Vani Vats Reception Lehengas, Sarees & Sets | Fabilicious

Ash pink crepe lehenga by Vvani by Vani Vats — mirror and cutdana embroidery, made to measure at Fabilicious.

Vvani by Vani Vats is one of the designers Bollywood keeps reaching for at receptions — Shilpa Shetty, Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh have all worn the label for evening events. The reason is consistent across her range: mirror and cutdana hand embroidery, fluid georgette and soft net, and a colour story built for camera flash and candlelight in equal measure.

Below is our reception edit from the current Vvani collection at Fabilicious — mermaid lehengas, indo-western draped sets and pre-draped sarees, each made to your measurements and shipped worldwide.

Mermaid lehengas for a sculpted reception silhouette

The fish-cut skirt is the most dramatic shape in the reception edit — fitted through the hip, then flaring below the knee. Vvani's take pairs the silhouette with a hand cut mirror embroidered V-neck blouse, so the drama sits at the hem and the neckline stays clean.

Warm metallics

Copper brown soft net mermaid lehenga

A fish-cut soft net skirt in copper brown, paired with a hand cut mirror embroidered V-neck blouse and a satin stole finished in cascading black tassels.

Statement black

Black soft net mermaid lehenga set

The same sculpted mermaid cut in black, with a V-neck blouse in hand cut mirror embroidery and a cascading tasselled stole — built for an evening reception under low light.

Indo-western draped sets for the modern reception guest

For guests and bridesmaids who want the ease of a skirt with the sparkle of full Vvani embroidery, the draped skirt set is the pick. Each single-drop skirt pairs with a hand cut mirror and cutdana embroidered blouse and a tasselled stole, so the whole look photographs as one considered outfit rather than separates.

Cool tone, bridesmaid ready

Deep blue georgette draped skirt set

A single-drop georgette skirt in deep blue, worn with a hand cut mirror and cutdana embroidered blouse and a satin stole finished in cascading silver tassels.

Metallic statement

Metallic copper draped skirt set

The same single-drop silhouette in a metallic copper georgette, paired with a hand cut mirror and cutdana embroidered blouse — a warmer alternative for evening light.

Pre-draped sarees for the reception dance floor

A pre-draped saree removes the one thing that makes a saree risky on a dance floor — the pleats are already set. Vvani builds hers with linear tassel detailing and heavily embroidered blouses, so the saree still reads as a full reception look rather than a shortcut.

Corset blouse

Black single drop pre-draped corset saree

A single-drop black georgette saree with a structured corset blouse, richly worked in cutdana and mirror hand embroidery — the fashion-forward pick for a cocktail reception.

Jewel tone

Dark teal green linear pre-draped saree

Linear tassel detailing in silver against a dark teal green georgette saree, with a heavily hand cut mirror embroidered V-neck blouse — a jewel-toned alternative to black.

How to choose your Vvani reception piece

Match the shape to your comfort level

The mermaid lehenga is the most fitted silhouette here and suits guests who want maximum drama and are comfortable in a sculpted shape. The draped skirt set gives a similar sparkle with more ease of movement. The pre-draped saree is the most forgiving on fit and the easiest to dance in.

Let colour do the work against the venue

Black and dark teal green photograph best under evening lighting and low venue light. Copper brown and metallic copper read warmer and suit both daytime cocktail hours and evening receptions.

Think about the blouse as much as the skirt

Every piece in this edit carries hand cut mirror and cutdana embroidery on the blouse, so the neckline can carry a look on its own — pair with statement earrings and keep the necklace minimal or skip it entirely.
