Want to wear customised designer clothes for your wedding, but don’t know where to find them? Rangeela, a designer studio at T Nagar offers ready-to-order bridal sarees and lehengas for that special occasion.

Rangeela, launched earlier this month, offers a line of sparkling designer wear in a wide variety of colours, intricately designed on smooth and silky fabrics with utmost care. “Every sari or lehenga will take at least 30 days to make, with 4 to 5 people working on it. We bring the design on paper and accordingly instruct the workers, who have come from other states. Most of the bridal attire is made from satin or velvet fabric,” explained Rajesh Jain, one of the owners of the store.

Apart from the conventional saris and lehengas, one can even opt for a lehanga that can be draped as a saree. This could cost anywhere between Rs 7,000 to Rs 70,000. Lehengas are priced from Rs 5,000 onwards while bridal sarees could range anywhere between Rs 2,000 and Rs 2 lakh.

But what makes the store unique is their one-stop shopping concept where both the bride and the groom could look for colour co-ordinated outfits for their special day. They also have matching wear for the family members of the couple.  A sherwani set that includes safa (head gear) and juti (footwear), designed with simple beads and stones, could cost Rs 0,000 while, an Indo-Western wear for the groom starts from Rs 10,000.

“Everything is ready-made here. We adjust the fittings accordingly, apart from the customized orders we take,” said Rajesh’s partner, Rajendra Kumar Kankaria. In addition to their designer wear, Rangeela offers bridal make-up and hairstyling. “These days we find more South Indians opting for designer wear for their weddings. We have a huge variety to suit their preferences,” Rajesh smiled.

(Rangeela is located at City Centre Complex, 66, Thirumalai Pillai Road, T Nagar)
