I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding outfit than what Anu designed.Being queer, I felt frustrated by the lack of Indian wedding outfit options that aligned with my gender expression. Nothing on the internet seemed representative of what I wanted to wear. It was even harder to shop in person as I didn’t know which stores would be homophobic or which stores would welcome me.Finding B Anu Designs was like finding a beacon of light. Anu’s team was welcoming and made me feel safe. She was able to capture the essence of my vision and transform it into something beautiful. I wanted something masculine but extremely feminine at the same time. I wanted something traditional but also modern. I wanted an outfit that I could feel gorgeous in and comfortable. Anu was able to deliver that and much more.In addition to my wedding outfit, Anu designed a series of outfits for me and my wife to wear at my sister’s wedding. We wanted something coordinating in an obvious, but elegant way. Anu was able to deliver just that with our reception outfits.Throughout the process, I do wish there was more communication during the design phase. One of the blouses came back with a design we were not so fond of. We had voiced this concern to Anu and she listened and responded immediately. She was able to quickly rectify the situation and assuage our anxiety. Anu is always open to feedback and looking to improve.Overall, I am very satisfied with B Anu Designs. She is very talented. If you’re queer and none of the outfits seem to be what you want, you can trust Anu to design it for you!

I worked with Anu as a bride from the northeast who was trying to find and design my perfect bridal outfit. From the beginning she was extremely clear-cut and open with communication and above all gave her honest opinions on what would and what would not align with my visions rather than just trying to sell me on whatever the first thing I picked up was.When I finally selected my lehenga, we went through a few iterations of sending color swatches back and forth until I picked the color that was perfect for me. Everything was reliable and efficient and was exactly what a bride needs when planning a wedding; stressless. I cannot recommend Anu enough!

Anu was very helpful in helping me decide what to wear at my upcoming wedding. They had a great selection of styles and colors. They worked with me to find something that was best suited to my taste and wedding theme.

Stay away from B Anu designs, she is literally the worst. Acts so sweet when you first meet her and she says she will communicate with you throughout the whole process, but we tried to work with her for our wedding and it was such a mistake. After giving her 75% of the deposit, she ghosted us for months. We literally had no idea what was going on with our outfits. We would keep calling and texting her and she would never answer. She finally replied 2 weeks before the wedding, without an apology, and stated the outfits were going to be here 1 week before our wedding. There was no time for any alterations. We were super annoyed that the outfits we decided on 13 months before arrived so late. My husband's sherwani was so loose on top and too short in length, and the bridal wedding day outfit had some areas that were still left unstitched. Between not knowing if we were going to get everything we paid for or not due to the ghosting and what actually came - it was overly stressful and a huge disappointment. Dealing with Banu was too much unnecessary added stress during what is supposed to be the happiest moment of our lives. Overall, out of all of our wedding vendors, she was the worst experience ever. She advertises that she can customize any outfit, but that was also a lie, we got only about 15% of the customizations we asked for. She does what she wants, however haphazardly she can. Save yourself the stress and choose someone who knows what they are doing and doesn't make fake promises or is rude to your family.

Mother-of-the-bride lehenga! Gorgeous customized lehenga with choli and chunni designed by BAnuDesigns for my daughter’s wedding in December. For the reception I was keen to wear an elegant, classy lehenga but couldn’t visualize or even describe more than that. When I walked into Anu’s boutique and looked around, I noticed this gorgeous ethnic style lehenga but not so-much the choli and chunni with it. Together we designed this maroon raw silk choli with the maroon organza chunni - minimal and sophisticated! I styled them with my own wedding gold tika, choker, karas and earrings. Loved wearing and getting the fabulous compliments. Thanks, Anu!

I would've love to work with B Anu designs as their designs were great but the designer was very hard to get in touch with. Didnt call me at our discussed appointment time and never answered my calls either. Replied to texts either vaguely or days late.I suspect it was because my budget may have been low, so if your budget isn't big, I recommend looking elsewhere.

Absolutely the best bridal designer any girl could ask for. Anu was invested into every single detail of my special day and made sure I had everything I wanted for my reception lengha. I was not unsure about anything during the whole process from where my lengha was in the completion process, when the lengha arrived due to me losing weight the top was a bit loose and she personally took me to the tailor to make sure my fitting was perfect and had the blouse ready next day!!! I also had a huge issue with my jaggo dress with another company, I was devastated when I saw my lengga made by this other company - Anu came through last minute and saved the day by making me a completely new outfit in a 2 week time frame. When you do your bridal designing with Anu you have the privilege of getting a friend that will be completely invested in your special day and making sure you feel like the most beautiful girl ever. Give her a shot you won't regret it!!!!

I got married last August and I had Anu design majority of my wedding outfits. As wedding planning is already super stressful I wanted someone who would be a one stop shop for me.Anu is very personable and easy to work with. She made choosing the fabrics, color and design seamless. Pictures below of mine and my husbands haldi outfit, husbands sangeet outfit, both of our wedding outfits (+jewelry) and mine and my sisters reception outfit.

I customized this rose pink lehenga from BAnuDesigns for my brother's wedding reception. Not only did I get endless compliments the whole night but I felt my best because every detail was tweaked to match my vision exactly. I started by visiting the showroom in Fremont and browsing the samples of the bridal and party wear. I saw the original design and fell in love with the embroidery on it. The sample came in a beautiful ice blue but I always knew that I wanted to wear pink, so Anu and her team worked with me to select the color shade exactly to what I wanted and also allowed me to customize the neck and blouse design further to match the more conservative style look that I wanted. We were able to chat further through text messaging to quickly finalize the details.After ordering, I first received a physical sample of the embroidery, the color of all the different beads, sequins, under linings for me to confirm. After confirming, I was able to get the full outfit on time -- which fit like an absolute glove by the way! -- although Anu offered alteration services, no further alterations were even required. Overall, the designs are unique and have that high quality "wow"-factor, but it's really the team's creativity and flexibility that allowed me to transform the outfit into my perfect dream outfit. There's quite literally nothing I would change about this outfit or my experience, a well-balanced masterpiece

B Anu Designs is known for amazing work on women's customized clothing designs. But fellas, look no further. As a recent B Anu Designs groom, I can say I had the best team working on my wedding sherwani. The owner and creative mind, Anu, customized my sherwani exactly to my liking. I wanted a very royal look and she nailed it. I even had some last minute changes that Anu graciously accommodated in a timely manner. I thank you Anu and the whole B Anu Team for their amazing work!

The design of my reception outfit by B Anu Designs left all my guests stunned, to say the least. Let's first start off with where it all began. When you first enter B Anu's studio, the options are endless. All of B Anu collection designs are unique, intricate, and inspiring. She has everything, from ethnic occasion outfit designs, to all your wedding dream looks. Even better is the amazing Owner and CEO herself, Anu Batra. Anu has the most welcoming, sweet and creative energy to her. I couldn't help but trust Anu with my vision and dream dress. She gives her undivided attention and a very customized experience.I was a very picky bride and she understood that right away. I wanted to wear black for my reception, as a statement color. Anu encouraged me not to wear a solid black dress. Her expertise lead us to customize the lehenga you see below. We picked copper and black as the tones, lots of sparkle, detachable shoulder dupatta attachments, and a lehenga with lots of movement. Anu and the whole B Anu team executed this assignment flawlessly. The lehenga not only fit like a glove, it was everything I wanted and more. I cannot thank Anu enough for making me feel like a like a princess, but also myself at the same time. THANK YOU ANU, AND B ANU DESIGNS Team!
