Weddings are going full cinematic this season. From mehendi to reception, couples, families, and even guests are taking cues from Bollywood’s most memorable looks to bring a touch of drama and nostalgia to their celebrations. Whether you are channeling Umrao Jaan’s old-world charm, Deepika’s disco glam, or Rocky’s Durga Puja flair, each event is now a stage and everyone has a starring role.
A tale as timeless as Umrao Jaan
Think rich fabrics, intricate embroidery and a palette that breathes old-world luxury. Rekha’s Umrao Jaan look continues to inspire wedding wardrobes, especially for pre-wedding functions like mehendi or sangeet. Go for shararas or anarkalis in rose, champagne or burnt gold. Add layered kundan jewellery, an ornate maang tikka and a sheer dupatta draped gracefully. For makeup, soft kohl-lined eyes and a deep lip bring that poetic charm alive. Perfect for brides, bridesmaids, or even a mother of the bride who loves vintage elegance.
Chandramukhi’s grandeur
Opulent, dramatic and unforgettable, Chandramukhi from Devdas defines the art of regal dressing. Her deep jewel tones and layered jewellery make perfect inspiration for reception nights or traditional family functions. Think velvet saris or lehengas in emerald, maroon or sapphire, paired with diamond chokers and bold jhumkas. A low bun with mogras and a red lip complete the look. It is a statement for anyone who wants to own the room with old-world glamour.
Deepika’s dazzling blue from Badtameez Dil
When it is time to dance the night away, Deepika Padukone’s iconic electric blue Manish Malhotra sari from Badtameez Dil is the moment. Ideal for cocktails or sangeet nights, this look pairs a sequined border sari with a strappy gold blouse. Add statement earrings and a sleek updo to recreate that effortless party glam. Whether you are the bride, a sister or a guest, this look turns any dance floor into your own Yash Raj set.
Alia’s dreamy bridal glow from Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani
Bajirao-inspired brilliance for grooms and guests
Ranveer Singh’s warrior-meets-royalty look in Bajirao Mastani continues to inspire men’s wedding wardrobes. Cream or beige sherwanis with gold detailing, paired with contrasting stoles in maroon or green, create a regal statement for grooms or groomsmen. Accessorise with layered pearl malas or subtle turbans for grandeur without overdoing it. Perfect for anyone who wants to look powerful yet poised.
Rocky’s Durga Puja flair
Ranveer Singh’s Durga Puja look from Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani brings festive energy with a bold, modern touch. A rich red kurta-dhoti set, layered gold necklaces and a statement brooch make for a standout sangeet or festive night outfit for grooms, brothers or even stylish fathers. It is confident, celebratory and unapologetically Indian.Bollywood is no longer just dictating bridal trends, it is shaping the entire wedding experience. From music playlists to outfit palettes, cinema’s influence now runs through every event and every ensemble. Because when it comes to weddings, everyone deserves their moment under the spotlight.
