‘Banarasi silk tissue brocades are detailed with ghungroo, zardosi, mirror, and polki work, paired with a handcrafted Phulkari dupatta that brings a layered sense of culture and heritage. Honouring individuality and the spirit of celebration through a coming together of tradition, warmth, and understated opulence.’
Anshula shares pictures and writes, ‘Our wedding celebrations began with a Mata Ki Chowki lovingly hosted by Rohan’s family.
‘Wearing a Phulkari dupatta felt especially meaningful for the occasion. Deeply rooted in Punjabi tradition, it is a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and blessings passed down through generations of women.
For Punjabi brides, Phulkari has long been part of life’s most meaningful milestones, and I couldn’t think of a more fitting way to begin this new chapter with Ro.
