Megha says "My bridal outfits were all self-designed with references from google. The sangeet outfit and blouses for the sarees were designed by me through a lot of research and referencing. I bought all the fabric and got it tailor made to my measurements from Desire Boutique in Bangalore. Dilshad of Desire Boutique was very obliging and I couldn’t imagine anyone else putting up with and executing my specifications and detailing ideas,".  Lilac Love

Aakshi says " My Sangeet / Cocktails outfit was very unique. It was a Lucknavi chikankari lehenga that was self designed. I bought from KC fabrics in Lajpat. It was inspired by the Nizam era so it has an old worldly charm of royalty to it." Red Riding HoodÂ

Adithi says " I used my parent’s wedding and mum’s retro style as my inspiration.  Everything I picked had bright and earthy organic colours. My mother found some gorgeous material on a roadside store in Hyderabad and we used it to stitch my Sangeet lehenga with. It was simple, I loved it," Traditions On Cue

Leelu says “My wedding saris and blouses – they are all self-designed! My wedding blouse has the ‘Suryavanka’ (sun) and ‘Chandravanka’ (moon) motifs, work done with zardozi and stones. They matched the jewellery given by my grandmother. My Mehendi outfit was completely custom-made and self-designed too" Cape & Glory

Karishma says "For the Mehendi I decided to design the outfit myself down to the embroidery and fabric sourcing as well. I decided to go with ivory with hints of red and dull gold,".
