Indian weddings are known for their lavish clothes, food, and décor, but curiosity peaks for celeb brides and their looks. This year, several well-known beauties tied the knot and began their happily-ever-afters, many of them stepping away from conventional choices. Instead, they opted for outfits and accessories that were traditional and exquisite.
From Sobhita Dhulipala to P.V. Sindhu, celeb brides of 2024 set new trends and won praise for honouring Indian craftsmanship and heritage. They chose designer outfits but added their personal touch, keeping the emotional connection to their roots intact. Here’s a roundup of brides who broke all fashion rules by staying true to themselves on their special day.
Badminton star PV Sindhu, who married on December 12, wore a shimmery Manish Malhotra saree in ivory. The handcrafted piece featured intricate embroidery with her husband’s name inscribed on the border of her head veil. The gorgeous outfit was paired with an heirloom multi-tiered necklace comprising emeralds and diamonds.
Aditi Rao Hydari made for a happy bride in a silk-textured red lehenga paired with a matching organza dupatta. The understated Sabyasachi outfit was elevated with a heavily embroidered border at the bottom of the lehenga and contrasting jewels. Instead of mehendi, the actress opted for crescent-shaped alta on her hands and feet, making the look ethereal and nostalgic.
Radhika Merchant’s Haldi look stood out for its stunning floral dupatta made from marigold flowers and jasmines. The custom-made outfit by Anamika Khanna was paired with matching floral jewels. The trendsetting ensemble gained traction on the internet in no time and wowed netizens.
On her wedding day, Radhika donned a red and white lehenga, typically worn by Gujarati brides. Designed by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, it prominently featured zardozi work and hand-embroidered floral motifs.
Sobhita Dhulipala embraced tradition like no other by wearing a vintage bajuband with her handwoven kanjeevaram saree designed by Gaurang Shah. Her accessories included a maatha patti, chaand suraj, mango mala, and choker in polki, diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. She looked every bit the regal South Indian bride.
Sonakshi Sinha, who married longtime boyfriend Zaheer Iqbal in June, wore her mother’s ivory saree, making the moment even more special. Complemented with a gajra and alta, she looked radiant in her timeless traditional ensemble.
While weddings are about celebrating a couple’s future together, they are also an opportunity for brides to look back, reflect on their roots, and celebrate their individuality. This year, brides chose outfits and accessories that not only honoured tradition but also reflected their personal style. For those planning to tie the knot in 2025, these trendsetting looks will provide plenty of inspiration.
