From colour palettes to silhouettes and clutter core to heirloom revival fashion sentiments, the wedding season and bridal fashion 2024 would spell a transformative shift in extravagant celebrations.
According to experts, mermaid silhouettes too are likely to gain more popularity. However, for the wedding day, traditional saris and lehengas will continue to be the preferred choice.
Outfits crafted out of light sheer materials, such as chiffon and silk organza, would be the bride’s choice for a light and airy appearance on her special days
“The year ahead is slated to redefine bridal fashion in India,” Anuradha Chandrashekar, Co-Founder and Chief Creator, ICH NEXT, a creative strategy firm said.
While the recent past, witnessed a steep inclination towards indulgence of minimalist fashion in Indian weddings, the ceremonies ahead are likely to witness a more intimate and nostalgic celebration.
“While the brides and grooms-to-be would be up for a reminiscence of their journeys and shared moments, the current generation’s fondness for their roots and traditions would be proudly on display,” she added.

She further said that outfits crafted out of light sheer materials, such as chiffon and silk organza, would be the bride’s choice for a light and airy appearance on her special days.
“The interplay of translucency would further add to the bridal ensemble a hint of romanticism and a little drama. For the winter weddings though, we predict a season of warm yet lavish attires,” she stated.
A richly embroidered chugha coat could very well be a standard for winter wedding attire. They would stand out against the winter background with elaborate front embellishments, providing warmth with style.
Mermaid silhouettes too are likely to gain more popularity with fishtail skirts and scale-like sequined embellishments paired with clean translucent layers, brides are embracing the mermaid core trend, which gives the bridal outfit a whimsical and charming fairy-tale touch,” Chandrashekar pointed out.
“However, for the wedding day, traditional saris and lehengas will continue to be the preferred choice,” Zee News reported.
“The essence of Indian bridal wear is embodied by these famous silhouettes that radiate elegance and heritage. Anticipate a rise in patchwork and opulence in lehenga borders, with W-curve blouse cuts or brause (bra-blouse) coordination,” Chandrashekar explained.
When it comes to colours, beige is expected to be among the likings of modern-day brides, as they adorn their softness.
Brides may also go for striking colours for rituals such as mehendi and haldi, rather than the customary green or yellow.
A comeback of the Maharani Red should also be expected, but this time, the bride would be a queen with a monochromatic dominant colour mixed with antique and stone-studded jewellery and accessories.
