Actors Pulkit Samrat and Kriti Kharbanda With their closest friends and family present, looked stunning in Anamika Khanna’s bridal trousseau as they exchanged vows in Manesar. On the D-day, Pulkit chose an olive-colored kurta that went nicely with the pastel-themed wedding, while Kriti wore a pink pastel with traditional jewellery.
Remember how stunningly dreamy it looked when Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, Athini Shetty and KL Rahul, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha, Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi, and most recently Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani wore various pastel shades like pink, ivory, mauve, and baby blue, lavender, and lilac.
Is it a fresher trend?
Pastel colors have always been a staple of bridal trousseaux, to be honest. According to fashion designer Gautam Gupta, it has become more accepted and visible over the last few years. “Destination and concept weddings are one of the reasons for their prominence,” stated Gupta in conversation with Indian Express.
Why is it in demand?
“With different zaris, yarns interlaced with conventional ones the pastels look vibrant yet muted,” stated Gupta.
The pastel colour palette has a more global appeal as it is closer to the white bride aesthetic, shared. “Being largely associated with softness and tenderness, the shades create a dream-like, ethereal vibe, which works very well for these weddings, which are major public affairs,” added costume designer Nidhi Yasha.
Additionally, according to Gupta, there has been a “mindset shift of the Gen Zs,” who are all set to embrace non-traditional colors like powder blues, musk mist, mint tea, rose dust, and lilac lace.
“Trousseau isn’t just saris and lehengas anymore. One keeps stitched sarees, pant suits, co-ord sets, and fusion wear which are designed exceptionally in pastels as well,” wrapped up Gupta.
