Brides and guests alike everyone seems to be wanting one for themselves and the options are endless. Can we take a look at what caught our eye in recent times? A Kanjeevaram saree with its traditional border and pallu, with pen Kalamkari artists spending days over a single saree to get its perfect color and hue. Not just the color but the concepts that they come out with! Breathtaking!

We love the story representation and the florals all the same. Each saree is unique as it is hand done by artists and this makes the end product all the more special.

This bride chose a Kanchi kalamkari half saree for her mehendi ceremony. The wide border, the border on the blouse, and the contrast dupatta that elevates the pen kalamkari design, we give this look a 100%.

Want to take a Kanchi kalamkari lehenga look one notch up? Add a patan patola dupatta to it and see how the prints speak to you so well!!
A few things that you need to think of before you customize your Kanchi Kalamkari:
- The color might sometime change since natural dyes are used on pure silk.
- In terms of the art, since it is drawn by hand there might be a small change if you are ordering multiples.
So for which ceremony have you planned this royal fusion?
