6 Iconic Manish Malhotra Brides and Their Stunning Wedding Lehengas

Bride Gaisu Bhasin opted for a ruby red French velvet lehenga, featuring bold window motifs and floral artwork inserts. The opulent ensemble has been hand embroidered in the traditional technique of mukesh or badla work, wherein a fine, flattened metal ribbon is used to intricately embroider the fabric. To add a signature Manish Malhotra touch to the outfit, the badla embroidery has been raised to create a three-dimensional effect, further embellished with pure Swarovski stones and crystals, and a dash of metallic sequins.

Such a piece—showcasing skilled craftsmanship and endless hours of work—can take between 4500 to 5000 man hours to curate to perfection. The entire process of making a garment of such magnitude—in this case with a trail of over 6 feet!—has to be scrutinized and executed carefully, from start to finish.

Bride Anisa Mendiratta has donned a silver-grey lehenga set with Kashmiri thread-work embroidery, highlighting floral cascading motifs. The elaborate fish scale trail has been further embroidered in elegant sequins, pearls and crystals. The gorgeous lehenga is paired with a delicate scalloped tassel blouse embroidered in pearls, crystals and bugle beads; and a dupatta featuring signature Manish Malhotra tassels on the ends.
