Indian weddings are no strangers to grandeur and innovation, but 2025 is taking things up a notch with trends that are as dazzling as they are unforgettable, and most importantly, close to your heart. From intimate yet luxe micro weddings to over-the-top bridesmaid reveals, this year’s shaadi season is all about blending traditions with a modern flair. Couples are curating every detail, ensuring their big day stands out—whether it’s a perfectly timed sunset ceremony, quirky QR code photo uploads, or dramatic décor that rivals a Bollywood set. If you’re planning to say “Tenu Leke Main Jawanga” this year, these trends are here to inspire, surprise, and add that extra sparkle to your celebrations!
1. Wedding Outfit Reveal To Bridesmaid
Sure, capturing your to-be husband’s reaction to your bridal outfit before the wedding can be romantic, but these days brides are switching it up with bridesmaid reveals. Your BFFs are as important and seeing you in your wedding attire will bring out some of the best reactions. Your groom’s reaction might be more special when you walk down the aisle with your perfect song.
2. The Perfect Wedding Song
This year, brides are curating their perfect wedding song that can be attached throughout the wedding. This one song will always remind you of your special day. While many curate new songs from scratch expressing their love story, many make fusions of songs that are already special to them as a couple.
3. Unconventional Colour Combos
Sure, pastels are not going anywhere. But what you can do to stand out is wear interesting colour choices that will make you stand out. While Bollywood actress Kriti Kharbanda wore a pastel pink lehenga, her groom Pulkit DSamrat opted for a stunning Pista green sherwani stealing all eyes. You can do the same for decor.
4. Minimal Mehendi
If we have learnt anything after Aditi Rao Hydari’s wedding, it would be the magic of minimal and personalised mehendi. Elaborate mehendi designs are stepping aside for minimalist patterns with sleek lines, geometric shapes, and delicate florals. It’s chic, modern, and perfect for brides who want to keep it simple yet stunning.
5. IV Therapy
Weddings are tiring, but 2025 couples are combatting fatigue with on-site IV therapy stations. Guests and the bridal party can recharge with a quick hydration boost, ensuring everyone is ready to dance the night away. Well, it might sound strange but weddings are supposed to have surprising elements right?
6. Social Media Manager
Why stress over live updates and hashtags when you can hire a professional? Social media managers for weddings are a must-have in 2025. They’ll capture, edit, and post all the best moments in real-time, making sure your wedding trends are online while you focus on having fun.
7. Micro Weddings
Intimate gatherings are here to stay, with micro weddings taking centre stage. These smaller celebrations focus on close-knit vibes, thoughtful details, and luxurious touches, proving that less really is more.
8. Toi-Et-Moi Rings
Double the diamonds, double the charm! The “you and me” ring trend features two stones symbolizing the couple’s union. With unique stone combinations like emeralds and diamonds or sapphires and pearls, these rings are romantic, modern, and oh-so-gorgeous.
9. Film Pictures/Documentary Wedding Shoot
Digital might be convenient, but film photography is having a major moment. There’s something timeless and nostalgic about the grainy texture of film photos, making every shot feel like a work of art. It’s perfect for capturing those raw, candid emotions.
10. Surprise Dances For Each Other
Picture the bride pulling off a fun Bollywood number for her groom, or the groom gathering his gang for a flash mob. It’s personal, unexpected, and keeps the energy high!
