Lehenga Shopping in the UK for NRI Brides

Check out the list of the top bridal stores to visit in the UK to find your dream lehenga.

Where am I going to find my dream lehenga?

Brides-to-be, whether in India or abroad, have to figure this one out first in their wedding planning process. But while the galaxy of star Indian bridal designers is easy to access for brides-to-be in the country, NRI brides find it a little harder. Not every bride will be able to visit India for the repeated fittings and intricate discussions you need to create a stunning bridal trousseau.

So, WeddingSutra to the rescue. Here is a list of the top bridal stores to visit in the UK where you will find your dream lehenga this wedding season.

1. Aashni + Co
Aashni + Co opened its flagship store in London’s charming Notting Hill and suddenly NRI brides in the United Kingdom had access to visionary South Asian bridal wear designers. With offerings ranging from haute couture, ready-to-wear, jewellery and accessories, our favorite picks from the store are these creations by Varun Bahl and Astha Narang.

Varun Bahl Lehenga: INR 525,000
Astha Narang Lehenga: INR 88,000
