As a weaving artist who grew up in a South Indian household, one of the things Manjari was most particular about was her sari. Her mother’s blue wedding sari was etched in her memory, and she had hoped to weave her own wedding kanjivaram but was unable to find the time. She knows what a true kanjivaram feels like and as someone who works with her hands everyday, Manjari needed her sari to come from a place that respected the craft. When she first walked into Kanakavalli, she says she felt a sense of relief and fell for the brand – the collection felt authentic and grounded to her, reassuring the weaver in her. The team was patient and kind, helping her find the exact shade of blue she had always imagined wearing for her wedding – simple, traditional and timeless. The whole experience, says Manjari, felt personal and honest. Manjari paired her Kanakavalli kanjivaram with her mother’s jewellery. She says it felt like carrying a piece of her mum with her through her wedding day – something old, something real and something that had already witnessed love and celebration before. A big thank you to Manjari for being a beautiful Kanakavalli Bride and sharing the story of her wedding with us. We wish her and Varun a lifetime of love and laughter.
