Embroidered Net Mood Board: Bridal Reads by Function
A mood board for brides choosing embroidered net fabric in 2026, written from the shop floor in Lajpat Nagar.
The sangeet aesthetic. Soft net base. Medium thread plus sequin work. Tone-on-tone embroidery in pale gold on ivory, or rose gold on dusty pink. Six metre ghera. Dance-friendly drape. Photographs as a gentle shimmer under banquet warm lighting. Wear with kundan studs, not full sets.
The wedding day aesthetic. Russian net base. Heavy zardozi on a saturated base shade. Deep maroon, oxblood, midnight green or imperial blue. Nine metre ghera with a proper canister hem. Photographs as full structure under mandap lighting. Heavy polki or kundan set works here.
The reception aesthetic. Dyeable greige base in a custom mid-tone. Blush, champagne, sage, dusty lilac, smoky grey. Medium-heavy embroidery with mixed sequin and zari. Eight metre ghera. Photographs as soft luxe under cool LED lighting. Diamond or pearl set sits best.
The mehendi aesthetic. Light mono net base. Tone-on-tone thread work in mustard, turmeric, olive or coral. Six metre ghera. Photographs as breezy and warm under outdoor afternoon light. Skip heavy sequins because the bride sits and moves a lot. Floral jewellery wins here.
The cocktail aesthetic. Korean soft net base in a darker palette. Wine, charcoal, emerald or smoky bronze. Mixed sequin with light thread overlay. Seven metre ghera. Photographs as understated glam under cool spot lighting. Statement earrings, minimal necklace.
A quick palette tip. Once you pick the function aesthetic, hold three colour swatches in front of the bride under daylight and under indoor light. The shade that flatters her under both lighting types is the dye lot to commit to.
Browse the embroidered net fabric collection for current dyeable greige stock and pre-dyed pieces across all five aesthetics.
The bride who looks at home on her own wedding day is the bride whose fabric matched her function aesthetic, not her Pinterest crush. Pick the read first. The shade follows.
