What Couples Are Saying About Nazranaa
Keva Garg, Nazranaa customer review: Impressive Selection
Impressive Selection
There is no better team to get wedding outfits made by. Shia made me all custom bridal outfits as well as for the groom, family members and bridal party. They were all amazing. She communicates with you at each phase to show how designs are coming along and allows you to edit and customize. She is so responsive and patient. Unbelievably reliable. Can guide you to make things perfect without changing your vision. Cannot rave enough.

Bridesmaids and Groomsmen
Shia and Shashank are truly amazing at what they do - their attention to detail and expertise in the fabrics, latest styles, customer service, communication, and coordination for alterations/fittings were FLAWLESS. I had an American/Indian wedding with the entire wedding party wearing matching outfits, with customizations for both the bridesmaids and groomsmen. I also bought my lehenga and jewelry with Nazranaa, and they ensured everything matched and looking picture perfect. My husband also got her sherwani with Nazranaa, and the colors of his outfit complimented my outfit so well. All of our wedding guests were raving about our clothes, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for multi-cultural weddings - they are so accepting and inclusive and work well with people of all backgrounds.

Mia McDonald, Nazranaa customer review: A Perfect First-Time Experience at Nazranaa
A Perfect First-Time Experience at Nazranaa
I had never shopped for Indian clothes before (my husband is Indian and I'm not), so I went in not knowing exactly what I was looking for or what to expect. The Nazranaa team was incredibly helpful and made my experience so much fun. I picked a bridal lehenga at the store and had the colors customized, and the final version came out more beautiful than I could have imagined. My husband came back to find his wedding outfit here, and we were able to find something that went together perfectly (without matching exactly). A friend found a couple of beautiful wedding guest lehengas here, as well. I'd absolutely recommend Nazranaa to anyone looking for their bridal, groom, or guest looks!

Exceptional Customer Service
I bought a gorgeous lengha from Nazranaa last year for one of my pre-wedding events in London, and I couldn't be happier. Despite the shop being busy, Shia & her team still made me feel welcomed and didn't rush anything. Her amazing customer service and attention to detail made all the difference.Now, my sister, BIL, and mom are all shopping at Nazranaa for her wedding this year, and my best friend from California is checking them out too! It just shows how great this place is. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for beautiful outfits and an awesome shopping experience. Nazranaa is truly a gem!

Samantha Persaud, Nazranaa customer review: A Perfect Shopping Journey
A Perfect Shopping Journey
We travelled from Orlando to New Jersey just for the Nazranaa experience. The staff was very helpful and pretty much never told us “no”. I was very selective and I had a vision of what I was looking for. When nothing in the store was satisfactory we decided to get our outfits custom designed by Shia and made in India and I was not disappointed in the outcome. I was never stressed in the process they were very communicative and sent me updates throughout something I don’t think I would have gotten else where. We flew in one more time for final fittings and they were able to ship it to Florida for me. Everything arrived as it should and I was beyond happy with my experience. You truly do get what you pay for with Nazranaa. Experience, Talent and Quality. It was an amazing once in a lifetime occurrence. The outfits really set the bar and everyone that attended could not stop telling us how gorgeous everything was.

Exceptional Custom Outfits for Our Special Day
Shia helped bring our ideal outfits to life. She took our ideas and created custom-made matching outfits for my wife and I. We couldn't be happier with the results. Shia was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She was incredibly easy to work with, offering valuable advice on color choices and materials that perfectly suited our needs. The outfits turned out beautifully, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Thank you, Shia and the entire staff @Nazranaa, for making our special occasion even more memorable!

About This Collection

Samskriti 2.0: The Evolution of South Asian Wearable Art in America

Debuted on the runway at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) at Refractory Chelsea, Samskriti 2.0 marks the monumental next chapter in Nazranaa’s couture legacy. Created by sibling designer duo Shivangi Gupta Singh and Shashank Gupta, this Spring/Summer 2027 runway presentation bridges ancestral reverence with modern haute couture. Conceived as an intellectual love letter to India's architectural, spiritual, and literary heritage, Samskriti 2.0 transforms centuries-old stone engravings, sacred geometries, and ancient Sanskrit poetry into breathtaking wearable art for discerning brides, grooms, and red-carpet tastemakers across the United States.

