A Look at the Star-Studded Celebrations that have Shaped Wedding Trends

When it comes to weddings that make headlines, nothing compares to the glitz and glamour of a Bollywood celebrity celebration. These aren't just weddings – they're full-blown productions that blend heritage with haute couture, centuries-old rituals with glorious aesthetics, and personal moments with public adoration.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the most iconic celebrity weddings in recent years and the trends they inspired.

Anushka Sharma & Virat Kohli: Tuscany’s Dreamiest Affair

Anushka and Virat’s intimate destination wedding in Borgo Finocchieto, Tuscany, set a new benchmark for modern Indian weddings. It took the world by storm, that’s for sure! With a floral, baby pink Sabyasachi lehenga, a serene forest-themed mandap, and minimalistic décor, their ceremony proved that elegance lies in simplicity. It is a wedding that has become the benchmark for many – even today.

Trend takeaway: Baby pink as a colour for your wedding lehenga! Intimate weddings in dreamy international locations became the new gold standard.

Deepika Padukone & Ranveer Singh: Dual Traditions, One Celebration

Held at the ethereal Villa del Balbianello in Lake Como, Deepika and Ranveer’s wedding honoured both Konkani and Sindhi traditions. Two wedding ceremonies, multiple receptions, and a royal wardrobe made this a blockbuster event.

Trend takeaway: Dual weddings that celebrate both sides of the family with equal grandeur became hugely popular after their nuptials. Their traditional, regal ensembles beautifully contrasted with the ethereal charm of Lake Como, creating a truly breathtaking visual spectacle!

Athiya Shetty & KL Rahul: The epitome of Understated Elegance

Held at Suniel Shetty’s Khandala farmhouse, the ceremony was an intimate affair that exuded warmth, privacy, and simplicity. The couple stayed true to their personalities, opting for soft pastel hues and minimal decor that allowed their love to take centre stage. Athiya’s blush-toned Anamika Khanna lehenga and Rahul’s ivory sherwani perfectly complemented the serene hillside setting, proving that quiet sophistication can be just as impactful as grand spectacle.

Trend Takeaway: The shift towards intimate, personality-driven weddings continues to grow — with couples favouring minimalist decor, meaningful locations, and custom looks that reflect who they are, rather than following traditional grandeur.

Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas: A Truly Global Wedding

Few weddings have had the global buzz that Priyanka and Nick’s multi-day extravaganza at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur did. From a Christian ceremony to a regal Hindu wedding, the couple embraced their cultural diversity in full style. From her striking, all red bridal lehenga to the dramatic 75-foot train of her white wedding gown, she truly embraced the best of both worlds!

Trend takeaway: Fusion weddings with multicultural ceremonies and custom outfits became aspirational for global Indian couples. They set a standard of how you can do both – and, do them well!

Kiara Advani & Sidharth Malhotra: Royalty Meets Romance

Held at the stunning Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Kiara and Sidharth’s royal-yet-private wedding was the perfect mix of Bollywood chic and traditional charm. Kiara’s soft rose Manish Malhotra lehenga and the viral bridal entry video had social media in a frenzy.

Trend takeaway: Personal, emotional moments like heartfelt bridal entries and custom vows have now taken center stage. Making an entrance to a personal, meaningful song, and dancing to it, quickly became a heartfelt trend that became hard to miss!

Vicky Kaushal & Katrina Kaif: Secrecy and Style

This wedding was a masterclass in discretion and luxury. Hosted at Six Senses Fort Barwara, it was shrouded in secrecy until official photos were dropped online. From Katrina’s traditional red bridal look to the eco-conscious touches at the property they chose, it was a wedding full of substance and style.

Trend takeaway: Destination weddings in heritage Indian properties saw a surge, as did the appreciation for sustainability in wedding planning.

Alia Bhatt & Ranbir Kapoor: Intimate, Meaningful, and Modern

Alia and Ranbir broke away from the norm with an ultra-intimate ceremony at their Mumbai home, surrounded by close friends and family. Alia wore a dreamy ivory Sabyasachi sari, keeping her look minimal and fresh. Alia also wore her hair down, and chose an ivory saree that we saw her repeat a couple of years later. The simplicity and warmth of the celebration struck a chord with young, urban couples across the country.

Trend takeaway: Intimate home weddings are now seen as both chic and sentimental, offering a deeper emotional connect with close loved ones. A new normal was seen after this, with more and more brides leaving their hair open and choosing ivory for their bridal outfits! 

The Bollywood Effect on Indian Weddings

It’s no secret that Bollywood plays a massive role in shaping Indian wedding trends. From couture choices to floral setups, décor styles to drone photography – celebrity weddings are like Pinterest boards come to life. Planners, venues, and couples alike draw constant inspiration from these iconic celebrations.
