Black is a color that never really goes out of fashion, but for lehengas, black has never been a primary choice until now. As people don’t prefer to wear black at weddings, most black lehengas are reserved for cocktail nights, family functions and black-tie events. But black has become chicer than ever this year, since all top fashion designers have black lehengas in their collections. Black paired with a highlight color or metallic is one of the latest lehenga colors this year.

Looking for a simple lehenga colour combination for 2019? Black with red and silver embellishments is your answer! This classic palette has become one of the most sought after designer lehenga color combinations this year, all thanks to Instagram’s desi trends & designers like Manish Malhotra!

Nude

Nude color has been extremely trendy, all thanks to Kylie Jenner and the Kardashians, for like two to three years now. As pastels slowly make their way into Indian fashion designs, we’re seeing shades like peach, blush, nude and ash as some of this year’s latest lehenga colors in fashion. Blush nude is a shade that has the slightest pinkish tinge, making it suitable for the Indian skin tone, and that’s what is trending the most right now.

We also saw different shades of nude among the 2019 lehenga trends. Try ash nude, pecan, peachy nude and pale pecan. Both gold and silver embellishments go with nude color lehengas.  You can also try unique lehenga color combinations like nude with sky blue or nude with red.

Blush Pink

When it comes to the wedding season or any other desi occasion, the first color choice that comes to mind is pink. Shade of pink always look trendy and sexy, no matter what your skin tone is. In fact, this year we’re even seeing this light shade as one of the lehenga colors for night weddings.

Not a bright color person? Then blush pink is for you! It’s one of the most feminine and elegant shades, and never really goes out of fashion. Even though light pinks are very spring-summery shades, this year, we’re gonna be seeing blush even in the winter season.

We spotted shades of blush like coral, primrose, peach, pale ballet pink, ash pink and warm lemonade on the runways as some of the latest lehenga colors. Blush is a great choice for a small engagement party, farewell, cousin’s wedding, pre-wedding shoot or even an anniversary function.

Dove Grey

Grey is considered a dull choice by many at Indian weddings, but in 2019, it’s become one of the hottest designer lehenga colors. So many top Indian fashion designers have grey lehengas in their collections, particularly dove grey. Add other chic elements like fur, illusion neck, applique or flounce and you got yourself a designer lehenga!

Lilac and light grey is definitely one of the top color combinations we’re seeing in Falguni & Shane Peacock’s latest collection for 2019. Other than that, also try black, white and grey, which is a designer lehenga color combination we’re seeing in Manish Malhotra’s 2019 collection.

Gold

Gold is synonymous with royalty, cultural history and traditions. Whether it’s a wedding or religious ceremony, gold is considered very auspicious. It is one of the most recognizable parts of our culture and has also been the top choice for most women as a must-have in their wardrobe, especially for brides. That’s why this is also one of the hottest bridal lehenga colors for 2019.

If you’re newly married, and are looking for good lehenga colors to wear to your BFF’s wedding or brother’s reception, look no further than gold. In 2019, avoid the very yellow-y bright gold. It’s all about subtlety and fresh new shades this year. Go for shades like burnt gold, bronze, pale gold, flax and amber, which are some of the latest lehenga colors.

Ivory

Ivory is super trendy this year. We saw lehengas in shades of off-white, eggshell, chiffon, blush white, ivory, bone and antique white, paired with uniquely designed dupattas on the runways of so many top designers. This is a very versatile color, perfect for both daytime family events and weddings.

Since ivory and white can be so dull and yet so statement-making, go for full-on embellishments to stand out. Try gold, pewter, bronze or silver embellishments on it. You can also try pairings like petal pink, midnight blue, maroon or red on ivory. If you want something more plain, go for tone on tone threadwork, or a fancy choli over plain ivory lehenga. Since embellished choli and plain lehenga are one of 2019’s simple lehenga trends.

Sky Blue

Blue is always a special color and is associated with freedom and coolness. Blue has always been a favorite among men for its vibrant and classy look. But it’s also the top choice for bridesmaids and college farewell functions, small festivals like Rakshabandhan, etc. Some shade of blue or the other is always in, whether it’s in sarees, lehengas or western clothing.

Both powder and sky blue can feel absolutely gorgeous, and now is the perf time to wear them. Sky blue with subtle gold border, crystal or zari work is very in right now. We saw lots of different shades of sky blue in many shows of the India Couture Week, like baby blue, powder blue, cerulean and azure. Sky blue lehengas can be paired with matching blouses. If you want a simple look, then go for this color trend with a soft rose pink makeup look.

It seems like this year will be all about finding new shades of green. All top Indian designers are coming out with a unique shade. We saw shades like pistachio, lime green, fern, jade, mint, teal, olive and even seaweed.

We are seeing so many designer lehenga color combinations in green for 2019. Sabyasachi has included a whole line of green shaded lehengas, both in his bridal wear and wedding guest wear collections. Green is one of the most unique colors and not everyone can pull it off. Rest assured, it’s a color no one else will be wearing at the party, so it’ll make your unique lehenga stand out! It’s a great option to wear to sangeet functions, post-wedding photo-shoots and garden parties.

Green and gold is an obvious choice, which we’re seeing in latest shades like forest green and pine. Contrast pairings like light shades of green with maroon, and darker shades with coral red are very trendy. Try unique pairings like lime green with peach for day weddings. Also try lehengas that combine diferent shades of grey like seaweed, forest and olive together.

Pale Lilac Pastels

Bright colors have always been the go-to options for Indian weddings and festivities. But 2019 is different. As we usher in the new decade, it’s all about pastels, ivories and nudes. If you’re going for a chic and stylish look, pastels are a great idea. Lilac is my mom’s fave color, and I’m sure many other women will share her passion for this feminine hue! And lilacs are among 2019’s latest lehenga colors.

Wear this to Diwali, fashion shows or family parties. We’re even seeing lilac among the wedding lehenga trends 2019, and it’s also a great color for your engagement or reception.
