The grandiose of Baraat

Go for a darker and richer color that matches the magnificent energy of a Baraat ceremony. The rich and dark red or maroon is associated with the festivities of this event. The opulence of a Barat is connected to the celebration of a union between two people. For guests, long kurta that is heavily embellished on the border, sleeves and neckline is preferred meanwhile the bride mostly goes for a darker red lehenga. Gold and dull gold jewelry is worn preferably by everyone.  Embellished with gold or silver Zari work, Bridal Lehenga is preferred in Maroon or Dark Red. Men usually prefer Sherwanis in darker colors with embellished turbans. The designer wear of a baraat goes well with the grandiose of it.

Get dressed for Walima Draped in Elegance

Walima is an elegant event and calls for everything pastel and light. The entire aesthetic of Walima Designer Wear revolves around being understated yet sophisticated. Pastel colors with beadwork and sequins are seen everywhere in a Walima. Walima Brides usually go for Ghararas or Saaree in pastel colors that are draped in beadwork, sequins and silver embellishments. For jewelry, mostly brides as well as guests go for elegant pearl jewelry. Men usually go for a tuxedo or a darker colored salwar kameez, as the theme of Walima is elegance wrapped up in subtle glamour.

For other ceremonies like the Nikah or family dinners
