closing, a sudden surge in heavily embroidered border lehengas can be seen in bridal fashion. Especially against a lighter body with minimal work to no work (take notes from Aditi Rao Hydari’s red lehenga), a heavily embroidered border in contrasting colours adds a regal appeal with a touch of elegance. Feel like a queen by adopting this trend and embracing bridal sophistication with this trend.
Flora and Fauna
Floral motifs and patterns are a classic. But expect to see a lot of it in 2025. From haldi outfits to wedding lehengas, floral patterns will dominate everywhere. The trend will incorporate different techniques such as 3D applique, intricate hand embroidery, hand-painted designs etc. to create blooming details on bridalwear. For soft, dreamy brides, this trend is perfect to follow.
Pearl for the Grace
Pearls stand for timeless elegance, and they’re back strong in 2025. In recent years, pearls have found their way into apparel as designers are using these gorgeous strands to enhance the appearance of their creations. Expect to see more pearls in bridal fashion in 2025–sarees adorned with pearl capes or lehengas decorated with pearl beads. Adding pearls to bridalwear creates a contemporary fusion for the modern bride.
