That said, a wedding lehenga by Anju Modi is the dream of many brides-to-be.

Her creations are a narration of Indian tradition imagined with nuances of contemporary innovation. Her latest lineup- ‘Mir’ is a timeless bridal repertoire that borrows inspiration from the ageless beauty of ancient Indian Maharanis.’ The impeccable grace of Rani Usha Devi of Jodhpur and the whimsical details on Nawab Begum Sajida Sultan’s ensemble inspire the opulent silhouettes and antique embroidery. Imbibing nostalgia of the imperial era, Anju Modi uses luxe jewel tones, exaggerated volumes and flora and fauna motifs to ornate the ensembles. 

If you’re planning your nuptials at a palatial venue, the collection is packed with quintessential grandiose that will create a lasting impression.
