How do I store a velvet bridal lehenga long term?
Store it hanging or rolled rather than folded flat, because velvet pile crushes permanently under sustained pressure and the marks do not lift. Use a cotton bag rather than plastic so the fabric can breathe, and have it dry cleaned before storing rather than afterwards.
Why does velvet look so deep in photographs?
Velvet has a dense raised pile that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, so the colour reads saturated and dark in shadow and lifts sharply where a highlight catches the surface. That contrast is what gives velvet bridal sets their depth in wedding photography.
What comes with this lehenga?
Three pieces: one lehenga, one dupatta and one blouse, with the number of dupattas recorded as single. The blouse is a designer cut in velvet and the dupatta is red net with an embellished border. All three pieces are recorded in red.
Is red velvet too warm for a wedding day?
Velvet traps warmth because of its pile, which suits the cooler months when most Indian wedding dates fall. For a summer ceremony it will be noticeably warm across a full day, so consider the season and the venue before choosing velvet over net or silk.
