For Indians, there is no bridal couture without high-shine elements and maximum bling.

This trend of every inch of bridal couture boasting of pearl, sequin, and other precious stone embellishments is our favorite from the list.

6. Peplums Please
Peplums have always fascinated us with their flirty and feminine appeal, and the top celebrated Indian designers at ICW showcased the silhouette with their signature twist. While Jayanti Reddy paired heavily embroidered peplum blouses with luxury lehengas for a modern bridal look, finishing off with fringes, tassels and more. Others swapped the conventional topwear with peplums to create interesting Indo-Western styles such as peplum and gharara sets.

Pearls emerged as the season’s most loved embellishment that elevated couture with their sophisticated luxury. The designer reinterpreted this classic detail in a more modern and refreshing way. We came across corsets dripping in pearls, encrusted bridal lehengas, and blouses shimmering with pearl mosaics. The trend yet again was a testament to the fact that pearls are no longer looked up as an accent but rather as a statement.
