From a relatively discreet hand-chorded bodice ball gowns to the high-glam draped tops, the down-to-the-floor jade motifs & velvet patches was a "thing" for bridal in the collection.

Floral details are a wedding dress staple, but KALKI Fashion took flowers to a new level for fall 2019-20 with the most exquisite, so-pretty-you'll-want-to-cry 3D mirror embellishments.

Layers of silk tulle, extra overlays of opulent hand-embroidered nets and pretty organzas walked down the runway. There's just something about the collection that gives a bride that extra swagger -- which is totally appropriate for a walk-down the aisle.
