What is in the Wedding Collection?

Every saree here is a handwoven silk chosen for wedding wear: rich zari borders and pallus for the main ceremony, and lighter silks for haldi, mehendi, sangeet and receptions. Each piece is handpicked from weaving clusters across India, and because handloom sarees are woven one at a time, many are one of a kind.

Choosing a wedding saree by weave

  • Kanjivaram: heavy mulberry silk from Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, with zari temple borders and a contrast pallu. The traditional choice for the wedding ceremony itself.
  • Banarasi katan: pure silk from Varanasi with jaal and kadhua motifs woven in zari. Rich and formal, ideal for the wedding day or reception.
  • Paithani: from Maharashtra, known for its tapestry-woven peacock and parrot pallu. An heirloom saree for Maharashtrian weddings.
  • Gadwal: from Telangana, with interlocked borders and pallu, often in contrast colours. Festive and structured.
  • Pochampally ikat: GI-tagged tie-and-dye silk from Telangana with geometric patterns. A graceful choice for family members and guests.
  • Uppada and Venkatagiri: light silks from Andhra Pradesh with jamdani-style zari motifs. Comfortable for long ceremonies and daytime functions.
  • Soft silk: pure silk with a fluid drape and lighter zari, easy to wear for many hours.

Which saree for which function?

Wedding ceremony

Kanjivaram, Banarasi or Paithani in red, maroon, magenta, gold or deep green, with a heavy zari pallu.

Haldi, mehendi and sangeet

Lighter silks such as Uppada, soft silk or Pochampally ikat in yellow, green, pink or bright contrasts.

Reception and evening functions

Jewel tones such as emerald, navy, purple or burgundy, or a tissue silk for a soft shimmer under lights.

Caring for a wedding silk

Dry clean only. Store each saree wrapped in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture, and refold it every few months so the zari does not crack along the folds. Do not spray perfume directly on silk or zari.
