It’s time to review some emerging trends in bridal fashion as the 2022 wedding season draws near, especially for traditional attire like wedding lehengas. Indian brides and bridesmaids are going all out and experimenting with their appearances while the majority of the world prefers minimalistic clothing alternatives. The wedding lehengas trends have so much to offer brides of 2022, from ornate, OTT outfits to subtle pastel tones.
Scroll down to see our look at the following trends in bridal lehengas for 2022-23 to get a sense of what we can anticipate seeing from our colorful brides this year!
Classic Reds
Indian brides are more likely to like maximalist wedding dresses that give them a regal vibe, whereas western brides adore minimalism. The pandemic has reduced the number of guests and affected the wedding decor and themes as well, but lehengas and the jewelry that goes with them are all about showcasing the maximalist Indian culture. Red lehengas are just not going anywhere. They are a true classic and the ultimate choice for many brides.
Dramatic Blouses
What is a bridal lehenga if it doesn’t have a ton of frill and flair? On your special day, these stunning blouses give your lehenga just the right amount of allure and shine, making you feel like a true princess. This style adds a thrilling impact to your outfit.
Capes for the win!
No matter how simple it is, a sweeping cape can give your wedding attire a royal air. These capes are now being incorporated into lehenga patterns by a huge number of fashion houses and couture labels. Brides are enchanted with them! In 2022, we anticipate a surge in this fashion and want to see more extravagant lehengas with capes.
Vibrant Cholis
While minimal skirts and asymmetrical hems are two recent trends in bridal lehengas, embellished blouses are a timeless style. Due to their timeless allure, many millennial bridesmaids have chosen this traditional yet beautiful look. Additionally, they add a much-needed sparkle to the comparatively subtle lehengas.
Ivory Masterpieces
We are most accustomed to seeing bridal lehengas in the colors of red, pink, and orange during Indian weddings. However, over time, customs have changed, and so too have the attitudes of those who organize weddings. As a result, more brides are choosing to wear white, ivory, and beige lehengas to their weddings and pre-wedding functions. Despite being unorthodox, white bridal lehengas are aesthetically pleasing and elegant, and their whimsical details really make them stand out.
Pastel Perfection
The Pantone color “Very Peri,” or “Blurple,” is the official color for 2022, opening a ray for pastels for this wedding season. People will undoubtedly turn to look at this cheery color. Even if it’s not the exact shade, we can’t wait for more brides to wear lovely pastel shades in the upcoming wedding season!
Iconic Sleeves
Statement sleeves have a moniker that is sure to bring back memories for all the 90s kids out there. Not only is this vintage fashion dear to our hearts, but it has also been shown to look very stunning when worn with bridal lehengas for pre-wedding events. And we have no doubt that bridesmaids will still favor these eye-catching styles in 2022!
Multiple Hues
We are consistently surprised by wedding dresses. Either the classic red lehengas are chosen by brides, or they completely surprise us with colors like yellow, orange, or turquoise blue! There is simply no middle ground now. And with their exquisite designs in outlandish colors and their combos, artistic designers are doing everything they can to accommodate the new-age bride and wedding guests. Sincerely, if you’re over pastels, crimson, or neutral colors, these striking dual hues are perfect for you!
Floral Fanatic
For the past several years, floral lehenga designs have been in vogue, and we are certain they are here to stay. Additionally, floral lehengas with intricate details are very breathtaking. Despite the fact that many brides and bridesmaids in 2021 opted for this wedding dress, we anticipate seeing a lot more women rock floral lehengas with embroidery, especially for the pre-wedding events!
