Komal Sandhu and Tanveer Singh wanted understated yet opulent attire for their recent nuptials. After a few consultations at our atelier, Komal chose an olive-grey raw silk lehenga. The hand-crafted skirt features a majestic array of floral bursts and resplendent peacocks, derived from a vintage 19th century brocade textile and rendered using meticulous kasab and reshamaari embroidery. The lehenga was paired with a patchwork embroidered kurti and a hand-woven zari dupatta from Benaras, that is layered with an intricate handcrafted bandhej pattern and hand-sewn textured sequins. The look was finished off with a cinnamon tulle dupatta with intricate marodi embroidery.

Tanveer’s pistachio green silk robe was hand-crafted with traditional Varq ka Kaam motifs that were interspersed with zardozi and marodi embroidery rendered using dabka and Kashmiri tilla . The looks hearken back to the erstwhile royals of undivided-Punjab complete with an embroidered Kamarbandh and Patka. It was layered with a textured chanderi silk angrakha and a silk churidar.
