Bridal Colours & Trends That Will Be Big For 2023

Bridal trends have seen massive changes in the last couple of years, even more than we anticipated!

And even if that is not your style, and you want to be the all out bride (because why not!), then there are some pointers here for you too!

Bridal Colours for 2023

Whether you are a bride who's team bright or team pastel, our 2023 list has bridal lehenga colours for both kind of brides! This year, a lot of trends have come about from celebrity brides, and in the past too, we have seen inspiration from celeb brides stick around for a long time!

So as per WedMeGood, these are the 5 bridal outfit colours that will be big this year:

• Empress Rose

This is the colour of Kiara Advani's Manish Malhotra bridal lehenga, and the colour we see becoming a massive hit this year. It's a soft hue of pink, which is not quite pastel, but not quite bright. A very flattering shade for fair to medium skin tones, we predict this is gonna be big in 2023, and maybe even beyond.

Alia Bhatt started the whole ivory and gold bridal outfit trend last year, and it's only gaining more and more popularity. Now more and more are picking not just ivory and gold, but even all-white lehengas, and it's possibly going to be one of the most popular bridal colours this year! While white never has been a traditional Indian bridal colour except for in Christian weddings, one can't deny that it has a daintiness to it that not many other colours have.

So now that we have a lowdown on the trending bridal lehenga colours for 2023, let's have a quick look at the bridal look trends that will be extremely popular this year.

Alia Bhatt made this trend even more popular, and this one is here to stay- minimal brides, in terms of makeup, jewellery or outfits are going to be a very popular look in 2023 as well. 

• Full-sleeved blouses

Whether it's a summer or a winter wedding, full sleeved blouses are going to be trending this year, and there's no denying that. With gorgeous sleeves full of embellishments, a blouse adds so much when done right! Fitting here is of prime importance!

While monotone is really not going anywhere, adding a second dupatta to add a pop of colour to the bridal look is coming back in vogue! Adds another layer of depth to the outfit, and of course, photographs well too!
