A Light Burgundy Velvet Lehenga Choli for Nikkah, Mehndi, Baraat & Winter Weddings
Bazaar is a light burgundy lehenga choli by Waqas Shah, cut in Micro Velvet 9000 for cool-weather weddings. Fine floral and vine embroidery in metallic thread climbs the whole skirt, lit with small embellishments and touches of mirror work, so the velvet glows rather than shines. The lehenga ends in a wide, heavily worked border at the hem, and a matching ornate band frames the waist. The choli has a V neckline outlined in embroidery, elbow-length sleeves with a worked edge, and the same floral vines across the body. A sheer organza dupatta completes the three-piece set, scattered with florals and framed by a heavy four-sided border with fringed edges. Each piece is made to order in our Lahore atelier for brides and their families in Pakistan, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Europe.
How to Style Bazaar
Burgundy velvet takes warm gold beautifully. A bride can wear a layered gold or polki set with a matha patti, as in our shoot, and drape the organza dupatta over one shoulder for photos. For a nikkah, bring the dupatta over the head so the border frames the face. Family members can keep it lighter with jhumkas, a slim necklace and the dupatta across both arms. A deep berry or brick-red lip and gold khussas finish the look.
Bazaar — Quick Answers
What colour is Bazaar?
A light burgundy, a warm red with a soft wine undertone, worked in metallic thread. In evening light it reads close to a classic bridal red.
Which functions suit it best?
Nikkah, mehndi, walima and reception, and the baraat for a bride who prefers a lighter look than a full heavy bridal. Because it is velvet, it is happiest at winter and evening events.
Is it only for the bride?
No. A bride can wear it for her nikkah or mehndi, and a sister, cousin or bhabhi can wear it to the baraat or walima with lighter jewellery.
Will velvet be too warm?
It is ideal from November to February in Pakistan, and for indoor or winter weddings in the UK, Canada and Europe. For a daytime summer function outdoors, we would suggest one of our silk or chiffon designs instead.
What is it made of?
The lehenga and choli are Micro Velvet 9000, a soft, dense velvet with a rich fall. The dupatta is sheer organza.
What comes in the set?
Three pieces: the velvet lehenga, the velvet choli and the embroidered organza dupatta shown in the photos.
What embroidery is on the lehenga?
Floral and vine embroidery in metallic thread across the whole skirt, with small embellishments and mirror accents, a wide heavily worked border at the hem and an ornate band at the waist.
What are the neckline and sleeves like?
A V neckline edged with embroidery, and elbow-length sleeves finished with a worked border. Both can be adjusted when you order made to measure.
How is the dupatta finished?
Sheer organza with scattered floral motifs, a heavy embellished border on all four sides and fringed edges that move as you walk.
Can I order Bazaar from abroad?
Yes. Brides in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Europe order it online in sizes XS to XL or made to measure, with free tracked shipping. Prices show in your local currency, and our team helps with measurements on WhatsApp.
How much is it?
Rs.160,000.00 for the complete lehenga, choli and dupatta, with free tracked shipping worldwide. Prices show in your local currency; checkout is in Pakistani rupees (PKR).
How long does it take?
About 4 weeks to make in Lahore, then 2 to 5 days within Pakistan or 4 to 11 days internationally. If your date is close, message us on WhatsApp before ordering.
How should I care for velvet?
Dry clean only. Hang the lehenga rather than folding it tightly, steam lightly from the reverse to lift the pile, and store it in a cloth bag away from damp.
