Seema Gujral's latest couture and bridal collection, 'Vows', is an extravagant celebration of love and traditional craftsmanship in bridal crimson red. With intricate zardozi embroidery and Gujral's signature crystal work, the delicate tone-on-tone red lehengas blend tradition with modernism.

Apart from red, there are the label's signature colours, including ivories, golds, coppers, and bronzes, enhanced with metallic tonal embroidery. For grooms, there's a selection of slightly longer sherwanis paired with churidars with tonal and antique gold embroidery on ivory, sage, and military green bases, as well as metallic-inspired sherwanis in antique gold, copper, and bronze. The designer takes us through the collection.
