Frequently Asked Questions
Can I request a specific shade of a color, like a deeper or lighter red, on a made-to-order piece?
Since pieces are made-to-order and shipped direct from India, there's often some room to discuss shade preferences with the designer. Confirm the exact details for a specific piece with our styling team before ordering.
Should my bridesmaids wear colors that match or complement my bridal outfit?
Either approach works. Some brides prefer bridesmaids in complementary or lighter shades from the same family, like blush against a red or gold bridal look, while others prefer more contrast. It comes down to what tells your particular color story best.
Does the fabric change how a color reads in photos?
Yes, generally. Structured fabrics like dupion silk tend to read as more solid and saturated, while sheer fabrics like organza and tissue let a color look softer and lighter. Worth factoring in if you have a specific photo mood in mind.
Can I combine two colors in one bridal outfit?
Many lehenga and saree styles already do this through a contrast blouse or dupatta. If a single color from the palette doesn't feel bold enough on its own, ask your stylist about dual-tone options.
Your Color Story
