A few decades ago, no one cared enough about Indian bridal couture. But the time has changed. Today, more and more people are interested in exploring the artistic side of wedding wear, i.e., wedding couture. Numerous factors have favoured the rise of Indian bridal couture in the last few decades.
The revival of Indian traditional crafts and embroidery techniques has been a game-changer in the popularity of wedding couture. The heritage craftsmanship and intricate detailing have become a symbol of uniqueness and opulence synonymous with couture.
Another crucial factor is the increased spending power of consumers. Weddings have become a high-budget affair with extravagant detailing, including bridal attire. Modern brides are investing in bespoke designer pieces, further fuelling the potential of bridal couture. They want the bridal attire to reflect their style and to achieve this they work closely with designers to create bridal couture incorporating personal elements such as certain motifs, colour schemes, or heirlooms.
Social media has also been crucial in promoting Indian wedding couture. Wedding blogs and online portals have made designer bridal couture more accessible to a global audience, further boosting the allure of Indian bridal fashion. Fashion weeks such as India Couture Week have also worked towards making Indian bridal couture more accessible to a vast audience, both domestically and internationally.
