The three sisters — a coordinated wardrobe

Three sisters at their cousin's reception in Perintalmanna. Coral and gold, dupatta-draped over the shoulder. Styled by Saira, our coordinator. The bride paid for one lehenga. We styled the rest of the wardrobe at no extra cost — that is how the family package works.
