2025 Wedding Trends: Expert Guide To Say 'Yes' To The Right Fashion Picks

Tulle and organza: Light, floaty, and dreamy—tulle and organza bring that fairytale flair with fullness, volume and dimension, even in coloured pastels like blush or dove, creating every bride's dream ensemble.  

Crepe and georgette: Smooth, matte, and subtly stretchy—crepe and georgette are the go‑to for minimalist contemporary gowns that hug the figure while offering comfort.

Silk taffeta and velvet: Heavy, luxurious, and sculptural, a combination of silk (shine) and velvet (matte) is back for creating bold, architectural gowns, lehengas with serious poise. 

Corset blouse will be making another round in 2025, with more elevated textures, embroideries and details. Modern bride do not shy away from flaunting their curves and embracing comfort with vogue. Another big trend I see is a paneled blouse with deeper cuts, embodied with various textiles and Indian crafts. Almost making them modern bohemian and timeless at the same time. All panels will be carefully drafted to accentuate the torse for the free-spirited bride of modern times. 

Pro tip: Here are some other blouse types you should try. 

Kaftan tops to statement bows, bridesmaids in 2025 will not leave any chance to voice out their style on any occasion. This majestic demand for newness has pushed the designers to think out of the box and be playful, especially when it comes to dressing the bridesmaids.  

Red. Absolutely red. Red is timeless when it comes to the bridal ensemble. It will never go out of trend as red has a much deeper symbolic meaning associated with women since the colour was first discovered by the human race. For a more unconventional look, multi-colour lehengas are going to be a big trend to give a maximalist statement to the bridal look.  

Each wedding function today feels like a chance to express a different facet of your personality. At our label, we’re seeing brides and wedding guests lean into vibrant colour, joyful prints, and easy yet impactful silhouettes. For haldi, it’s all about sunshine tones, breezy fabrics, and outfits that allow you to move and celebrate freely. Sangeet looks are bolder: think statement blouses, flowing skirts, and rich textures that sparkle under the lights. Roka and mehendi are becoming more intimate and experimental, where fusion pieces, cape overlays, and Indo-bohemian elements really shine. Overall, the mood is expressive, artful and deeply personal; no two looks feel the same, and that’s the beauty of it.

Brides today want to feel seen, not just dressed up. They’re leaning toward pieces that reflect who they are. We’re seeing a lot of interest in layered lehengas with sheer organza, intricate panel work, and corset-inspired blouses that flatter the form but feel easy to wear. Colour is also being reimagined, red will always have its place, but now it sits alongside burnt orange, fuchsia, blues, and even multi-coloured pieces that tell a story. Capes, fringes, and mix-and-match are also coming in, but with refinement.

There’s definitely been a shift in how people approach bridal and occasion wear now. Brides are done with feeling weighed down, both literally and stylistically. Super heavy lehengas with too much embroidery and stiff silhouettes are being replaced by lighter, more breathable ensembles that allow for movement and fun. The era of overly coordinated looks is also phasing out. Instead, there’s a move toward thoughtfully curated pieces — a pop of colour here, an unexpected blouse cut there —that feel more personal. In our work, we’re always aiming to design garments that are as comfortable as they are striking. You should feel like yourself, just the most celebrated, elevated version.

We’re in a really exciting place right now where Indian designers are telling stories that are both rooted and refreshingly modern. At our studio, we’ve continued to explore the relationship between bold prints, handcrafted details, and contemporary cuts. It’s been heartening to see people connect with that aesthetic. I’ve always admired the way Tarun Tahiliani blends tradition with structure and movement, or how Ritu Kumar’s work continues to echo India’s textile history. Anita Dongre is creating beautiful, wearable pieces that feel timeless yet relevant. What sets today’s Indian designers apart is that we’re not afraid to celebrate heritage while pushing the envelope and that energy is what makes this space so alive right now.
