Top Blouse Trends Spotted At The FDCI Manifest Wedding Weekend

When it comes to standing out with your style, the devil is in the details. For the wedding season, that could mean paying closer attention to all the elements of your look, including your blouse style. The recently held FDCI Manifest Wedding Weekend allowed us to get a glimpse of all the trends we would be seeing everywhere this wedding season.

From couturiers like Falguni Shane Peacock, Dolly J and Rohit Gandhi to Rahul Khanna, and Tarun Tahiliani, we saw pre-draped saris and lehngas with fine, beaded embellishment, heritage embroidery and beautiful surface artwork that left us awestruck. But that’s merely scratching the surface of what the world got to witness at the event. And so, not only the saris but the blouses being worn along with them were beyond spectacular- which is why we've curated blouse trends we spotted at the wedding show. Read on to know more...

Blouse Trends We Spotted at The FDCI Manifest Wedding Weekend

Corsets & Bustiers

If you had the chance to attend FMWW 2024, then you probably could not have been able to take your eyes off Dolly J’s romantic and feminine silhouettes from her collection ‘La Vie en Rose.’ But a large and significant part of those stunning silhouettes were the corsetted gowns and dresses that the couturier presented at the wedding show. And let’s not forget the incredible bustier dresses and garments that Roseroom by Isha Jajodia presented; With shades of baby blues, whites, reds, and ivories, Roseroom offered a visual treat to the world with its collection which was, just FYI, influenced by French Romanticism!

Peplum Silhouettes

Whether it’s Jayanti Reddy's stellar plunging neckline peplum top with sharara, Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna’s corsetted peplum pieces or Roseroom by Isha Jajodia’s stunning metallic corset plus peplum blouses OR Siddartha Tytler’s structured, contemporary versions of the Y2K favourite silhouette; it seems the return of the peplum silhouette has also infiltrated the Indian bridal couture scenario. And we couldn’t be more thrilled. Peplum top-wear certainly has a charm to it, especially when it comes to ethnic clothing.

Statement Necklines

This bridal season is all about sweetheart necklines or embellished necklines, it seems. Designers such as Anita Dongre, Gaurav Gupta, Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Tarun Tahiliani and Roseroom by Isha Jajodia have mastered the art of making the décollage look stunning with their sweetheart necklines. Whereas, couturiers such as Suneet Varma, Siddartha Tytler and Rahul Mishra found intriguing ways to add embellishment at or around the necklines. Rahul Mishra championed the idea of wearing a cape over the blouse, Suneet Varma added stunning abstract structures that adorned the neckline of his blouses and Siddartha Tytler weaved magic with his brilliant cutout game! Looks like it’s going to be an all-out-neckline wedding season.

Micro Blouses

While blouses are customisable, the beauty of Indian bridal wear is that you can do whatever you please with your outfits. At FMWW 2204, we saw micro blouses take precedence. Whether it was JJ Valaya, Falguni Shane Peacock, Rimzim Dadu or Jayanti Reddy, the blouses’ hemlines were significantly higher and further apart from the lehenga skirts and saris. So, either we’re going to be seeing longer, hip-hitting top-wear or higher-than-high ones!

What a stunning wedding weekend we got to witness. Are you ready to scour and shop for blouses with stunning necklines and embellishments?
