As someone who is getting married soon, I am keeping an eye out for the bridal trends of the season. Which colour palette is trending, what kind of accessories are in vogue and which makeup look is a hit currently, my Instagram search feed is full of these things! The wedding day is, of course, a big day for the bride. Everything has to be meticulously planned at least two months before. The perfect wedding look cannot be put together with a wave of a magic wand. You have to do plenty of research for it. So, if you are someone who is getting married by the end of the year, here are some of the best and most quirky bridal trends that will add a special touch to your big day!
Ditch heels for sneakers
Heels are the most opted-for footwear by brides. No doubt that there is a gazillion variety of bridal heels available today, and you can even get your own pair customised but heels can prove to be tedious. To wear them all day long along with the heavy lehenga and accessories might not be a good idea. Instead, you can opt for sneakers! There are many businesses that also customise your sneakers as per your requirements. Your feet can feel comfortable throughout the day, and you will not wake up complaining of sore feet the next morning!
Customised kaleeres
If wearing kaleeres is mandatory in your culture, but you are not liking the ones available? Fret not, dear ladies! You can also get them customised. Like Alia Bhatt got the number 8 added to hers, you can also get a date or a picture of you and your beau strung on it! It would add a nice personal touch to your kaleeres, and make you stand out as well! If you do not wear kaleeres, you can also get your bridal chooda customised with pictures of you and your boo!
Let your Mehendi tell your love story
We all know of that tradition that the deeper the colour of your henna, the more your husband loves you! But instead of the colour of your Mehendi proving how much your hubby loves you, why not let your Mehendi designs say your entire love story? Yes, instead of going for the normal intricate Mehendi designs that include floral patterns, peacocks and bridal figures, you can instead have your and your husband’s love story narrated through the designs! From when you’ll met to important events and days throughout your relationship, you can get all of it designed on your hands!
White and ivory are the new red!
If you are someone who doesn’t want to opt for the traditional red outfits for your wedding, you can now be a trendsetter among your friends by wearing white or ivory! There are so many pretty lehengas available in white and ivory today, that look rich and regal even when worn by the bride. And then to add a pop of colour to your look, you can opt for Kundan and coloured diamond jewellery! With this look, the guests will not be able to get their eyes off you!
The regal Indian bride look
A lot of brides think that they do not want to overdo their outfits and accessories. But I say, why not? it’s not like you are going to get married again, are you? If you want to wear a choker necklace, rani haar, a sheesh phool, maang tika, bangles, kaleere, cummerbund and bajuband, but are thinking if this will all be too much to wear, trust me, it will not! You can incorporate all these accessories into your bridal look and look like the most stunning bride! Katrina Kaif rocked this regal Indian bridal look and uff, I consider it an iconic one so far!

Add embellished blazers to your outfit
At one of your pre-wedding festivities, you can opt for an embellished blazer to wear over your outfit. It can be worn over a saree and even a lehenga choli. This is such a refreshing look, and it also very nicely blends both the western concept of a blazer with ethnic wear. You can experiment with all you want with the accessories with the blazer, too!
These bridal trends will set you apart and also make you a trendsetter in your friends circle! So, to all those girlies getting married soon, start taking notes on how to be the most hatke bride ever!
