Fabric Recommendation & Embroidery Guide based on the Destination Weddings in India.
Destination weddings have become the heartbeat of modern Indian celebrations where travel meets tradition, and style meets story. From regal forts to tranquil beaches, every venue carries its own charm and every bride deserves a look that complements her setting.
At Fareenas, we believe your bridal outfit should be designed not just for your body but also for your destination. Climate, light, culture, and emotion, all influence how a lehenga looks and feels. That’s why we specialize in customizing fabrics, embroidery, and Zardozi work to match your wedding venue, ensuring you look breathtaking while feeling at ease.
Here’s a curated guide to the most popular destination wedding types in India, and how to dress for each one.

2. Beach & Coastal Weddings
Where: Goa, Alibaug, Kovalam, Andamans

For couples drawn to the sea, coastal weddings are light, joyful, and full of movement. Your outfit should flow with the wind, not fight against it.
