Phulkari
Darned zigzags in silk thread, loud and Punjabi.
Darned zigzags in silk thread, drawn from Punjabi phulkari embroidery. Loud in the best way — for a Sangeet, a Jaggo, or an Anand Karaj with a dhol waiting outside.

Flower work, stitched for a daughter
Phulkari means flower work: the Punjabi embroidery darned in silk floss across coarse cotton, so densely that the cloth disappears under the thread. The most prized pieces, the bagh, were traditionally stitched by the women of a family over years for a daughter's wedding. This style takes its bold zigzags and bands.
It is loud in the way a Punjabi wedding is loud — generously, and with a dhol somewhere nearby. It is the card for a Sangeet, a Jaggo, or an Anand Karaj with the whole family arriving at once.
Good for
- Punjabi weddings and Anand Karaj
- Sangeet and Jaggo nights
- Rani, marigold or peacock
The style sets the envelope, the opening card, the dividers and the closing, and the typeface your names are set in. Everything else is the same in every style — each guest greeted by name, only their celebrations, directions to each venue — and it can be changed at any time, even after the invitation has been sent.
