Experimental Menus
Gastronomic delights have always been pivotal at Indian weddings but 2025 is rewriting the script with menus that are as personal as they are delicious. New-age couples are turning their wedding feasts into sensory storytelling experiences, crafting menus inspired by their personalities, travel adventures, and cultural roots. From bespoke flavors to thoughtfully curated dishes, every bite will tell a tale as unique as the couple themselves.

Wedding Content Creators
Wedding photographers and videographers aren’t the only ones capturing your wedding now. The rise of wedding content creators has paved the way for fun behind-the-scenes moments and bloopers which can also be posted online in a snackable video format to make your wedding go viral!
Redefining traditions
Grand celebrations are stealing the spotlight, with couples reimagining age-old traditions to make them their own. From swapping formal receptions for lively sangeets to scheduling mehndi ceremonies before engagements (a la the iconic Ambani wedding), these new twists allow couples to maximize the joy and flaunt every detail—like henna-patterned hands throughout the festivities. Tradition has never looked so fresh!

Eco-friendly Wedding Stationery
As couples lean more strongly towards sustainability, 2025 will continue to see a growing focus on wedding stationery that is easier on the planet and combines style with environmental responsibility. Couples are opting for plantable seed paper invitations, which guests can later grow into wildflowers, recyclable paper, and even e-invites are becoming more of a norm.

Corset Obsession
Indian brides have always been adventurous in fashion, seamlessly fusing Indian and Western silhouettes. And they seem to be doing it again by embracing the corset! Corset cholis are a flattering and unconventional alternative to the usual designs. They can easily be paired up with a fishtail lehenga for a glam sangeet or cocktail look -, giving brides a modern, edgy vibe without sacrificing tradition.

Destinations closer to home to hit the home run in 2025
Planning a destination wedding can be a logistical challenge, which is why Indian couples are increasingly choosing destinations that offer convenience and cultural familiarity. In 2025, expect to see more Indian weddings in places like Vietnam, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, and Sri Lanka, all offering the perfect blend of accessibility and cultural resonance. Meanwhile, off-beat domestic destinations like the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Varanasi, and West Bengal will also witness an increase in destination weddings.

Giving back to the community
Sharing your happiness multiplies it and it stands true for the coming year too. Similar to giving back to the planet, couples of today are more than eager to share their joy with the community. More than ever, couples are eschewing gifts and urging their loved ones to donate to charities instead of gifting, adopting wedding waste management, distributing food to the underprivileged and more. WeddingSutra Charity Registry is a great way to double up your wedding joy by helping change lives.
Mandaps or art installation?
Wedding mandaps in 2025 are in for a serious makeover with artistic floral arrangements, out-of-the-box structures, and unique textures. From whimsical papier-mache-inspired designs to dramatic frames made of lush foliage and cascading crystals, the mandap will become more of an art installation than a simple ceremonial space, offering a stunning backdrop for the wedding celebration.

The comeback of traditional weaves
The traditional nine yards are experiencing a stunning revival, with celebrity brides choosing Kanjeevaram, Banarasi, Gharchola, and Chikankari sarees, often sourced directly from weavers. Whether draped in classic styles or reimagined with contemporary twists, sarees will have a prime place under the spotlight in 2025.
Colored gemstones and OTT wedding jewellery
The Ambani wedding undoubtedly set a new standard for wedding jewellery, inspiring trends that will carry into 2025. Expect to see more brides embracing colorful gemstones like emeralds, rubies, and sapphires, along with traditional polki and colored diamonds. From statement choker necklaces to offbeat maang tikkas and bangles, bold jewellery designs will continue to take center stage in 2025.
