Floral jaals—delicate, net-like weaves of fresh blooms—have become one of the most sensorial expressions in Indian weddings. Rooted in tradition yet revived through modern craftsmanship, they speak to the Indian instinct for beauty, ritual, and symbolism. As Srishti Kapur, Founder of Floral Art by Srishti, explains, “Flowers have always been part of our weddings, but brides now see them as an extension of their personality.

They want their florals to feel intimate, meaningful, and couture.” The trend found new life with Radhika M Ambani's haldi look, a collaboration between Rhea Kapoor and Anamika Khanna, where Srishti’s studio crafted a bespoke floral jaal dupatta. Although the motif has long been a part of Indian bridal traditions— as seen on Shweta Bachchan during her wedding festivities in 1997—its resurgence today reflects a new appetite for nostalgia layered with modern artistry.
