collection was for those dauntless and defiant brides, who leave no stone
unturned to standout on their special day. The collection focuses on raising
the bar for new-age brides and not for ones who strictly go for traditional
weddings. Today, brides don’t always want to carry tons of jewelry and heavy
outfits, preferring comfort over anything else. This collection has been made
particularly for beach and destination weddings. Instead of heavy lehengas and
blouses, Anshu has given lot of silhouettes and brallete choices. Put simply,
it was bridal wear without any rules. Instead of heavy wedding attires and
heavy embroidered lehengas, the modern bride is curating her own wedding
outfits. And this collection helps her do just that.

length jacket anarkalis, ruffle saris, tassel jackets, keyhole zipper anarkalis
and sari gowns. Inspired by the timeless beauty of the architecture of Jaipur,

was curated by Arti Surendranath.
