Bridal Outfit Ideas: 9 On-Screen Bollywood Wedding Ensembles That You Can Take Inspiration From

From hairstyles to outfits—Bollywood has played a huge role in inspiring fashion trends. Remember Kajol’s maroon jumpsuit from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai? Or Aamir Khan’s flashy leather pants in Dil Chahta Hai? These outfits were a huge rage after the movies released, and the looks were imitated by many. Bollywood is also unapologetically extra when it comes to weddings—be it the actress’ emotions or their bridal outfits—and we love it! Over the years, we have seen some fabulous, extravagant bridal outfits on screen that have been etched in our memories.

Are you a bride-to-be who is looking for bridal outfit inspiration? Check out these stunning wedding outfits that Bollywood actresses wore on-screen!

Janhvi Kapoor’s Bridal Lehenga In Roohi

This red lehenga that Janhvi Kapoor was seen wearing in Roohi was designed by Manish Malhotra. The lehenga features gold gota patti in stripes and geometric patterns all over the blouse and the voluminous skirt, along with some zardozi work. She paired the bridal outfit with elaborate traditional jewellery, completing the bridal look.

Anushka Sharma’s Nikaah Look In Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

If an all-red bridal outfit isn’t what you had in mind, this lehenga worn by Anushka Sharma by Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will appeal to you. In the film, Anushka played the role of Alizeh, a Muslim bride, and her bridal outfit looked perfect for the occasion! Created by Manish Malhotra, the subtle pink coloured blouse was heavily embroidered, and it provided a stark contrast to the bright red skirt, which added a pop of colour to the entire outfit. Fun fact: Did you know her outfit weighed 17 kg?! 

Katrina Kaif’s White Gown In Bharat

Katrina Kaif was seen in this gorgeous white bridal gown in a Catholic wedding sequence in the film Bharat. This outfit, designed by Ashley Rebello, is made of beautiful sheer fabric and lace. The resulting silhouette and flow of the gown are simply beautiful!

Kangana Ranaut’s Bridal Outfit In Tanu Weds Manu Returns

While red may be the conventional choice for bridal outfits, you can also opt for something unconventional like this bottle green coloured bridal lehenga that Kangana Ranaut was seen wearing in Tanu Weds Manu Returns. The outfit goes well with Kangana’s character in the film, and also stands out due to its unusual yet striking colour.

Preity Zinta’s Bridal Outfit In Veer Zaara

When Veer Zaara released in 2004, wearing bridal outfits in unconventional colours was not in trend. However, Preity Zinta ditched the red and opted for a white bridal outfit in Veer Zaara, which later paved the way for people opting for unconventional colours for their wedding outfits. Preity looked stunning in this white bridal gharara with purple, and golden embroidered border.  

Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Modern Outfit In Veere Di Wedding

We loved Kareena Kapoor Khan’s modern bridal look in Veere Di Wedding! Designed by Abu Jaani and Sandeep Khosla, the white and gold outfit consisted of an off-shoulder blouse, with pearl fringes, giving the entire bridal outfit a contemporary look. Did you notice the creeper-like dupatta? It may not be for everyone, but Kareena carries it with great panache.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan In Jodhaa Akbar

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s outfit from Jodhaa Akbar is an excellent choice for those who wish to opt for a traditional lehenga that exudes princess-y vibes. The intricate embroidery on the outfit gave it royal vibes, while the heavy jewellery elevated the regal look.

Anushka Sharma’s Bridal Outfit In Sultan

Anushka Sharma has donned some beautiful bridal outfits in films. While her bridal outfit in Sultan didn’t garner a lot of hype back then, this bridal outfit deserves your attention too! Anushka looked ethereal in the ivory bridal outfit in Sultan. It featured chikankari and zardozi work. The gotta work dupatta, lined with golden fringes adds to the beauty of this outfit.

Kalki Koechlin’s Bridal Lehenga in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Here’s another excellent option for the modern bride-to-be! This Sabyasachi lehenga features a sexy red velvet blouse, along with an intricately embroidered lehenga.  

All these lehengas are beautiful in their own right, and we hope these looks helped you choose the perfect bridal outfit that you’re looking for!
