Richa Chadha paid homage to her lineage, her childhood memories of Punjabi weddings and the women who raised her in a hand embroidered masterpiece designed by renowned couturier Mayyur Girotra.
Richa who recently attended her brother’s wedding, marked the personal moment by donning the Yaminah Garara Set featuring a fluid silhouette rendered in lightweight sheer Chanderi. The flowing silhouette and intricate craftsmanship was enhanced with traditional phulkari and mirror work.
Exuding tradition with a timeless allure, Richa looked elegant in Mayyur Girotra’s vision of couture. Sharing her thoughts on wearing such a beautiful piece for a special occasion, Richa shares, “For me, this wasn’t just an outfit. It was a tribute—to my lineage, my childhood memories of Punjabi weddings, the women who raised me, and the roots that ground me. I wanted to feel like myself—but elevated, reflective, and steeped in love.”
Speaking about Mayyur Girotra’s design language and celebrating her through his couture designs, Richa Chadha expresses, “Mayyur’s work speaks to the woman I am today.It’s anchored in tradition, but with room to breathe, to evolve. That duality—of power and softness—is what drew me to his design.”
This beautiful and elegant garara set draws inspiration from rituals, heirlooms, and the quiet beauty of tradition, translated for the woman of today. Mayyur Girotra’s work is often a conversation between past and present and this piece is no exception. Not only did Richa look stunning in the Indian silhouette but it also presented Indian craftsmanship with utmost honesty and creativity.
“Richa’s look was about more than just celebration—it was about honouring stories, rituals, and roots. We leaned into the language of Phulkari and vintage mirror work, but treated it with restraint and fluidity, letting the silhouette speak,” shares designer Mayyur Girotra.
With design inspirations echoing phulkari motifs and bridal dressing rituals, Richa’s look becomes a quiet yet resounding homage to the spirit of Punjabi women: bold, rooted, and luminous.
Styled with emerald glass bangles, uncut kundan jewellery from Inaaya Jewellery, and soft, understated glam done by Divya Dewan Babbar, Richa Chadha’s look set the tone for summer weddings. An effortless homage to a cultural memory.
