11 Wedding Lehenga Trends
Anarkali Silhouette
While there are so many trends like asymmetrical hems or bodycon skirts, the conventional A-line skirt with so many Kalis never goes out of style. Carrying the charm and class, many millennial brides have embraced these types of lehengas. Also, the feeling of twirling in these skirts is beyond imagination. These days brides are wearing banarasi lehengas with big kalidar skirts and show that they are no less than a diva.
Technicolor lehengas
Technicolor is a name that will evoke nostalgia in anyone who grew up in the 1990s. As exemplified in bridal lehengas, this retro trend is not only close to our hearts, but also looks like a million bucks. Designer Amit Agarwal has been at the forefront of this trend and channelled this pattern particularly well in his work. Fashion police say metallic technicolour silhouettes will also be embraced by brides in 2022!
Sweeping trails
Global icons like Priyanka Chopra laid the trend of overly dramatic trails. These days brides are seen following the star and having long gliding skirts. Manish Malhotra is among the designers who are adding this type of pattern to his designs. Apart from Malhotra, Chandni Chowk lehenga stores like Sudhir Bhai Sareewala and Asiana Couture are also offering this stunning element to brides on a budget. We can foresee a boom in this trend.
White and off-white lehengas
When it comes to Indian weddings, one can see bright colours like red, pink, orange, and maroon are the favourite tones of the brides. But the trend is changing, brides are moving towards more unconventional colours like white. It also looks fantastic at night in a whimsical, modern phera setup, shining its purity in a pristine white lehenga. The latest one to follow is Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor. They kept their wedding theme Off-white only. The latest Mijwan Fashion week also witnessed Deepika Padukone walking the ramp in an off-white Lehenga. For the upcoming winter, this trend will continue.
Printed Lehengas for Pre-wedding Shenanigans
The long celebration in Indian weddings makes the process very tiring. The Gen-Z brides are opting for more vibrant and comfortable attires for their pre-wedding functions. The printed lehengas have alluring prints and vibrant colours that take everyone’s attention. You can find Bollywood celebrities like Anushka Sharma to each of the brides in these printed ensembles.
Unconventional Shades
Brides these days want to look different from the traditional red, and pink. They have started opting for turquoise blue, green, golden yellow, and brown. Makeup artist and influencer Kriti Dhir opted for a turquoise blue and wine-shaded lehenga for her wedding. These days the love for lavender or lilac colour is in the air. If you are looking for designer outfits in these shades, then Rimple & Harpreet and Payal keyal will be catering to your needs. Honestly, the choice is yours as it’s your special day.
Belts are the latest accessory
The latest accessory adding oomph to your attire is the modern belt. The Kamarbandh as the Indians calls it is a vintage piece of accessories that brides use to wear. The trend has re-emerged. This style was even worn by Priyanka Chopra in her sindoor lehenga with a diamond belt. Go for the premium ones of gold or diamond or even designer belts that can also work.
Heavy Can-can lehenga skirts
Look like a princess on your D-day with a heavy, flared lehenga. The simple net stuffed with a stiff can-can adds fluff to your skirt. It looks nothing short of a fairytale. You can opt for this style for Mehendi or wedding day as you have to move very little. For Haldi, cocktail or reception night is a no. This is forever going to be in trend, the choice is yours.
Pastels and Florals
With Anushka Sharma wearing the floral lehenga in pastel shade by Sabyasachi, it has become the personal favourite of every bride out there. An elegant pastel lehenga would be a perfect choice for brides who are planning romantic, chic celebrations. The groom can also twin with you in an ivory colour sherwani and a matching safa & dupatta. This would be stunning, like Virat and Anushka’s shade synchronization in pictures.
Statement blouses
With organza making its reentry into the charts, statement blouses with dramatic sleeves are everyone’s choice. Bridesmaids, brides, and other girls are also options for these pieces even with sarees. The simple blouse design can be revamped with frills, bell sleeves, puffer sleeves, deep square necks, and heavy embellishments. You can remodel your old lehenga with a designer blouse like this one.
Shimmer is in the heart
In the upcoming wedding season 2022, brides will be flocking to glitters, such as mirror work, sequins, and metallic work. It goes without saying that Abhinav Mishra is the go-to designer for mirrorwork lehengas. However, others exist as well. It’s a perfect option for cocktails.
