white saree with gold Kasavu border remains a staple for
most Kerala brides. It represents purity, simplicity, and
sacredness — making it a perfect fit for traditional Nair

3. Rich Reds & Deep
Maroons Make a
Comeback
This year has seen a strong revival of bold, rich colors like
deep maroon, brick red, rust, and wine, particularly in
Mantrakodi and Kanchipuram sarees. These shades bring a
sense of power, prosperity, and tradition to the bridal
ensemble. Christian and Hindu brides alike are embracing
these intense hues for their main wedding sarees or
reception looks, often pairing them with antique gold jewelry,
bold eyes, and traditional blouses for a regal finish.

4. Regal Jewel Tones in
Demand
Emerald green, sapphire blue, royal purple, and deep violet
are some of the most sought-after colors for modern Kerala
brides who want a luxurious, high-impact bridal look. These
jewel tones are especially popular for evening events and
receptions, where the lighting enhances the richness of the
fabric. When combined with zari work and contrast blouses,
they create a bridal aesthetic that is both bold and beautiful.

5. Pastel shades are a top choice for minimalist and millennial
brides, especially for day weddings or outdoor functions.
Blush pink, powder blue, lilac, peach, and mint green sarees
offer a soft, romantic vibe that works beautifully with floral
décor, light makeup, and pearl or pastel-colored jewelry.
These shades are ideal for brides who want to break away
from traditional colors while still keeping things elegant and
culturally rooted.

6. Color-blocked sarees and contrast borders are giving
traditional bridal sarees a fashionable edge. Combinations
like cream with maroon or navy borders, ivory with mustard
pallus, and gold with rani pink details are gaining popularity
for their ability to balance tradition and creativity. Brides are
also using contrast-colored blouses and accessories to
further enhance this look, making each outfit unique and
personalized.

7. For brides who love natural tones and rustic themes, earthy
shades like turmeric yellow, terracotta, burnt orange,
mustard, and copper brown are trending this year. These
colors look stunning against heritage venues and in open-air
wedding setups. They pair well with antique or oxidized
jewelry and offer a grounded, organic feel that still looks
festive and bridal — perfect for garden, beachside, or boho
weddings.
