#Dream wedding: Designer Kresha Bajaj picks 7 best wedding lehengas

Pratishtha Rana

We can all agree that wedding couture is an investment. And Bollywood’s favourite fashion designer Kresha Bajaj agrees. She wants every bride to own a luxurious, stunning lehenga. Introducing Kresha Bajaj’s special initiative Fairytale Funding – a simple, hassle-free EMI plan to purchase your dream lehenga without worrying about the immediate costs!

Fairytale Funding is a permanent feature on the couturier’s website and can be used by the brides or anyone who loves herself, a flattering outfit for special occasions. One can choose EMI plans of 3/6/9/12 months for an amount between Rs50,000 to Rs10 lakh.

KB bridalwear takes at least 3 to 6 months to make, given the kind of craftsmanship, detailing and ornamenting that goes into it, tells Bajaj. “It is slow, but a rewarding process. We make sure that one’s dream outfit is nothing short of exquisite, unique and timeless that will be a worthy investment to hand down for generations to come.”

For Bajaj, it indeed is overwhelming, yet satisfying to dress up a bride in an outfit designed by her. However, the challenge is that no two outfits should look the same and must define the distinct personality of the bride. She’s been a bride herself (in 2016) and has also dressed celebrities and influencers for their big day in her famous LoveStory lehengas.

Here’s a roundup of the top seven lehengas by Kresha Bajaj. Her personal favourites, she says, are the ones she designed for Shloka Ambani, Anjali Merchant and Samantha Prabhu!

This body-hugging ivory lehenga features a mermaid silhouette and is inspired by Kresha’s diving experience in Bahamas. The intricate hand embroidery and embellishing took about 21,000 hours to complete!
