Nothing says a classic Indian wedding much like a red ensemble for the bride. Traditionally, red is considered sacred and a symbol of prosperity. This makes a red bridal lehenga one that never goes out of style. Despite modern brides today choosing a variety of new hues, let’s admit it, a red ensemble personifies the real beauty of a bride.

Whether your preference is a contemporary drape, an Indo-Western silhouette or a traditional zari work lehenga, multi-brand luxury house Nikaza Asian Couture has something for every type of bride.
