What girl doesn’t love a bit of glitz & glam in her lehenga? And mirror work lehenga is an ideal choice to satiate that desire. In the past few years, their popularity has soared immensely. We can credit the same to one designer the most. Don’t you know who that is already? It’s Abhinav Mishra. He has single-handedly revolutionised the market for mirror-work lehengas and has made them the most sought-after choice for both brides and bridesmaids.
However, that couldn’t have happened if women didn’t have such a soft spot for glimmer in their outfits already. With his immaculate art and breathtaking design, he was just able to ride on this emotion successfully. Many other designers benefitted from this wave and designed some pristine mirror-work lehengas themselves. And this blog is all about that.
We have scoured Instagram and found 14 designers who create mirror work lehengas straight out of your dreams. Price-range of each of them is included. Mirror-work on lehengas has to be done by hands and like zari work, it can’t be done using machines. This fact shoots up the price of these lehengas. More the mirror-work on a dress, higher the price. Let’s start with the list right away!
Best Mirror Work Lehenga Designers!
Abhinav Mishra
The master behind the craft has to be on the top of this list. Think about mirror-work lehengas and your mind automatically goes to Abhinav Mishra. He has successfully chosen one niche for his brand and conquered it. We love such designers, like Anita Dongre, no one can make light-weight printed lehengas better than her! The label started in 2009, and with the growth of social media, his popularity also soared. We can safely say he’s unparalleled in his field.
Considering he’s the best mirror-work lehenga designer, the prices of his lehengas start from around 70,000 and go upto 2 lakhs. Only a select few will cross 2 lakhs. Here are some of our favorites from his collection.
Akanksha Gajria
Beloved Indian designer whose collection boasts of loud colors, mirror work and tie-dye. ‘From the bottom of my colorful heart’ is her tagline and she always holds it close to her heart while designing the outfits. You’ll never find a mellow or soft color in her range – so pastel fans, she’s definitely not the designer for you. Just like Abhinav Mishra, she has held her niche since the inception of her brand, and we’re so in love with her range.
Her lehengas are priced quite similarly to Abhinav Mishra’s – between 1 to 2 lakhs. None will go above 2 lakh though.
Cherie D By Sherina Dalamal
Sherina Dalamal, the mind and artist behind Cherie D is known for her timeless, chic designs, customised as per the needs of the bride. Most of her collection boasts of elaborate handwork replete with beads, stones and embroideries. Some of her pieces also feature mirror-work & they’re all so dreamy – your eyes will be stuck on them instantly. Her store is in Mumbai, although she lives in LA, where she moved after getting married. Most of her bridal appointments happen online. Don’t worry though – she has helped many brides bring their vision to life through online collabs.
Cherie D is a luxe brand so expect the costs to be even higher than Abhinav Mishra & Akanksha Gajria, especially if it’s customised.
Monika Nidhi
If simplicity is your fashion style, Monika Nidhi’s collection will surely impress you! Many of their designs have beautiful mirror work done on them and unlike the other designers on this list, it’s done in an effortless yet elegant kind of manner. We love their monochrome outfits a bit too much. The detailing and quality fabric shines light on their dedication to serve the customer with the best. Something that’s easy to carry, unique and charming.
Their offline store is located in Shahpur Jat, New Delhi, although they have a fully functional e-commerce site where you can shop easily. The price range starts from around 70k and lehengas can go upto 3 lakhs.

Her creations have been donned by many fashion influencers and celebrities as well, a testimony to the quality she provides.

Suneet Varma:
A designer we have been crushing on a lot recently is Suneet Varma. His FDCI’s India Couture Week 2020 collection is absolutely heavenly and replete with mirror work. There’s just something about his mirror work lehengas that’s so different from other designers on the list. First is the vivid color base he uses and second the inconsistent sizes of mirrors. Employing these two edgy traits, he literally creates magic with mirror work. Not one designer in India creates or even comes close to the art he infuses into his clothes, and that’s why he is one of our favorites constantly.
Owing to the extraordinary creativity of his mirror-work lehengas, the price range starts from around 3 lakhs and can go up till 5 lakhs.
