Manzil Teal & Turquoise Velvet Lehenga Choli for Brides & Formal Evenings

Yes. Teal and turquoise have become a favourite alternative to classic mehndi green, and they look regal at a nikkah or walima too, without the heaviness of deep jewel tones. Browse more Green Mehndi Dresses.

It shines brightest at an evening walima, where the velvet and heavy jewellery come alive under night-time lights. It is just as lovely for a winter or evening nikkah, with the dupatta borders framing the face, and for an engagement, which calls for something rich but lighter than a barat look. At an indoor winter mehndi it gives classic green a fresh twist, though velvet is heavier to dance in. On barat night, it is a standout choice for the bride's sister or close family.

Yes. Pair it with a single choker and studs, let the dupatta fall over one shoulder, and it reads as a formal velvet lehenga for a winter wedding guest, an Eid dinner or a family reception. Sisters, close friends and bridesmaids often pick it for exactly that. Browse more in our Luxury Formal collection.

Yes, especially for the evening celebrations. It is a beautiful choice for the reception after the Anand Karaj, for the kurmai, and for a new bride's first Lohri, a winter bonfire night that is made for velvet. It also suits an indoor ladies sangeet or the chunni chadana, though its weight makes long hours of dancing tiring. On jaggo night, it is a lovely pick for the bride's sister or close family.

Yes. It is made for the reception, where many Hindu brides now step away from red into teal and jewel tones, and it is just as striking at the sagai or a cocktail night. A new bride's first Diwali or first Karva Chauth, both evening celebrations, are lovely occasions for it too. It works at an indoor winter sangeet or mehendi, though velvet feels heavy in daytime heat and through long hours of dancing. For the pheras, brides traditionally wear red, so on the wedding day Manzil is best kept for the bride's sister or close family.

The lehenga and choli are pure French velvet, an 80-gram weight with a soft, heavy fall. On the lehenga, tilla, aari, sequins and mirror pieces form a floral bel jaal. The dupatta is pure organza with a diamond-trellis jaal of its own.

All three pieces seen in the photos: the velvet lehenga, the velvet choli and the embroidered organza dupatta. Nothing is sold separately.

Velvet is warm, so it is happiest at winter weddings or in a well air-conditioned hall. For an outdoor summer mehndi, a raw silk or organza lehenga will be more comfortable.

Gold kundan, polki and jadau bring out the tilla, and emerald or green stones deepen the colour. Pearls soften the look for a daytime nikkah.

The full three-piece outfit (lehenga, choli and dupatta) is Rs.195,000.00, in any size from XXS to XL or made to your measurements, with free tracked shipping worldwide. Prices display in your local currency; payment at checkout is in Pakistani rupees (PKR).

Yes. Pick XXS to XL from the size chart, or choose Customize and send us your measurements.

Hang the lehenga on a padded hanger inside a breathable cotton bag; folding velvet under weight leaves crush marks in the pile. Steam lightly from the reverse and never iron the face. Dry clean only, with a cleaner who handles embellished bridal wear, and keep the organza dupatta folded in muslin on its own.
