Shop Reception Dresses for Brides: Choose the Silhouette First

Reception dresses start with one choice, the silhouette: a reception gown in one long line, a reception lehenga with a full skirt, a peshwas over a lehenga, a farshi gharara or a saree. Then pick the colour family, from ivory, white and ice blue to pastel pinks, mustard or red, and the embroidery shade: silver, rose gold or gold. Reception dresses are made for the bride and sewn after you order in our own workshops in Pakistan, in a standard size or to your measurements, and delivered throughout France with free Normal Delivery.

Planning around the reception date

Each delivery time is counted in calendar days from the day after your order and covers stitching as well as shipping to France:

  • Normal Delivery: up to 3 months, free
  • Rush Delivery: up to 30 calendar days, €59
  • Super Rush Delivery: up to 14 calendar days, €199

Count back from the reception, not the baraat, unless the two fall within days of each other; then order both outfits together and plan for the earlier date. Send your measurements as soon as our team asks for them. Import charges are normally prepaid by us; if a courier ever asks you for customs, duty or tax, send us the receipt and we refund the verified amount. The full terms are on our delivery information page.

Which silhouette for which evening

A gown changes your shape most after a lehenga at the baraat, and a front-open gown or a peshwas keeps a lehenga visible underneath. A trail suits a grand entrance and stage photos, while a hem without one is easier at a seated dinner with dancing afterwards. A lehenga keeps full bridal volume, with a cancan layer if you want the skirt held out, and farshi lehengas and farshi ghararas sweep the floor. For one long line with less volume, compare our reception sarees, from a light drape to all-over silver organza.

Colour, work and changes

Ivory, white, cream and ice blue read softest after a red baraat; pinks, peach and lilac stay gentle; yellow, mustard and wine bring warmth, and emerald keeps the evening rich. The embroidery is built from dabka, zari, salma sitara, nakshi, kora, sequins and pearls, in silver, rose gold or gold, or in tonal thread that matches the base. Every bridal design can be ordered as Full Custom Design: ask about a colour or embroidery change before ordering, and anything that adds fabric, embroidery or labour is priced for your approval first.

Reception dress questions

Can one look cover the walima as well?

Often, yes. Reception and walima looks overlap, and soft colours with silver or rose-gold work suit both events, so one outfit can cover both days. If the walima is the bigger day, compare our walima dresses as well.

Can the groom order his reception outfit here?

Yes. Our groom’s sherwani range is sewn in our own workshops, in S, M, L and XL or stitched to his measurements, and his order can use Normal Delivery, Rush Delivery or Super Rush Delivery, so both outfits can be planned for one date.

How do measurements work from France?

Choose a standard size from our size guide, or choose Custom Size and provide the requested measurements. The workshop works in inches, with centimetres shown for reference, and if you fall between two sizes, take the larger one. Progress photos and close-up videos are available on request while your dress is made.
