Boston-based, Gujju bride, Shaily was very clear from the start that every ceremonial piece needed to reflect her values, anchored in sustainability, from working with crafts from her homeland, Gujarat, to investing in a bridal trousseau that would live well beyond the wedding day.
Our styling process began on Zoom, ten months before the wedding, asking questions like, “how do we make this wardrobe journey carbon positive, and how do we partner with creative studios that support artisans at the grassroots level?”
This wedding beautifully demonstrates the sacred relationship a bride shares with her wedding stylist, and just how much trust really matters. Shaily didn’t only see her wedding saree for the first time just days before her wedding, but had also never even tried it on before, because it was a 100% custom-built piece, made entirely for her. So grateful to build this gem of a bridal look for someone who genuinely lived up to what she meant by a sustainable wedding wardrobe. So much love for you love for you @shaiontheway
Send this to a bride-to-be planning her own version of a sustainable Indian wedding, oceans away from home ♥️

Thanks! guys. It was 100% trust in stylist. When we visited designer, I was confused and had no clue how this saree will look. In Gujarati’s panetar is gifted by mama. My mother and brother asked me to show photo and I said we don’t know how it will look since we saw example of embroidery, pick color from swatch and material from the sample piece. My mom was so surprised that without picture, without trying it on, how can you trust someone for wedding outfit? It was total trust in our stylist by @shaiontheway and it paid off. Look at this master piece❤️
