A lehenga catalogue for wedding boutiques should show what a bride cannot judge from a flat photo: the fall of the skirt, the work on the blouse and the way the dupatta is worn. Plan each piece with a few deliberate shots rather than one lead image.
What a bride wants to see
- The full outfit on a model, front and back.
- A close-up of the embroidery or work, so the quality is visible.
- How the dupatta is draped or styled.
- The true colour, because a wedding colour that is slightly off is a returned order.
Shot plan by tier
| Tier | Shots to plan | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bridal hero pieces | Front, back, close-up of work, styled dupatta | High value, bought on trust |
| Engagement and sangeet | Front, back, one detail | Fewer shots are usually enough |
| Guest and festive lehengas | Front and one detail | Faster decisions, lower ticket |
Shooting and generating
- 1. Photograph each piece flat
Skirt, blouse and dupatta separately, steamed, evenly lit, with a close-up of the work.
- 2. Upload to Drape Studio
Drape Studio takes the skirt, blouse and dupatta fabrics separately for a lehenga.
- 3. Pick the model and style
Use the same model and setting across the collection, so the catalogue reads as one range.
- 4. Review against the garment
Check colour first, then the work, the length and the dupatta. Redo any shot that is off.
Sharing the catalogue
Brides and families share catalogues with each other, so make yours easy to forward: one clear photo per piece with its design code in the file name, and your contact details on the page. A PDF per occasion and a handful of images for chat cover most needs.
How do I make a lehenga catalogue for my boutique?
Photograph skirt, blouse and dupatta flat, upload them to Drape Studio, generate on-model photos with the same model and setting, then group the catalogue by occasion.
How many photos should each lehenga have?
Bridal hero pieces deserve a front view, a back view, a close-up of the work and a styled dupatta shot. Simpler pieces can use fewer.
Can I upload the skirt, blouse and dupatta separately?
Yes. For a lehenga, Drape Studio takes the skirt, blouse and dupatta fabrics separately.
How do I show the embroidery properly?
Take a tight, well-lit close-up of the work and include it as a detail shot alongside the full outfit.
How should I share a lehenga catalogue with brides?
Send a PDF per occasion and a few images for chat, each with the design code and your contact details.
