The showroom
A rail of finished pieces, and a design service behind it
Tehxeeb London is a bridal and occasion-wear showroom on Ilford Lane, serving Hindu, Muslim and Sikh weddings across East London. Rails of barat, valima and reception lehengas sit alongside sherwanis, guest outfits and a contemporary silk range, most pieces hand-finished with dabka, naqshi, crystal and pearl work.
Buy a finished piece from the rail, or start from a base design and refine it with the team: colour, embroidery density and fit adjusted to you, with alterations turned around on site.

Collections
Nikah & Mehndi

Craftsmanship
Embroidered by hand, fitted in Ilford
Most pieces carry dabka, naqshi, crystal and pearl embroidery hand-finished by workshops in Pakistan, then fitted and altered in the Ilford Lane showroom. A base design can be adjusted (embroidery, colour, fabric) and finished as your own piece.
Made-to-order bridal work is intricate and takes real time; the team recommend ordering well ahead of your date and confirming a delivery window when you place the order.

Before you visit
Can I buy a piece straight off the rail, or is everything made to order?
Both. The showroom carries finished bridal, formal and occasion pieces you can try and take, and the team can also start from a base design and adjust the embroidery, colour or fit as a made-to-order piece.
How far ahead should I order a bridal outfit?
Hand embroidery from workshops in Pakistan takes real time, so order as early as you can and agree a delivery window with the team when you place it, and ask in the showroom for a realistic timeline against your date.
Do you do alterations?
Yes, fittings and alterations are done in-house, including quick turnarounds where a customer is travelling for the wedding.
Do you dress the groom and guests too?
Yes, alongside the bridal ranges there's a menswear collection of sherwanis and a guest/festive range for the wider wedding party.
What are your prices like?
Pieces vary with fabric and embroidery, roughly from £110 for lighter occasion pieces up to £900 and above for a full hand-embroidered bridal lehenga. Ask in the showroom for pricing on a specific design or stock item.
