Film costume has always shaped what India wears to weddings. One iconic song sequence can send thousands of brides to their designers with a screenshot. This season, five big screen trends are leading the way.
1. Jewel tones over pastels
Magenta, amethyst and marigold are pushing past blush and mint. Rich colours glow under evening lights and look spectacular in photographs.
2. The floating sheer dupatta
Designed to catch the breeze in a slow motion shot, the sheer dupatta adds movement to every step. Expect it in chiffon and organza with delicate borders.
3. Mirror work, reimagined
Tiny mirrors scattered across skirts and blouses catch every flash and diya. The effect is playful, festive and pure cinema.

4. Palace inspired embroidery and 5. Statement sleeves
Arches, domes and jharokha motifs are turning up in thread work, while puffed and bell sleeves add drama to modern blouses. Together they make a look that feels both heritage and here and now.
