Indian weddings are among the most exciting, elaborate, and dynamic events, and pre-wedding shoots have become the ultimate way to announce, like a celebrity, that you’ve said 'yes' and are soon to be a bride or groom. With these announcements gaining popularity in recent years, one noticeable shift is that the days of heavily decorated studios are nearly over. Now, from beaches to monuments, nature has become the go-to backdrop. This makes it essential to find pre-wedding outfit ideas that perfectly match specific themes and locations.

Here’s a roundup of outfit ideas for pre-wedding photoshoots that are trending for 2024-25!

Bollywood Dreams

I bet you've always envisioned being part of a Bollywood rom com at least once in your life. If that’s true, it’s time to channel your inner Kajol and SRK from K3G! You can never go wrong with a gorgeous chiffon saree and a sleek bandgala. The best part about these outfits is that you can wear them in any picturesque setting, from the Kutch deserts to snowy mountaintops, if you're truly committed to the Bollywood dream.

How to Style: If you want to go all out Bollywood, don’t stop at the outfits. Complete your look with eye-catching jewellery, like a multi-layered pearl necklace. For men, focusing on details—such as a classy watch—can make a significant difference.

Old Money Vibes

During one of your endless scrolls on Instagram, you’ve likely come across the 'old money' trend that’s popping up everywhere. One sub-trend that has our heart is the wedding edition, featuring stunning black-and-white images of an equally gorgeous couple dressed in a beautiful evening gown and a well-fitted tuxedo. If this is the energy you want to channel for your pre-wedding photoshoot outfits, choose a sophisticated location, like a five-star hotel with cascading stairs, and you’ll be all set!

How to Style: To nail the look, embrace metallic accessories—whether it’s a gold bracelet or a silver watch. Even the smallest details should exude elegance, so choose your accents wisely.

A Royal Affair

We’ve all been fans of Sabyasachi and his immaculate photoshoots that exude regal elegance. If you want to embrace a royal vibe with your partner, don’t hesitate to choose a heavy lehenga and a sherwani. What better way to announce your wedding than by truly looking the part? For the location, select a haveli or an old monument to complete the look.

How to Style: For a top-notch 'Jashn-E-Bahaaraa' look, opt for heavy earrings and a glamourous royal hairdo. We also suggest choosing juttis over uncomfortable heels, as you’ll want to stay comfortable during a long, intense photoshoot. For men, an elaborate chikankari sherwani paired with a pearl mala will have you looking dashing!

Tropic Like It's Hot

Embody your honeymoon even before it happens with a relaxed beachy or resort-wear look. We bet the pictures will not only look summery but also feel fuss-free and fun—perfect to frame as a cherished memory. If you live near the sea or can travel to a coastal destination, don’t think twice!

LBB Pro Tip: Check out versatile beach outfit ideas here.

How to Style: For a comfy seaside look, keep accessories minimal and let the natural backdrop shine. Dainty hoops and strappy sandals will do the trick. For men, an oversized t-shirt paired with cool trousers and sandals will look fantastic!

Twinning Is Winning

Yes, it may be cliché, but it’s definitely not outdated! Double the love in your pre-wedding photoshoot with a stylish twin look—no king and queen t-shirts here! You can choose a classy or casual approach, completely up to you. For a refined ensemble, opt for black, burgundy, or teal satins—timeless hues and materials. To keep it casual, wearing pastel linens amid greenery will look lovely!

How to Style: Since it's all about twinning with your partner, maintain the matchy magic by selecting accessories that complement each other's outfits. A subtle pop of contrasting colour can also add a nice touch!

Old-School Vibes

Remember those vintage-style videos featuring a woman opening an old, stained journal to write a letter or a couple sitting on a bench enjoying a cup of chai? Such old-school aesthetics are definitely in demand now. While I'm not suggesting a full dive into retro, opting for soft 90s-era traditional outfits—like cotton silk sarees for women and a white kurta-pant set for men—can beautifully highlight Indian elegance.

How to Style: Start with a bun adorned with gajra, and don’t forget the bangles! Men, elevate your look with kolhapuri chappals!
