Whenever a bride-to-be decides to be molded in the Ali Xeeshan signature bridal style, you are assured of elegance, pomp, show, color and grandeur. Keeping his Pakistani roots in mind, he has created a trademark style that bypasses all his competitors’ designs in terms of couture in this very saturated market of fashion design. He has been a style guru for many confused brides.

His creations are inspired by the belief that we have been born in a land of traditions, beauty and exquisiteness. He recently showcased his bridal collection at L'Oreal Paris Bridal Week 2012 Day 2. His collection stood out among many designers who displayed their creations on the ramp.   

The rich eastern culture combined with creativity gives us an avalanche of tradition, style, and diversity-in short, the Ali Xeeshan bride. His bridal wear defines the mixture of numerous cultures that the South East Asia has been home to.   

While painting his brides in the colors of tradition, Ali Xeeshan keeps the hues of royalty in mind. The bridal wear is done mostly in shades of red, golden, maroon with hints of green and other colors as well. Heavy embellishments done chicly yet vividly on high end luxurious fabrics create the perfect look of Mughal royalty.

Every piece of jewelry that the Ali Xeeshan bride carries, recites a story about our rich heritage and influential culture. A heavily-laden bride is “the Bride’ in our culture, and that’s what Ali Xeeshan creates. Complete with a matha-patti, jhumkay, naulakha haar and nath, his brides look nothing short of ornate Mughal queens. The look is completed with farshi lehngas and heavy dupattas.

Breathing life into our traditional philosophy of ‘more is more’, the designer gives his brides a timeless character. Embodying the age old beauty and the ancient splendor, the Ali Xeeshan’ bride makes a place for herself on a throne highly placed.
