11 printed lehenga choli sets your festive wardrobe needs right now

Lightweight ensembles that allow freedom of movement will always win over heavy, restrictive ones when it comes to festive wear. Which is why we’re electing printed ensembles—especially lehenga choli sets—as our go-to outfits for the upcoming summer wedding season. Bollywood’s leading celebrities have given it their nod of approval, too—there’s Alia Bhatt’s romantic pink Anushree Reddy lehenga choli that she picked for her best friend’s wedding, and Katrina Kaif’s ocean blue printed lehenga choli set by Anita Dongre that she wore for Shloka Mehta and Akash Ambani’s recent wedding.

Whether the prints are done by hand or are digital iterations, these lehenga choli sets are great to have on hand for events that need you to stay mobile. While floral prints never fail with their universal appeal, these designer picks offer different varieties—there’s Tarun Tahiliani’s Egyptian-inspired floral printed lehenga choli set; Anushree Reddy’s ethereal version featuring dreamy flowers; Surendri by Yogesh Chaudhary’s hand-painted take on geometric florals; Anita Dongre’s variation that is replete with motifs of the lush forests of Ranthambore; Payal Singhal’s pick that pays homage to flowers of different varieties. Colour palettes range from every shade from pastels to bright hues, and even dark colours, if that’s your aesthetic.

Blouse designs feature traditional choli variations as well as contemporary styles, like an off-shoulder look, or a bustier layered with a cropped shrug. Scroll ahead for 11 printed lehenga choli sets that will take you through the summer wedding season.
