Indian weddings have always been more than ceremonies—they’re theatre, tradition, and personal storytelling woven together with couture. In 2025, bridal fashion is undergoing a renaissance, where designers are moving beyond the predictable “red and gold” narrative and offering collections that speak to individuality, emotion, and modern cultural sensibilities. From Sabyasachi’s reverence for heritage to Masaba’s bold spiritual lens, these collections are set to dominate not just mandaps but also Instagram feeds, destination weddings, and luxury ateliers this year.
House Of Masaba’s ‘Sabr. Shukr. Sukoon’
Masaba, the queen of quirk and cultural subtext, is recasting bridalwear through her 2025 collection Sabr. Shukr. Sukoon. Rooted in spirituality, the collection is a meditation on patience, gratitude and peace, virtues she believes today’s brides carry into marriage. Expect ivory silk lehengas embroidered with Sufi calligraphy, playful accents like ghungroo tassels, and statement dupattas printed with spiritual motifs. The look is less about ostentation, more about wearable heritage with soul. Masaba’s brides in 2025 are thoughtful, joyous, and strikingly modern.
Gaurav Gupta’s ‘Quantum Entanglement‘
Known for his futuristic silhouettes, Gaurav Gupta turns his sculptural lens toward love itself with Quantum Entanglement. The collection explores the way two lives intertwine, fluid drapes, metallic embroidery, and abstract geometric motifs mimic the threads of fate. Picture sculpted ivory gowns with 3D embroidery, midnight blue lehengas cascading like galaxies, and androgynous sherwanis that break the mold of menswear. Gupta’s 2025 bride isn’t afraid to look like she belongs on both a wedding mandap and the Met Gala red carpet.
Suneet Varma’s ‘Sehr‘
For his latest at ICW’25, Suneet Varma has gone back to what he does best: unabashed romance. Sehr celebrates the poetry of Mughal miniature paintings and old-world bridal regality. Think jewel-toned velvets, gota-patti borders, feather play, and intricate mirrorwork, but with lighter, modern cuts for the millennial bride. Varma envisions Sehr as a love letter to intimacy and abundance, perfect for brides who want glamour without giving up comfort.
Sabyasachi’s ‘Modern Heritage Bridal‘
No conversation on Indian bridal couture is complete without Sabyasachi. With Modern Heritage Bridal, the couturier doubles down on his position as custodian of Indian craft. Every piece is steeped in centuries-old textile traditions: handwoven Banarasi silks, zardozi embroidery from Lucknow, and Bengali kantha-inspired details. The palette is regal but restrained, deep maroons, antique gold, and ivory. But what makes it 2025-worthy is its versatility: separates designed to be reworn, heirloom-quality dupattas meant to be passed down, and silhouettes that celebrate timelessness in an era of fast fashion.
