Bridalwear in India has always been delightfully elaborate—and exquisite—for as long as one can remember. From ornate lehengas and ghararas in the Mughal era, to the magnificent Rajputana ghagra cholis and sarees—women’s outfits, across eras and generations, have invariably stood out for their tasteful luxury, artistry, and meticulous craftsmanship—all made on luxurious silks, velvets, and brocades, intricately embellished with real gold, fine jewels, precious threads, and more.
Today, this lavishness of the royals has seeped into ensembles made for special occasions, especially weddings. Except, while the outfits do come soaked in the dazzling, yesteryear opulence, they also feature a present-day touch to them—evolving into a stunning blend of vintage and new. Traditional embroideries and craftsmanship are being married with new-age embellishments and contemporary silhouettes, in avant-garde designs and rich fabrics. And one brand doing this immaculately is Delhi Vintage Co.
Blending India’s rich, glorious past with modern aesthetics and a global appeal, the label creates works of art that are for the bride who isn’t scared to experiment. Using quaint textiles and classical embroidery techniques, the label crafts pieces that are one-of-a-kind to cater to all your regal bridal whims. Imagine luxe velvets, hand-woven organzas, and molten tissues, adorned with intricate thread and zardozi work. Delicate yet powerful, whimsical but fierce, these are modern heirlooms-in-making that deserve to be passed on from generation to generation.
