Bridal Sarees Worked in Zari, Dabka and Salma Sitara

How to choose a bridal saree

Start with the function. Among the occasions shown for individual designs are baraat, engagement, walima and reception, so compare the occasion, colour and embroidery of the design you are considering. If the saree is for the walima, compare it with our other dresses for the walima.

Next, decide how much cover you want. Blouses range from sleeveless with a V neck, through half sleeves with a boat neck, to full sleeves with a high neck and a closed back. Sleeves or a higher neckline can often be added on request, depending on the design.

Fabric is another comparison point. Depending on the design, bridal sarees may use tissue silk, masuri, Banarsi or organza.

Then compare embroidery coverage. Depending on the design, work can include zari, salma sitara, dabka, nakshi, kora, cutdana or pearls, with sequins, beads, small stones, mirror work or tassels.

Some lehenga-saree designs use a flared, panelled skirt under the drape; details such as a cancan or trail depend on the design. Saree styles also suit the bride’s mother and bridesmaids. For more drapes, see our full saree range; for other looks, our guest outfits for Pakistani weddings.

Made to your measurements

Nothing is stitched until you order. Choose a standard size from XS to XL using our size guide, or Custom Size, stitched exactly to the measurements you send. After you order, our team contacts you for your full measurements; if you fall between two sizes, choose the larger one. To confirm what comes with a design (the blouse, the saree, any dupatta), ask us on WhatsApp before you order.

Bridal sarees can be fully customised, from the colour to the sleeves and neckline, depending on the design. Anything that adds fabric, embroidery or labour is priced and agreed with you before work starts.

If you were looking for an Indian wedding saree, note that ours are made in our own workshops in Pakistan, where we have made bridal wear since 2013; nothing is bought in from India or from other designers.

Bridal saree questions

Can I see my saree before it is sent?

Yes. While your saree is being made, you can ask us for progress photos and close-up videos of the embroidery, so you see the colour and the work before it leaves the workshop. Just ask us on WhatsApp.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes. Cancel within 24 hours for a full refund. After that, and before dispatch, 35% of the amount paid is deducted, and approved refunds go back to the payment method you used within up to 15 working days. Sarees cannot be returned or exchanged once delivered.
