To fill you in on some more fashion details about the collection, Saurabh Gupta, Director at KALKI reveals:
“Brides nowadays are not afraid to go bold, they love taking risks, accent with deep metallic hues if needed, or set their chosen hues irrespective of the occasion.

This time we came up with the most innovative color palettes blended in with deep-toned velvets for an intimate winter or warm-weather wedding. All in all, the collection is designed for eclectic, dynamic brides who think outside of the box and want to be anything but not ordinary. “
