They’re no longer picked from a standard wedding catalogue. In 2025, couples are mixing things up. They want soft tones that feel romantic, bold shades that reflect their personalities, and sometimes, even colours that surprise everyone in the best way. So if you’re planning your big day this year, here's a look at the colour combos couples just can’t stop talking about.
This one’s soft, elegant, and never too much. You’ll see blush pink in everything — from the bride’s lehenga to the floral setup. Ivory keeps the vibe clean and adds balance. Together, they create that dreamy look people associate with fairytale weddings. Think morning pheras, open-air mandaps, and lots of sunlight filtering through sheer curtains.
Green has always been part of Indian weddings, but this version is a little different. It’s deeper, moodier — and when paired with champagne, it becomes truly royal. This duo works especially well for night functions or receptions. Brides are going for green velvet lehengas, while decorators are mixing champagne-toned drapes with gold details that sparkle just enough.
Lavender wasn’t even in the wedding picture a few years ago. But now? It’s everywhere. Add silver, and the whole thing looks very upscale without being loud. Couples are loving this combo for sangeets or engagement parties. Picture fairy lights, metallic tableware, and lavender orchids mixed with soft grey linens. It feels like a gentle party under the stars.
You probably didn’t expect mustard and burnt orange to make it to a wedding list, right? But once you see this combo in natural light, it makes total sense. It’s vibrant, rooted in Indian culture, and honestly, perfect for haldis or outdoor functions. The best part? It photographs like a dream. No filters needed.
This one’s subtle. It doesn’t scream for attention, but it holds its ground. Sage green brings in a calm, almost spa-like energy, and dusty rose adds warmth. Brides who love Pinterest boards full of pampas grass, wooden decor, and hand-dyed fabrics will love this. It’s ideal for eco-conscious setups or smaller, close-knit ceremonies.
This combo isn’t new. But it’s still here for a reason. Royal blue stands tall, and when you throw antique gold into the mix, it turns into full-blown royalty. The twist in 2025? The finishes are less glossy and more matte. You’ll see velvet backdrops, gold embroidery that doesn’t blind your guests, and outfits that look expensive but not overdone.
Planning a beach wedding? Or something by the pool? Peach and mint should be on your list. They’re playful, bright, and super photogenic. Mehendis with pastel umbrellas, mint mojitos, bridesmaids in flowy peach outfits — you get the vibe. It’s light-hearted and breezy, just like the best kind of celebrations.
This pairing is for couples who love a bit of drama, but the good kind. Burgundy brings depth and passion, while blush softens it just enough. It’s romantic without being cheesy. Ideal for winter weddings or candle-lit receptions, this combo is all about rich fabrics, mood lighting, and gorgeous contrasts in every photo.
Grey? At a wedding? Surprisingly, yes. And when you add marigold — that bright, festive yellow — the combo just works. It’s not everyone’s first thought, but it’s one of those colour pairings that looks super polished. You’ll see this in wedding invites, groomswear, or even in the way flowers are arranged on the stage.
We had to include red. But 2025’s version of red isn’t heavy and loud — it’s more thoughtful. Paired with ivory, it’s still traditional but has a modern softness to it. Brides are choosing ivory lehengas with tiny red details. Stages are being done up with sheer ivory drapes and red roses, not giant glittery backdrops. It's all about balance.
Let’s be honest — choosing colours can get overwhelming. Pinterest is full of pretty things, but your wedding needs to feel like you. So start with what you love — maybe a dress, a flower, a city. Then work backwards. Mix and match until something clicks. The good news? There are no wrong answers anymore.
When the colours feel right, everything else falls into place. Your outfits, your invites, the decor — it all tells a cohesive story. People might forget what song played at your sangeet, but they’ll remember how your wedding felt. And colours are a big part of that feeling.
FAQs: Colour Combinations for Indian Weddings in 2025
1. How do I choose a wedding colour combination that feels unique but still traditional?
Start with colours that speak to your personal story — maybe a shade from your childhood home or your partner’s favourite flower. Then layer in traditional elements like marigold, red, or gold to balance modernity with culture.
2. Which colour combinations work best for summer weddings in India?
Lighter palettes like peach and mint, blush pink with ivory, or lavender with silver are ideal. They reflect sunlight beautifully and keep the vibe cool and fresh.
3. What are the trending colours for bridal lehengas in 2025?
Aside from the timeless red, brides are loving emerald green, dusty rose, lavender, and even ivory with bold accents. The shift is toward softer, more personal shades.
4. Can I mix more than two colours in my wedding palette?
Absolutely. In fact, 2025 is all about layering tones. Just make sure the colours don’t compete. Pair bold shades with neutrals for a balanced, cohesive look.
5. Are pastel colours still in trend, or are they fading out?
Pastels aren’t going anywhere. But now, they’re being mixed with unexpected earthy tones like mustard, sage, or dusty maroon to give them more depth and personality.
6. How can I incorporate my wedding colour theme without going overboard?
Use the chosen colours in touches — like your invitations, stage drapes, flowers, and outfits. You don’t need to paint the whole wedding in one palette; subtle hints go a long way.
7. What’s the best colour combo for an eco-friendly wedding theme?
Sage green with dusty rose or ivory with earthy browns are great options. These colours look great with natural décor like jute, wood, and wildflowers.
8. Which colour themes work best for destination or beach weddings?
Soft tones like peach and mint, coral with white, or sky blue with sand-inspired neutrals give that breezy beach feel while keeping things elegant.
9. Is it okay to skip traditional red completely in an Indian wedding?
Yes, it’s totally okay! Many modern brides are choosing pinks, greens, or even whites. If red doesn’t feel like you, don’t feel pressured to include it. Your wedding should reflect your taste, not just tradition.
