The demure-coded all-red bride will never go out of fashion: Aditi Rao Hydari, Nayanthara, PC the fire are proof

There’s no telling of what the modern day bride’s wedding colour palette is going to be. While pinks and now ivories — the former since Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s intimate 2018 nuptials and the latter, specifically since Alia Bhatt’s wedding to Ranbir Kapoor in 2022 — are hardly ‘different’ now, the boundaries of what screams ‘marriage’ have no limit. We’ve seen blues, oranges, greens, buttery yellows, gold, lilac, beige, you name it. So when an all-red bride walks down her aisle, dressed from head to toe in, easily the most traditional hue for the big day, you can’t help but have a little moment of realisation of why red will always make for a top-tier bridal moment. Now there’s enough inspo on the internet when it comes to the classic gold-embellished red ensembles, irrespective of if you’re a bride-to-be or simply daydreaming. What we have for you here instead, are a brigade of all-red brides in recent times, who seamlessly embraced the maximal colour, albeit with a touch of soft, minimalism. Aditi Rao Hydari to Nayanthara: The all-red bride brigade captures the endless appeal of the most marriage-coded hue(Photos: Instagram) Aditi Rao HydariAditi Rao Hydari’s first set of wedding photos, featured her in an ethereal handwoven Maheshwari tissue lehenga paired with a Benarasi tissue dupatta from the archives of the Saasachi Heritage Textile collection. The classic cream and gold combination was understated, perfectly complimenting the minimal air of her and Siddharth’s ceremony. A second set of wedding photos shared earlier today, featured Aditi significantly switch it up in an all-red ensemble, also from the house of Saa. What significantly stood out was the block red frame, balanced out the full face and head of jewellery and the statement embroidered border on the lehenga. Just right. NayantharaFor her wedding to the love of her life, Tamil director Vignesh Shivan, lady superstar Nayanthara turned bride in a custom vermillion saree from Monica and Karishma’s Jade. The tone-on-tone embroidery on the saree was inspired the carvings of the temples of Hoysala. Goddess Lakshmi motifs stood embroidered on the sleeves of the conservative blouse as bajubandh. The soft vermillion veil and the satlada haar is what stole the show. Priyanka Chopra JonasPriyanka Chopra’s journey to officially becoming Priyanka Chopra Jonas was a big one. The larger-than-life East meets West events made sure that absolutely no one missed the sartorial drama. Another Saa moment for the books, the ballgown adjacent lehenga took 110 embroiderers 3,720 hours to make, with breathtaking details like hand-cut organza flowers, French knots in silk floss and layers of threadwork. Additionally, the wa band of the ensemble was personalised with Nick Jonas and her parents’ names. Shibani DandekarUber cool and chic was the overall vibe as Shibani Dandekar and Farhan Akhtar made things official. The second Jade Monica and Karishma piece in this l, the corseted couture number with a beige base and strong red floral motifs, made for an extremely refreshing take on the bridal aesthetic. The soft yet dramatic tulle veil sealed the deal. Special mention: Deepika PadukoneJust a glimpse of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s wedding video will tell you how heavily gold-coded their Lake Como wedding was. And Deepika embraced multiple changes through the course of her wedding festivities the Italian lakeside. For her Sindhi pheras however, she let her stacked jewellery do all the talking as she opted for a deep-red Saasachi lehenga, sparsely embroidered with minimal gold accents. Balance. So do you concede to all-red supremacy?
