Move over red! This bride’s bold blue lehenga is officially the new wedding trend of 2026

Blue is officially having its main-character moment in bridal fashion, and we’re here for it.For years, wedding lehengas have lived in the safe zone – all shades of red, maroon, and pink ruling the mandap. Beautiful, yes. Predictable, also yes. But this bride decided she was done with “same old, same old” and walked in wearing a stunning blue lehenga instead… and completely stole the show.Meet Nandini Ghai, the bride who ditched the usual reds and went full royal in blue on her wedding day, and absolutely rocked it. Fashion creator Chahat Chaudhary couldn’t help celebrating the look, praising Nandini for choosing a colour almost no one else dares to wear on their big day.The lehenga, designed by Falguni Shane Peacock, is basically a dream in motion. Think intricate floral sequins, lotus motifs, delicate butti work, crystal tassels at the hem, and rich brocade detailing that makes the whole outfit glow. The deep blue paired with a matching, sweeping veil felt refreshing, like a cool breeze in a world of warm wedding palettes.Nandini styled it to perfection too. She went for a kundan necklace, matching earrings, maang tikka, white chooda stacked with kaliras, and even a white-gold nath. To top it off, she added soft blue and lavender flowers around her bun – tiny details, big impact.Chahat summed it up perfectly: this wasn’t just an outfit, it was a bold experiment that totally paid off. Blue as a bridal colour? Consider it officially endorsed.So yes, brides-to-be, take notes:If red and pink don’t feel like “you,” skip them. Wear the colour that makes you light up, even if it’s unexpected, even if it’s blue.Because this season, blue isn’t just a colour. It’s a statement.
