When it comes to weddings, there's so much to consider, and while we get that food, guest lists and decor is important, the bride is prime! So, we spoke to CEO & Founder of Flyrobe, Aanchal Saini, to tell us top trends for all kinds of lehengas and bloused, for brides in 2022. 

While Go Big Or Go Home is the official bridal mantra for Indian brides, they are also becoming mindful of their choices. Buying expensive lehengas for single use is both expensive and unsustainable. Brides either spend a bomb buying their favourite lehengas or go for cheap counterfeits to satiate their desires. The good news is that a simple solution exists for all these problems and it is ‘Rental Fashion’. Renting heavy Indian wear makes so much sense financially and environmentally. It is an intelligent, non-committal, and guilt-free option that ensures you are the main character on your wedding day without letting your compromise with your fashion choices. 

Let’s look at the top seven bridal trends of 2022 that will help you shop for the perfect wedding lehenga!

The Anarkali Bride

Trends may come and go but A-line, Anarkali lehenga silhouettes are here to stay. This lehenga silhouette suits all body types and is the perfect ensemble for an Indian wedding. Anarkali silhouette is deeply rooted in our tradition and is still the number one choice for most brides. Even though designers are trying to add a millennial touch to the lehengas by adding asymmetrical hemlines, tea length, etc., these trends are still not mainstream. The brides of 2022 love their Kalis and are opting for the royal look for their big day.

The Bling Bride

For 2022 brides, the more glitter the better. They love to shine, whether in their 1000-step skincare routine or dipping their lehengas in glitter. The shimmer trend stays strong and our dear brides don’t seem to shy away from the attention. Be it metallic work embroidery, mirror work, innumerable sequins, or shiny hues, it’s all about glamour.

The Deep V Blouse Bride

Blouses are as important or even more important than lehenga skirts. The latest trend in blouse necklines is the deep V neckline, thanks to Sabyasachi. All the top designers have incorporated their versions of deep Vs and our 2022 brides can’t keep calm! The deep neckline adds a high fashion style quotient to the outfit and is a popular choice amongst millennial brides. Blouses have become experimental with the addition of exaggerated sleeves, ruffles, contrasting embroidery, and various other design elements. It helps the brides add a customised feel to their lehengas without spending too much.

The Veri Peri Bride

Veri Peri is a gift to the fashion industry by Pantone. It was named colour of the year and has since captured the attention of the industry. Commonly known as Burple, this hue is trendy nowadays and is a great way to stand out from the crowd on the wedding day. This shade is perfect for day functions and adds romanticism to the ensemble. These lehengas can also be worn for other festivities as the hue is soft and blends well for various occasions. Purple lehengas were popular in 2017 and with the invention of Veri Peri, this color palette is now mainstream.

The Cape Dupatta Bride

Dupattas have been an intricate part of a wedding lehenga. Over the years, dupatta styles have evolved beautifully as brides love the ‘Dulhan vali feeling’ they get after donning a heavy dupatta and completing their look. Dupatta styles change fast and are widely influenced by Bollywood celebrity brides. The contrast dupatta trend, double dupatta trend, trail dupatta trend, personalized embroidered dupatta trend, etc. still prevail but the ‘Cape Dupatta Trend’ is the latest. Brides are widely opting to wear their dupattas as capes in various styles, the most popular being pinning them over both shoulders. This trend looks super classy and is here to stay!

The Technicolor Bride

Remember when we were kids and our TV screens often displayed technicolor stripes? 90’s kids can relate to this and therefore loved it when ace designers beautifully mingled it with traditional bridal lehengas, making it the newest bridal trend for the year.

Brides are going big on technicolor lehengas whether they are metallic, embellished, tie and dyed, or printed.

The Pastel Bride

Pastels and muted tones are a staple choice for brides this year, following the footsteps of celebrities like Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, etc. Brides are shunning bright hues and choosing softer tones. These lehengas are more usable and can be styled in various ways for other occasions. Pastels like beige, muted gold, pinks, and greens are well desired. This color palette, combined with floral embroidery and embellishments is quite a showstopper.
