Best Lehenga Shops On Commercial Street For The Perfect Bridal Couture
Overview
Badsha Stores - The Silk Experience
Established in 1914, Badshah is over a century old and one of the most popular lehenga stores on Commercial Street. Well, it’s off Commercial Street to be honest, it’s on Kamraj Road, but it’s still very much part of the Commercial Street lehenga trail. You’ll love that the store offers lehengas for every budget. We were shown a variety of lehengas with as much intricate work and detailing in the price range of INR 3,500 to INR 5,000 as one would find for lehengas priced INR 15,000 and above. Of course, there are plenty of red lehengas designs, but they also have a range of colours, including peach, gold, and some unconventional colours for the brides and the bridesmaids, like pastel orange. There are cholis, and readymade blouses in full sleeves, quarter sleeves, and short sleeves also available.
Price: INR 3,500 and upwards

Meraj Couture
Meraj Couture is a two-story store on Commercial Street and is quite popular amongst brides, offering a range of options from heavy-duty embroidered lehengas to simpler, more elegant versions. You'll find that a lot of inspiration for their designs comes from Bollywood. They also do a range of Indo-western silhouettes, so think lehengas with a train. Another collection we spotted at their store and on their website is the Persian-style lehengas. Apart from luxe bridal lehengas, they do dressy ones, gowns, and sharara sets. The store also has a selection of unstitched salwar kameez sets in pretty pastel silks with palazzo-style bottoms, light brocade patterns, and tassel details. And yes, they also offer alterations and customisations

Koskii
If looking straight out of a Yash Raj Films or Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie is what your bridal Pinterest board looks like, then Koskii is where you need to head. Their Commercial Street experience centre offers a range of grand lehengas with heavy embroidery. In fact, their collection of lehengas can be roughly divided into bridal, haldi, reception, mehendi, and bridesmaids' lehengas. From classic choli-style tops and crop tops to halter neck and corset designs, you’ll find them all here. All you need to do is pick a skirt (from flouncy chiffon to more solid silk) and mix and match. If you're particular, they even offer custom embroidery at their studio, so unleash your inner designer.
