Many brides look forward to getting married in winter for a number of reasons—the beautiful snow, the cooler (and perhaps more comfortable than blazing heat) weather, and the proximity to other big holidays, to name a few. While western trends tend to skew toward icy colors during winter weddings, Indian fashion and décor leans more toward bright and vibrant colors—perfect for injecting fun into drab, cold months. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular winter wedding lehenga trends.
Unique Color Combinations
Unlikely pairings are hot this winter. Lime and burgundy may not seem like they’d go well together, but with gold embroidered accents, the look works. It brings a unique vision and creates an interesting look that is stunning. Another popular choice is chartreuse and rust—again, these two colors are seemingly on opposite ends of the spectrum, but when places together, they look absolutely gorgeous. A third unique color combination we’ve seen a lot of lately is bright yellow with hot pink. While it’s not nearly as rare to spot these two eye-popping bright together, they’re popular for a reason—the contrast in hue creates a stunning look, especially when a sheer fabric is introduced to let one color shine through the other.
Jewel Tones – Sapphire, Amethyst, Citrine, Fuchsia
Jewel-toned lehengas always look beautiful on winter brides—or anytime-of-the-year brides, to be honest. But during the colder months of the year, when gray, slush, snow, and overcast days seem to be never-ending, rich and gorgeous jewel tones are even more appreciated. What’s even better is no matter what your preference, you’ll be able to find something you love—because jewel-toned and bright lehengas are so popular, they’re made in a seemingly-infinite number of color combinations. Choose from sapphire and amethyst, citrine, fuchsia, emerald, and plenty of other colors.
Dark Lace
Finally, a trend that’s not too popular yet (but we imagine will be soon, due to how drop-dead gorgeous it is) is a jewel tone with a contrastingly-dark lace overlay. This look plays up the bride’s glowing skin, using the contrast between tan skin and the sheer lace to draw the eye in. If you’re a little shy, choose a design that shows off your arms only—but don’t be too afraid to let the lace shine.
