As a bridesmaid, whether you’re the sister of the bride or the bestie, you will play a pivotal part during the wedding celebrations. You will be the uncrowned frontrunner of the bride tribe. You will essay the role of the bride’s closest confidante and a cheerleader. You’ll need to make sure she is always looked after, from looking to feeling her best. Above all, tackle every emergency, be it emotional or sartorial. And with great power comes the prerequisite to dress appropriately. Think an ensemble that looks fabulous and is also feminine, flowy and fuss-free so you can play bridesmaid to the hilt. Sure, it’s a tall order but Warp ‘n Weft’s latest Sitara – The Bridesmaid Edition checks all the boxes.
Indian in soul, global in spirit
A collection that is as luxurious as it is personal, Sitara is crafted keeping the tastes and preferences of the bridesmaid of today in mind. Each garment in the edit carries the weight of time-honoured traditions along with a global outlook. Rich handlooms like Varanasi brocades, tissue and silks make the perfect canvas for delicate embroideries and embellishments. “Traditional Banarasi taking the shape of modern silhouettes is not just a new style statement, but also what the new-age bridesmaid is looking for. Sitara tells the story of the woman who wants to embrace tradition and embrace effortlessness. The collection’s colour palette, too, is as multifaceted as her to complement her personal style and radiate elegance in every shade and event. It spans a wide range, from pastels and primaries to jewel tones and metallics. Each versatile creation is brought to life with utmost precision and dedication by skilled karigars across several artisanal hours. And as a GI-authorized Banarasi brand, Warp ‘n Weft’s commitment to authenticity is unmatched,” says Sagrika Rai behind Warp ‘n Weft.
A gorgeous look for every event
The pieces in the range transcend conventions, while staying true to their roots. Not limited to tried-and-true kurtas and nonchalant lehengas, it consists of easy-breezy pant suits, shararas with corsets, long trench-style jackets, sheer tunics and much more. The lightweight yet versatile designs offer a diverse yet deeply rooted perspective on what it means to be a bridesmaid in 2025. With the right styling, the outfits can go from a day event to night.
For a sunlit chooda function, envision a bridesmaid wearing a kurta set in a striking Kesar shade that’s elevated with mongra and lachcha embroidery, and paired with a multi-coloured rangkat dupatta. At sangeet, the richly detailed Chinar Barn and Burgundy Khinkhwab paired with a glamorous Punjabi gharara will do the job. The Chinar Kashmiri green Khinkhwab with a sumptuous diamond weave in gold zari and dupion silk skirt will turn heads for the big day.
Zun with frosty tissue tunic and flowy satin pants blends a certain grandeur with effortlessness for a glamorous cocktail night. The sheer look in black will appeal to those who gravitate towards moody shades. For the mehndi, a caramel Jugni skirt and embroidered collar blouse, or a choice of aqua blue or emerald green will add the festive flair. And as the night crescendos for the pre-wedding dinner party, a stunning Sozni sharara set in teal, blue or wine will be enough to steal the spotlight, while dancing the night away.
Warp ‘n Weft’s Sitara – The Bridesmaid Edition is designed to encapsulate the unique bond between a bride and her tribe. It celebrates the unsung heroine of every wedding with refined sophistication because every unforgettable bride deserves an equally unforgettable bridesmaid by her side to create memories of a lifetime.
