As soon as the wedding is fixed, the wedding planning begins full scale. Another major activity the bride needs to partake inthe shopping! Apart from the all the decisions a bride needs to make about her weeding venue, caterers, guest-list, etc. a lot of effort goes toward putting together the bridal trousseau too. Traditionally a bridal trousseau consists of everything a bride might need after she gets married, from clothes to daily necessities. Nowadays it's also about building a nice collection of beautiful Indian wear and accessories. Here are a few tips to consider while shopping for clothes:
Sarees make an excellent foundation for a comprehensive trousseau. Traditional sarees like Paithanis, Mysore Silks, Banarasi, Kanjeevaram and more, normally feature in an Indian bride's trousseau. Buying a few pretty and versatile sarees is a great addition not only as a part of your trousseau but something you will be able to wear and enjoy for a long time. A collection of casual, party or heavy sarees is always great to have. Saris in georgettes, chiffon, net and other lightweight materials with beautiful sequin, crystal, embroidery or bead work are always trendy and can be worn year round. Salwar suits are another common feature in most wedding trousseaus and for good reason!
Salwar suits are not only figure flattering but an outfit that can be worn for many occasions. Formal and festive salwar suits with silk, brocade, metallic work, crystals and other adornments are great additions to any wardrobe. Lovely rich colors like reds, maroons, yellows, greens etc. are considered to be the auspicious wedding colors. You can also buy a couple semi formal and casual salwar suits to round up the trousseau. Lehenga cholis are also popular nowadays both in bridal wear and an easy option for other formal occasions. Lehenga look sarees are also really popular nowadays.
While you will be buying some real jewelry, take a look at some costume pieces too. You get some really beautiful imitation jewelry nowadays with semi-precious stones, kundan work and antique work. Having a few pieces in your trousseau will be an easy go-to option when you need to get dressed for a fancy event and you can even match them to your new outfits.
Indian wear shopping websites offer some great selections too and many of them tailor your clothes to your specifications as well. Shopping for your bridal trousseau has never been easier!
