Naadia

Naadia commissioned Sherni London to create all three of her key looks for her fusion wedding - the civil ceremony, the Nikaah, and the reception.

Her brief was specific for each ensemble. 

For the civil ceremony - a Chantilly lace white saree, with satin blouse, hand embroidered pearls over the floral design, and a longer, statement train for her pallu.

Naadia's Nikaah outfit request was a traditional red and gold hand embroidered bridal lehenga. We added a small puddle train to the skirt, bead droplets on the back opening, and a brand new embroidery pattern that had been created specifically for Naadia. 

For shape and cinching, we created the blouse as a corset, and Naadia was blown away by how well it all fit.

For the wedding reception the brief was sparkles, glitter, and more is more. We created a corset blouse for this too, as well as straps that could be worn off the shoulder or on. These included hand beaded droplets to elevate the sleeves.

A brand new embroidery pattern was created specifically for this ensemble too, and we used layers of gold tissue silk, gold hand embroidery, with a mix of sequins, zardosi, beadwork and more. This gave Naadia's reception lehenga a more textured look and allowed her to shine throughout the night.

See below for more images and Naadia's experience in her own words:

  • A woman wearing a long white lace saree stands between large stone columns in an outdoor garden setting, holding out the sheer lace train of the saree.
  • A woman wearing a white lace wedding gown with a long sheer train stands in front of large stone columns of a historic building.
  • A bride in a white lace wedding saree with a long veil stands beside a groom in a black jacket and green tartan kilt, holding hands in a warmly lit indoor setting with large windows.

NAADIA'S REVIEW

"From the moment I met Trish, I knew I was in safe hands. She designed and created three completely different outfits for each of my wedding events, and every single one exceeded my expectations.

After having disappointing experiences at other bridal boutiques, I was feeling quite apprehensive. As someone who doesn't fit into standard high street sizes, wedding dress shopping had left me feeling discouraged. 

Trish completely changed that experience for me. From our very first consultation, she made me feel comfortable, confident and celebrated exactly as I was. She never made me feel like I had to fit into a mould; instead, she designed outfits that were made specifically for me.

What I loved most was how invested she became in my wedding journey. Trish genuinely shared in my excitement and embraced my vision for each of my outfits. What made it even more special was that she told me that she had never created anything quite like these designs before, so this was a new experience for her too. Rather than being daunted by that, she embraced the challenge and brought my ideas to life in a way that was beyond anything I could have imagined. It felt like we were on the journey together, and I loved seeing each outfit evolve from an idea into something completely real.

Her attention to detail and craftsmanship are simply exceptional. Every bead, stitch and embellishment was thoughtfully considered, and each outfit was completely different while still feeling unmistakably *me*. She didn't just create beautiful clothes; she created three outfits that made me feel incredibly special and confident.

There were moments where I had doubts and questioned how everything would come together, but Trish remained calm, patient and reassuring throughout. She always seemed to have complete confidence in the process, which gave me confidence too. No question was ever too much for her, and whenever I needed to contact her, she was incredibly responsive. She kept me informed throughout the entire design and creation process, so I always felt involved and knew exactly where we were up to.

And then came the moment I wore the finished outfits... and she absolutely delivered! In fact, she exceeded every expectation I had. I felt confident, elegant and beautiful in every single one, and the confidence I felt wearing them really showed. I received so many compliments throughout my wedding celebrations, and looking back at my photographs now, I still can't believe those incredible outfits were made especially for me.

Trish is not only an exceptionally talented designer but also one of the kindest, most patient and genuinely caring people you could hope to work with. She listened to my ideas, shared in my excitement, reassured me when I needed it and ultimately created something even more beautiful than I had imagined.

If you're looking for someone who will truly listen to your vision, make you feel comfortable and confident regardless of your size, and put their heart and soul into creating something completely unique for you, I cannot recommend Trish highly enough.

Thank you, Trish, for sharing in my excitement, believing in my vision and creating three outfits that made me feel so beautiful and confident on the most important days of my life. I will treasure them forever."
