Lulu celebrate Bridal Boutique

I got a call from a close friend of mine, asking me to accompany her for her wedding shopping. Saying yes to it, we went to newly opened Lulu mall, which has a lot of wedding shopping preferences. As we entered, we saw a store with mannequins’ draped in bridal saris and exotic lachas that looked out of this world. We immediately recalled fairy tale fantasies we had as children about marriage and the wedding wardrobe.

Lulu celebrate Bridal BoutiqueWe walked into ‘Lulu Celebrate’ the one and only bridal boutique that has a modern boutique atmosphere with a personalized and intimate approach by its staff. We were told that it is the only bridal wedding store in Kerala which showcases three floors of exclusive ethnic bridal collection with an array of unshared collections.

They have a long stretch of racks arranged with silk saris, a collection with pristine mauve’s  burned oranges, rust and pinks, that narrates the tale of a blossoming bachelorette turning into a married woman. One thing that made us feel so comfortable was the number of staff who attended to our needs, unlike the service you get at similar places.

Lulu celebrate Bridal BoutiqueAfter going through a section of saris, they showed us some beautifully crafted tissue uppada brocade Kanchipuram saries, Kanchipuram tissue brocade with bawanchi border and Kanchipuram tissue brocade with golden and silver zeri that exhibited the artistry of weavers who have added to its weft and waft. Inspired by the blushing excitement of brides-to-be, their service sounded to us to be truly genuine when we were told that they have the service of customized weaving of Kanchipuram saris which on order would take say two months.

In the meanwhile as we were trying out the saris, we saw customers trying out wedding gowns. The gowns looked beautiful with crystals, silver embellishments and designs. But as my friend had no plans of wearing a gown for her wedding, we didn’t get into details.

Here, prospective brides also stands to have a chance to get confused whether to go in for the most attractive thick stoned heavy embroidered designer saris or lachas stuck to curves with stunning cuts. Most of the designer saris come in net, chiffon or crepe silk fabric with zardosi work, embroidery or embellishments, with pearl or high quality sequences. They had some amazingly pretty bridal lacha stitched in raw silk and net fabrics, designed with perfect fitted fish cut skirts heavy with zardosi work, coloured stones and French knot designs. Prior to seeing it here, we had seen such intricate works only when we attended high-end North Indian weddings.

Lulu celebrate Bridal BoutiqueHave you heard of ‘Jalabiya’? It’s only after coming to ‘Celebrate’ we heard of this exclusive edition of bridal wear, similar to a lacha worn by Arabic brides. The only difference being its heavily embroidered knee-length top that falls below the knee, covering three fourth of the skirt, exposing the flares at the bottom lavishly worked with embellishments. The signature designs at ‘Celebrate’ exude panache that is synonymous to the enigmatic appearance of a Mughal bride.

The 3 hour 20 minute journey through saris and lachas was a mind-blowing experience for us and so would it be for any bride-to-be who has been hunting for a bridal fashion station.
