How to Style a Maroon Lehenga for 2025 Brides
With this catalogue of maroon lehenga for weddings, you might have soaked in some inspiration. But what about styling it, right? We got on board Mayana Rajni, the Founder of The Story Brand, to give us insights on expert styling tips to make wearing a maroon ensemble a total head-turner for the crowd. Here’s what she has to say!
What styles of maroon lehenga are in trend this season of 2025?
Maroon is a timeless bridal colour, but in 2025, we’re seeing a fresh take on traditional lehengas with modern silhouettes and details:
- Minimalist lehengas with tone-on-tone embroidery, subtle sheen, and clean silhouettes are taking centre stage, perfect for brides who want elegance without excess.
- Flowy yet structured lehenga skirts with pleats or cascading ruffles create a statement look.
- Contemporary corset-style blouses, one-shoulder blouses, and asymmetric cuts add an edgy yet refined touch to the classic lehenga.
Expert Styling Tips to Elevate a Maroon Lehenga for Wedding Functions
- Play with Draping Techniques: Try layering the dupatta across the arms like a cape or pleating it neatly at the waist for a structured yet effortless feel.
- Cinch It with a Statement Belt: An embellished belt adds structure and a contemporary touch to the bridal look.
- Layered Necklaces for a Regal Finish: A seven-layer necklace with a combination of chokers with long rani haar or a polki salad creates a striking impact.
- Accessorise Wisely: A passa (side headpiece), and hand harnesses (haath phool) add a unique old-world charm to a maroon lehenga.
What Blouse Styles Look Best with a Maroon Lehenga?
- Sheer Embroidered Full Sleeves: Perfect for a regal winter look, especially with delicate hand embroidery or scalloped edges.
- Dramatic Sleeves: Think structured puff sleeves or capes for a dramatic yet elegant appeal.
- Peplum Blouses for a Modern Twist: Adds a flattering silhouette and is a great choice for pre-wedding events or receptions.
- Backless or Deep-V blouses: For those who want a traditional look in the front but a bold surprise at the back.
What Kind of Makeup Pairs Best with a Maroon Lehenga?
A matte foundation with a soft highlighter keeps the look fresh without looking overly dewy or cakey. Avoid excessively bright red lips, as they can clash with the richness of maroon. A soft brown or black smokey eye enhances depth, while hints of gold or champagne shimmer add dimension.
FAQs about Maroon Lehengas
We are sure you are now inspired to adorn a maroon lehenga for the upcoming wedding season. But if you still have blazing questions on how to ace the art of wearing a maroon lehenga, Rajani gives you a detailed blueprint for it, answering some of the most commonly asked questions. Here's what she has to say:
Which fabric is best for a maroon lehenga?
The right fabric for a maroon lehenga would depend on the occasion, season, and personal preference. For a regal and structured look, velvet is a classic choice, exuding richness and depth. For a more lightweight and flowy appeal and something great to travel with, georgette and satin georgette work beautifully, offering comfort and movement. For something more traditional and luxurious, silk brocade or raw silk is elegant.
Which colour veil should I pick for a maroon lehenga?
- Matching Maroon: Creates a rich, monochrome look that exudes sophistication.
- Gold or Champagne: Adds a regal touch, perfect for a vintage aesthetic.
- Ivory or Beige: A subtle, elegant touch that balances the deep maroon tones, ideal for daytime or summer weddings.
What jewellery should I wear with a maroon lehenga?
The right jewellery can enhance the lehenga’s overall look:
- Gold Polki or Kundan jewellery: Timeless and regal, these pieces complement the richness of maroon and lend an Indian touch.
- Emerald or Ruby jewellery: Green emeralds contrast beautifully with maroon, while rubies enhance the warm tones.
- Diamond jewellery: For a modern and sophisticated look, diamonds offer a contemporary look.
How can I clean a heavily embroidered maroon lehenga?
A heavily embroidered maroon lehenga requires delicate care. Always opt for professional dry cleaning, especially silk, velvet, or embroidered pieces.
Can one wear a maroon lehenga for a summer wedding?
Most definitely! While maroon is traditionally associated with winter or evening weddings, it can be styled for summer with the right fabric and accessories. Maybe a lightweight fabric like georgette, organza, net, or chiffon instead of heavy velvet or brocade. Even the embroidery style could be lighter with minimal embellishments. The lehenga can be paired with a gold-toned dupatta to soften the look.
What are some alternatives to the traditional maroon lehenga?
There are many alternatives now, with most brides breaking away from traditional colours and experimenting with new ones. Emerald is a beautiful, deep tone in a nontraditional colour that looks regal. Dusty rose is soft and romantic, while ivory is fresh and offers a classic, elegant and chic look. Also, one could experiment with different silhouettes, like a draped skirt instead of a traditional lehenga or a beautiful and elegant draped sari with an additional veil for a dramatic look.
