The Nikkah and Walima Edit

Formal Dressing for Nikkah and Walima

For the nikkah the hour is religious and coverage is the rule, so look to the deep jewel tones here, emerald, bottle green and merlot, with kaftans and jacket sets as the easiest full-coverage answer. For the walima the register is full evening formal, where jewel tones, metallics and the house's ivory and champagne pieces all read as correct. Ivory, champagne and pearl are also the classic walima bride's own palette, so if you are a guest drawn to those tones, it is worth checking with the couple rather than assuming either way. Hand cutwork, crystal work and pearl detailing carry the refinement the day calls for, and a few pieces here are cut with a statement neckline, a cut out or a sheer overlay rather than full coverage, their product pages say so. Because the blouse, sleeve and drape are set by you, no two orders come out the same. A Rashmi Kumari piece is made to order, cut to your own measurements, blouse style and sleeve length. Made to order in 4 to 6 weeks; order 8 to 10 weeks before your date. Shipped worldwide, flat rate, except India, which we serve on our own terms.
