Dilnashin Champagne Gold Lehenga Choli for Nikkah and Reception

Dilnashin is a champagne gold lehenga choli from our Vyah Diyan Tyaariyan collection. It is made entirely in net and hand-embellished with dabka, naqshi, sequins, pearls and beadwork. The colour makes it one of the most flexible pieces in the collection: soft enough for a nikkah, rich enough for a reception.

The three pieces

Choli

The choli has a sweetheart neckline and a structured fit, worked with beadwork, pearls, sequins and traditional embroidery. It can be made to your measurements.

Lehenga

The lehenga is full-flared and richly worked with dabka, naqshi, sequins, pearls and beadwork. Naqshi is small faceted metal work that catches the light; on champagne gold it gives a warm, even shimmer rather than a hard shine.

Dupatta

The net dupatta is finished with heavily embellished borders in dabka, naqshi, pearls and sequins, and drapes softly over the head or shoulder.

Champagne gold across the functions

Champagne gold sits between ivory and gold, which is why it moves easily between functions. For a nikkah it reads soft and traditional; under reception lighting the dabka and naqshi bring out its warmth. It suits brides who want one outfit to carry a combined nikkah and reception, or a lighter alternative to red. For how to plan the full wedding wardrobe, see our guide to dresses for each wedding function, and for more nikkah options, our nikkah dresses guide.

Styling Dilnashin

• Jewellery: gold polki or kundan for the reception; pearls or a fine diamond set for the nikkah.
• Makeup: warm bronze or nude tones with a soft gold highlight.
• Hair: a low bun with fresh flowers, or soft waves with the dupatta on the shoulder.
• Accent colour: a contrast dupatta in blush or mint adds colour without losing the soft look.

FAQs

Is Dilnashin suitable for a nikkah?

Yes. The champagne gold palette and the detailed choli suit a nikkah, and the outfit carries on well into a reception the same day.

Can Dilnashin be worn for the barat?

It can, for a bride who prefers a light colour to red. It is worked heavily enough to look bridal on stage.

What is naqshi?

Small pieces of faceted metal stitched onto the fabric. They give a fine, light-catching shimmer.
