Aari Embroidery — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything customers usually ask before placing an Aari embroidery order with us.
What is Aari embroidery?
Aari embroidery is a hand-embroidery technique done with a hooked needle on fabric stretched over a frame, used to create chain-stitched beadwork, zari and mirror detailing — the technique behind most heavy bridal blouse work.
How much does Aari embroidery cost?
It depends on design complexity, coverage, materials and how much handwork is involved. We don't quote without seeing the design — send a reference on WhatsApp for an accurate price. See our full pricing guide for details.
How long does Aari work take?
Light custom work can take a few hours to a couple of weeks; heavy bridal blouses typically need 30–50 hours of handwork, so we recommend booking bridal orders 6–8 weeks ahead.
Do you make bridal Aari blouses?
Yes, bridal Aari blouse work is one of our main specialities — see our bridal page for design ideas.
Can I provide my own design?
Yes, most orders start from a reference photo or idea you send us on WhatsApp.
Can I customize a design?
Yes — we build each piece around your fabric, colour and the reference you share, rather than offering fixed ready-made designs.
How do I get a quotation?
Send a clear reference photo, your fabric/blouse colour, and your rough timeline on WhatsApp, and we'll reply with a price and timeline.
