"My mom understands me perfectly. I love colour and I didn’t want it to be heavy. So we went to Ekaya Defence Colony for handwoven fabric from Varanasi for the lehenga and my mom designed the border. Rohit Bal★ 5 designed the blouse and lehenga. Roliana by Roli and designed by Janavi provided the handwoven Banarasi dupatta."

"My wedding lehenga was by Bhumika Sharma Official. My lehenga was well in the theme and I didn’t want a very heavy one. I carefully chose the four elements of the outfit so that I can mix and match them and actually end up using them later."

"Wearing my own design at my wedding felt nothing short of a dream come true. It was about going back to my Indian roots but showcasing it in a modern way. But most importantly, I could wear my outfit separately too in the future." Read how Vihal designed her wedding lehenga in the post here."
