Silk and Sparkle Blog

For the longest time silk has been the primary choice of any bride for her wedding dress. Over the last few years contemporary lehengas have taken over silk sarees or silk lehengas. However, silk lehengas are back. Not just that they are becoming popular with modern brides. 

In this blog, we’ll discuss why custom-designed silk lehengas are becoming a more popular choice over ready-made heavily embroidered lehengas. 

• Lightweight and easy to carry

Unlike conventional ready-made lehengas, silk bridal lehengas are light in weight. They are super easy to put on and stroll around in them. With custom designing, it’s up to you how many layers of can-can you want to have. Since the silk fabric is lighter you anyway do not need much stuffing inside for the lehenga to look voluminous. 

 

• Super convenient to store

Due to their lightweight nature silk lehengas do not require much space. You can get detachable can-can lining hence, the lehenga would not take up more space than two silk sarees would. They require the same storing treatment that silk sarees require and we Indian women are born with that skill set.

 

• Long-lasting

Just like silk sarees, silk lehengas also stay for decades, if stored well. Get the lehenga dry cleaned well and take the help of butter paper in between the fold and seal in a saree or the lehenga bag. Unlike the conventional lehenga, the zari work doesn’t go black with time. You do not need to worry about the cut-dana work coming off, or sequins fading. 

 

 

• You can twirl and stroll around freely

One of the biggest challenges faced while donning heavily embellished lehengas is restricted movement. It’s every bride’s once-in-a-lifetime day. No woman would want to hold herself back from enjoying every moment. Heavy and restrictive lehengas drag the fun out of the entire ceremony. With Silk lehengas, you have the liberty to move around freely and enjoy every moment of your D-day.

 

• Skin-friendly

Silk is the most skin-friendly fabric as it’s not at all synthetic. It’s an all-natural fabric. You must have heard from most brides that they got rashes from their wedding lehenga. Either the embroidery bothered the skin or the fabric was itchy. Considering that a wedding outfit is something that you wear for hours till you bidai, it’s only essential to choose the right fabric that suits your skin because no woman would want the most important day of her life to turn into a nightmare for her. 

 

• Tailor-made to your requirements

One of the downsides of wearing a ready-made conventional lehenga is the fabric. While with custom-designed silk lehenga you are not just getting to choose the silk of your choice but also the colour and pattern. You get it tailor-made to your fit and size. 

 

• You look regal

There’s a reason why royals used to wear silk dresses. Silk looks regal and sleek be it organza, tassar, banarasi or kanjivaram. The touch of golden zari work brings out the best in silk fabric.
