Weddings in peak Summers always come with their own baggage. Designer Priyanka Gupta of Label SUMMER brings you some wedding trends which are cool and happening this wedding season.
Ceremonies attended by your closest friends and family only allow rituals, love, and joy to take centerstage. Fortunately, it’s a trend that seems to have found favour with brides and grooms even post covid, and they’re still opting for joint ceremonies like haldi and mehendi, where even with a smaller gathering, the fun seems to double up.
Gone are the days when Indian brides were weighed down by the weight of their lehengas and traditions. Our modern Indian brides manifest their own dream weddings by having a ball at their wedding just like all their guests and brides the world over.
Indian brides are deftly marrying Indian traditions and their fairytale dreams, to produce thoughtfully assembled weddings with a global appeal. From daytime weddings to wearing ivories with dewy makeup and carrying floral jewellery, these girls have a mind of their own and we love it!
The popular trend amongst brides is the move to a more softer colour palette. With overall wedding themes and aesthetics becoming increasingly important with the advent of social media weddings - a soft aesthetic puts the bride's outfit, the groom's look, and the wedding decor (which is largely floral) all in sync.
Sarees are taking over lehengas as preferred bridal attire amongst brides. A trend brought to the mainstream by Alia Bhatt in recent times. While some brides opt for heirloom sarees, some brides like to design their own according to their personalities and sometimes even to match their groom’s attire!
