“Nidhi designed my bridal lehenga from first sketch to final fitting. Six fittings, every stitch hand-done — the result was an heirloom. Worth every rupee and every visit.”

Reception Gown Silhouettes
Mermaid silhouette gown
Body-skimming through hip, dramatic flare from knee — the classic Indian reception gown for confident brides.
Cape-sleeve floor-length gown
Detachable embroidered cape — full coverage for vidaai photos, lighter feel for reception dancing.
Saree gown / pre-stitched drape
The drama of a saree, the ease of a gown — pre-pleated and zipped, with shimmering pallu.
Off-shoulder ball gown
Western-leaning silhouette in pastels and jewel tones with hand zardozi accents — ideal for international receptions.
Lehenga-style gown
Bodice and flared skirt fused as one — easier to dance in than a traditional lehenga, more dramatic than a regular gown.
Indo-western reception lehenga
Crop-top blouse, structured skirt, embroidered jacket — for brides who want lehenga but reception-ready.

Reception Gown — FAQ
What should a bride wear for the reception in India?
Most Indian brides choose a gown, lehenga-gown hybrid or pre-stitched saree gown for the reception — softer than the wedding-day lehenga, easier to dance in, and often in a contrasting palette like wine, ivory, blush or emerald. Le Wraps designs bespoke reception gowns from ₹1,25,000 in Delhi.
How much does a designer reception gown cost in Delhi?
A bespoke reception gown at Le Wraps starts at ₹1,25,000 for mid-couture with hand zardozi accents, ₹2,25,000–₹4,00,000 for signature couture with full surface embroidery, and ₹4,50,000+ for heavily embellished show pieces in Banarasi tissue or hand-cut sequins.
What colour should a reception gown be?
Wine, ivory, blush pink, emerald green, midnight blue and champagne are the most-requested reception gown palettes — each chosen to contrast meaningfully with the wedding-day red or pink lehenga. The reception gown is the bride's chance to pivot from traditional to dramatic.
Mermaid, ball gown or saree gown — which suits me?
Mermaid gowns flatter hourglass and pear silhouettes; ball gowns suit petite and apple shapes; saree gowns work for almost every body since the pleats and pallu are placement-controlled. We recommend the silhouette during your consultation based on your body, venue and dance plans.
How long does a bespoke reception gown take?
Allow 60–90 days for a fully bespoke reception gown including muslin fitting, fabric construction, surface embroidery and three fittings. Rush 45-day timelines are possible for mid-couture pieces without compromising fit.
Where can I get a designer reception gown in Delhi?
Le Wraps in Friends Colony East designs bespoke reception gowns — mermaid, cape, saree-gown, ball-gown and lehenga-gown silhouettes — coordinated with the rest of your bridal trousseau. Book by calling or WhatsApping +91 98113 07891.
