Decoding All The Bridesmaid Styles You Can Spot At An Indian Wedding
What kind of bridesmaid are you?
Indian weddings are as much about the bride as they are about her entourage of bridesmaids, with each one bringing her own brand of flair to the festivities. No longer bound by matchy-matchy rules, today’s bridesmaids are rewriting the style playbook.
There’s the maximalist, who arrives with a blinding shimmer of sequins and jewellery, never one to shy away from drama. The traditionalist swears by handloom silks and mogra in her hair, while the minimalist makes a case for clean cuts and subtle shimmer.
From fashion-forward statement-makers to those who find joy in the classics, the bridal squad is a vibrant mix of moods, aesthetics, and personalities.
We’ve curated looks for all the different kinds of bridesmaids from some of the top couturiers in the country for your wedding season moodboards…
