Anushka Sharma started a trend without knowing it. When she married Virat Kohli in a pastel pink Sabyasachi lehenga, she unknowingly set the tone for Bollywood weddings for years.
Neha Kakkar, Karishma Tanna, Alia Bhatt, Kiara Advani, and more followed suit. Whether in pink, ivory, or champagne hues, pastel shades have replaced the traditional bright reds and oranges.
The latest to join the pastel bride club is influencer Prajakta Koli. She wore a custom Anita Dongre lehenga in her dreamy Karjat wedding, keeping up with Bollywood’s pastel obsession.
Fashion expert Ritu Kochhar links this trend to modern wedding settings. With more day weddings happening in beach locations like Goa and Maldives, pastels complement the backdrop beautifully.
Another reason pastels are in? They are easier to reuse. Alia Bhatt even re-wore her ivory wedding saree to the National Film Awards, proving pastel outfits have a longer shelf life.
Designer Jasmine Bains believes the trend is here to stay. From aesthetics to practicality, pastels are now the top choice for brides who want style, elegance, and versatility.
