How to buy a designer Wedding Trousseau for Indian wedding?

 Are you on the verge of your wedding? That’s wonderful! As the date arrives near, the busyness of booking the venue to finding the designer for the trousseau increases. If you are about to have a big fat Indian wedding then preferably you would choose a lehenga or a saree as your wedding dress or what they call trousseau in the West. Despite the wedding dress, you also need to purchase quite a few sets of silk block print kurta set, line tussar dresses, sarees, and various other ethnic Indian dresses during the wedding.

Top designers often provide a complete package for the brides and grooms that comes out to be quite beneficial as Indian weddings have multiple functions and the brides and grooms have to get perfectly prepared for each of them from haldi, mehendi, and sangeet before the wedding. Besides the jazzy and expensive clothes, the couples also need casual clothes for which the bride’s family picks sanganeri kurti sets to stay comfortably before and after the grand ceremony.

Let’s explore some steps to buy a designer wedding trousseau for your Indian wedding—

Choose your favorite designer 

On the first go, you need to visit your selected designer. Before taking any drastic decision, you should do your research on the types of designs they do on the wedding lehengas and the groom’s attire. If you are recently influenced by the wedding dress of any celebrity, then you can also approach that designer to help you create the wedding lehenga or saree. Likewise, you can also pick a kaftan kurti set made of pure silk or tussar with fine embellishment work on it to wear for the haldi or any such occasion.

Therefore, keep visiting the studios of your shortlisted designers physically and before the initial talk and exploration of the recently designed trousseaus, you can approach a designer who along with the team will make you the perfect bride that you always dreamt of.

Talk about your choices before the final design

Unlike the wedding lehenga shopping from a retail store, along with an indigo kurta set, kaftans, and other dresses for the ceremony- the designers will take your appointment to have a face-to-face discussion about your preferences.

You should talk your heart out regarding the designs and the color combination as you must remember that it will be your final opportunity to let the designer and the team know about your choices.

They will create a final draft of the design and will call you on a given date. After checking out the final design, if you agree, they will continue with creating the trousseau.

Sometimes, the designer should have some pre-designed collections from where they ask you to choose a saree or a lehenga that they can customize for you. Top designers usually follow this concept unless you are not restricted within any budget and request them to re-create the trousseau for you.

You should visit the designer a year before the wedding as the designers often take time for over a year considering the exclusivity of the wedding lehenga they stitch.

5 Dresses Your Summer Wardrobe Should Have

 When people of the West embrace summer after confronting the chilling winter, people in the eastern countries, mainly South Asian countries have to gear up to give a tough fight to the scorching heat they experience. Thus, Indians, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and Pakistani women mainly focus on shopping for cotton clothes like hand block print kurta sets, cotton dresses, angrakha, Anarkali suits and so on to beat the heat of the months, particularly from late March until the onslaughts of the fall season.

If you are an Indian and have to go out quite often in the sun whether for attending your college, university, jobs or for any errand, wearing a summer-friendly ajrakh kurta set is all that you need. Add cotton, chiffon, crepe, and linen fabrics to your summer wardrobe. Likewise, pick your accessories. Choose lightweight regular jewellery, shoes and even khadi bags to complete your summer look.

Here are the five dresses your summer wardrobe should have—

Cotton co-ord sets 

 Despite keeping a huge stock of cotton sanganeri print kurti sets, opt for buying cotton co-ord sets. Co-ords are twin dresses where the top and bottom are made of the same fabric and the same print. You can wear these dresses at your workplace as well as pick up your child from school.

Besides the formal and semi-casual, you can pick a party wearable co-ord set whether with hot pants and miniskirts with a tank top and shrugs. From attending summer parties to enjoying your beach holidays, these wearable ensures sheer comfort, style and trend.

Block print cotton kurta & short tops

Despite picking up a few tops and kurtas of plain texture, you can also go for indigo print kurti sets or co-ords. These Kathiawari block prints or indigo-dyed fabrics rule across India, making indigo kurtis, tops, kaftans, and dresses hot-selling pieces throughout the country.

Besides purchasing long kurtas on sanganeri blocks and indigo, your closet should also have short tops whether with sleeves or noodle straps to pair up with your skirts or trousers.

Pick khadi pants instead of jeans 

If you love wearing jeans then to be honest, Indian summers don’t approve of jeans. Instead, pick up 10% khadi cotton pants for are made of more breathable fabric that can keep you cool and less sweaty throughout the day. Those who have to stay outdoors can also pick cotton trousers along with a khadi cotton shirt in block prints or threadwork to stay comfortable in the sun for longer hours.

Indigo & kalamkari cotton dresses 

Wear cotton dresses for summer. Despite being an evergreen and all-season favourite women’s attire, cotton dresses can be your ideal summer wearable whether you’re off to your workplace or any event.

Summer jackets are a must 

Summer jackets created of linen fabrics or 100% cotton material give a distinct sharpness to your entire look. Your closet should have a white, black and navy blue jacket that you can mix and match with any summer dress you pick. Even with cotton pants and a shirt, such a jacket will lift your formal avatar.