Closed by Bollywood superstar Bhumi Pednekar in an architectural ivory-and-gold masterpiece, Samskriti 2.0 proves that Indian wedding couture possesses both soul and intellectual depth. Every silhouette is an archive of civilizational memory. Rather than relying solely on surface embellishment, each ensemble is built with deliberate structural balance, honoring monuments from Jagannath Puri and Belur Math to Angkor Wat, alongside mathematical algorithms pioneered by ancient South Asian scholars.

Architectural Inspiration: The Sacred Temples of South Asia

Sacred Indian architecture represents an earthly manifestation of divine symmetry. In Samskriti 2.0, Nazranaa’s master artisans translate sacred structural principles directly into fabric engineering, delivering couture silhouettes that command the spotlight at luxury American wedding venues from Manhattan ballrooms to California vineyards.

The Jagannath Puri & Konark Sun Temple Motifs

Reflecting the stone-carved wheels and towering spires of the Utkala architectural tradition, our signature bridal lehengas incorporate concentric floral mandalas, sacred chariot wheels, and antique bullion threadwork. Each panel is individually patterned to echo the ascending spires of ancient shrines, creating regal visual elongation and dramatic runway movement.

The Belur Math Masterpiece (Worn by Showstopper Bhumi Pednekar)

Belur Math’s architectural marvel synthesizes design elements from Hindu temples, mosques, and cathedrals, celebrating universal unity and harmony in diversity. Reimagined as an opulent couture lehenga, this design combines micro-pearl seed embroidery, matte gold dabka, and multi-layered sheer silks to reproduce the intricate stone jaali fretwork that defines the monument.

The Sacred Sanctums of Vrindavan & Mathura

Carrying a deeply personal resonance for designers Shivangi and Shashank—whose mother was born in Mathura—the collection’s Vrindavan series captures the romanticism of the Yamuna River and Radha-Krishna folklore. Intricate threadwork renders forest blossoms, sacred peacocks, and temple sanctums in deep emerald greens, ritual vermilions, and sunrise golds.

Menswear Redefined: Mathematics, Poetry, and Intellectual Heritage

For modern grooms across the United States seeking refined individuality, Samskriti 2.0 elevates menswear far beyond standard conventional sherwanis. The collection translates India’s profound contributions to mathematics, linguistic symmetry, and classical literature into structural silhouettes.

  • The Binary Rhythm of Meru Prastara: Honoring ancient mathematician Acharya Pingala’s foundational combinatorial work (the ancient Sanskrit antecedent to binary systems and Pascal’s triangle), these sherwanis and bandhgalas feature linear geometric placements and rhythmic metallic embroidery.

  • Sarvatobhadra & Vilomakavyam Palindromes: Inspired by poet-scholar Māgha and Sanskrit reversible poetry, select bandhgala collars and cuffs showcase palindromic, mirrored embroidery patterns that remain visually flawless and symmetrical from every angle.

  • Katapayadi Alphanumeric Inscriptions: Incorporating ancient mnemonic numbering systems, these garments interweave subtle, abstract geometric motifs that pay homage to astronomy and linguistic science.

  • Regal Temple Silhouettes: Menswear pieces honoring Venkateshwara, Angkor Wat, and Dakshineswar Kali feature structured shoulder lines, royal high-neck bandhgalas, and raw Banarasi silk brocades that pair seamlessly with bridal ensembles.

Atelier Craftsmanship & Master Construction

Each garment within the Samskriti 2.0 collection represents between 200 and 450 hours of intensive manual needlework executed by multi-generational karigars.

  1. Artisanal Hand-Embroideries: Authentic zardozi work, hand-beaten gold and silver wire (kasab), French bullion knots, delicate marodi stitchery, and semi-precious stone setting form the core texture of every outfit.

  2. Textile Integrity: We use pure handloom silk, raw kashi silk, rich dupion, tissue organza, and Italian structured satins that drape cleanly without unnecessary weight.

  3. Weightless Interior Architecture: Engineered specifically for extended multi-day wedding celebrations, our lehengas and sherwanis feature flexible can-can structuring, reinforced interior seams, and breathable cotton-silk linings that ensure unconstrained movement.
