We start with a conversation. Whether you have a family brooch you want to match or a specific temple jewelry set in mind, we sketch it out until the vision clicks. My job is to ensure the fit feels like a second skin, so you can stop worrying about the drape and just enjoy your big day. At Arulaa, this featured collection shows the variety of what we create together. From heavy, intricate bridal blouses to elegant, modern reception gowns, my focus remains on the fall and feel of the garment. I specialize in mixing traditional techniques like Zardosi, Dori, and Resham embroidery with modern aesthetics. Clients often come to me with a challenge. Perhaps a Kancheevaram saree that needs a new look or a family heirloom piece that requires a specific, minimal blouse design. I don't believe in one size fits all designs. Instead, I use a collaborative method. We start with your ideas, move to sketching, and then hand-embroider every detail. Because everything is hand-sewn, not glued, my pieces are built to last and can be re-worn for years. Whether you are in Vijayanagar or anywhere in Bengaluru, my studio is open for a consultation where we can bring your vision to life, piece by piece. ## About Arulaa by Rashmi Anoop Rao I am Rashmi. For me, designing is about making you feel truly yourself. I have spent a decade helping brides and families in Bengaluru tell their stories through what they wear, and I would love to do the same for you.
