Wedding Wear Trends for Indian Couples

Let us look at wedding wear trends that will inspire you to create your own outfits for your 2025 wedding.

Classic and Contrasting Styles

• Red lehenga – Neutral Sherwani: This is a classic style that always stays in trend. However, in this outfit combination, color contrasting plays an important role. On the bride’s red lehenga, other than gold zari embroidery, we can see emerald tone thread work. Also with the cream toned sherwani, the groom has paired a greenish grey stole and turban.
• Red and Ivory: This is another typical example of contrast paring! Both the groom’s sherwani and bride’s lehenga showcase vertically arranged motifs. While the red lehenga has gold zari and thread work, the ivory sherwani showcases jaal embroidery work and gold thread embroidery.
• The Couple in Red & Gold: Such looks are absolutely timeless and always in trend. The bride wears a traditional lehenga in red and gold. On the other hand, the groom wears a cream sherwani. But his turban and stole are red. The stole is thoroughly embroidered in gold zari with tiny floral bootas.

Modern and Metallic Choices

• Bronze Lehenga & Formal Tuxedo: Instead of a gold lehenga, this bride flaunts a bronze lehenga on her reception night. It has all-over metallic beads embroidery in silver tone. The groom wears a formal black tuxedo which again is a timeless classic look!
• Orange Lehenga with Embellished Sherwani: While the orange lehenga skirt of the bride is pretty simple, the groom’s sherwanihas all over thread work showcasing vivid imagery. The bride’s skirt has a broad ornate border and her blouse is all-over embellished.
• Neutral Magic: Both the bride and the groom are wearing neutral tones! While the groom flaunts a classic ivory toned sherwani, the bride wears a light blush pink lehenga. Her lehenga showcases contrasting thread embroidery in gold and bronze!

Artistic and Traditional Weaves

1. Brocade Saree & Thread Work Sherwani: They love traditional fabrics like Banarasi brocades or Kanjivaram silks. The pink saree with Banarasi brocade work is a sight to behold! The border and the choli showcase zardozi embroidery! On the other hand, the groom wears a cream tone sherwani with all over floral embroidery in self tone.
2. Meenakari Wedding Wear: This couple wears gorgeous wedding outfits that flaunt an unique design language. On ivory surfaces, the embellishment is arranged in colors like gold, red and green. This is strongly reminiscent of ‘meenakari on marble’ work that became popular in the times of the Mughals.
3. Pastel Paraphernalia: Both the bride and the groom are wearing outfits with the same type of embellishment but in different pastel tones. This creates a matching yet contrasting effect. Both the attires showcase crystal stone and metallic beads embroidery.
4. Snow & Cherry: While the bride wears a traditional red & gold lehenga, the groom is seen in pristine light pastel blue sherwani. Against the picturesque alpine background they look exotic! The sherwani has embossed floral motifs on it and the bride’s net dupatta reflects the pastel neutral tone of the sherwani!

Simplified Coordination

Contrast coordination is perhaps the most simplistic way of doing it. A traditional red and gold lehenga for the bride and an ivory sherwani for the groom! What can be more appropriate? They are flaunting traditional wedding attires and the bride and groom have also co-ordinated bliss.
