Deepika Govind helps brides go for the gold

Nothing’s close to good enough when it’s your big day. Even the zardozi lehenga and the Jimmy Choo heels seem to fall devastatingly short. Admit it, what you need is pure gold.

Talented designer Deepika Govind’s limited edition set of bridal saris give you just that. Each sari contains 740 grams of gold lace and weighs in at above one kilo. Reviving the timeless and rich heritage of Mysore’s famous silk saris is this one-of-its-kind combination of gold jacquard woven into a fine flowy crepe silk.

The saris have been designed around four main traditional motifs — the lotus flower, the lily, the palmette and leaf scrolls. Each one takes over 20 hours to weave and is as exquisite and extraordinary as a piece of art. Adding to the brilliance is the ornate yet delicate crystal work that makes these saris sparkle with sophistication.

And as if that weren’t enough to get you interested, this season’s palette sure will. Coral, tangerine, chartreuse, antique moss, sea green and emerald are the unusual hues you get to choose from.

Because you’re not just any bride. You’re The Bride.
