Trousseaus are special, not only for their monetary value but also for the sentiments they hold. Starting a new and most important chapter of your life has to begin with all things exceptionally special. A classy bridal trousseau includes royal traditional sarees, lehengas, contemporary outfits, statement-making jewellery, comfortable footwear, quirky bags, elite make up and much more. Well, it’s the time to pamper yourself – so why not!!!
Must-have outfits
A bride has to take care of a zillion things, from trousseau shopping, trousseau packing ideas for wedding, to venue hunting and salon visits. In a small attempt to simplify things for her, we have noted a few must-have outfits that cannot be missed at any cost, and which every bride should have on her bridal trousseau list.
- Bright lehenga sets for main ceremonies– A heavily embellished lehenga in silk, brocade, organza, or velvet, which will make the bride look like a diva on the D-day, is the most important outfit, and should be chosen keeping in mind the weather, your body type, theme of the wedding, and your personal taste.
- Pastel/comfortable sarees & lehengas for mehendi & haldi– Lightweight and slightly embellished sarees and lehengas in georgette, chiffon, and satin look elegant on ceremonies like mehendi, Ganesh pooja or chooda ceremony and are an essential part of the trousseau.
- Stylish Indo-Western gowns for receptions – Figure-flattering Indowestern gowns are very trending these days, and there is no way you don’t add them to your bridal trousseau list. Gowns with stunning fabrics and great cuts will make you look out of the world at functions like a reception or engagement ceremony.
- Vibrant sharara/palazzo sets for pre-wedding functions – Eye-catching sharara sets and palazzo sets are those versatile outfits that can always be banked upon and thus a mandate for every bride. Be it the haldi ceremony or a small pooja at home, these ensembles are your BFF’s and will make you look adorable.
Outfit Ideas for the Trousseau
- Ceremonial Lehengas for Weddings: Traditional lehengas with rich zardozi, sequins, cut dana and embroidery in bright hues like red, fuchsia, and burgundy are non-negotiable outfits. Believe me, these stunning ensembles make you look like a goddess at the main ceremonies, like the pheras.
- Pastel Sarees & Lightweight Lehengas: While heavily embellished ensembles are common for main ceremonies, lightweight sarees and lehengas in pastel shades like lemon yellow, pink, pista green are most apt for your haldi and mehendi ceremonies and will allow you to enjoy the celebrations with ease.
- Indo-Western Gowns for Receptions: Indian outfits have now made way for Indo-western gowns that give you a contemporary look. One thing I can swear by is that these majestic gowns, like fish cut gowns, gowns with ruffled sleeves, gowns with trails, etc, make you look spectacular on your special day.
- Sharara & Palazzo Sets for Pre-Wedding Functions: Are you aware of the attire women are crazy about these days? Yes, I’m talking about the vibrant sharara sets and stylish palazzo sets that add a fun element to your trousseau. They are perfect choices for pre-wedding functions like sangeet ceremony or cocktail night, and make you look gorgeous effortlessly.
Accessories to Complete the Trousseau
If you thought shopping for designer clothes is all you need for your trousseau, you are highly mistaken, my friend. Accessories that elevate and complete your look are an important part of the trousseau and should definitely be there on your bridal trousseau list.
- Captivating chokers, long necklaces, jhumkas, maang tikka: Dazzle and shine as you adorn polki, kundan, diamond jewellery like chokers, necklaces, bangles, maang tikka, jhumkas, rings, etc, with your bridal outfits and look like a princess. Make sure your jewellery is in sync with the embroidery and the colour of your bridal outfit for a harmonious look.
- Matching clutches, potlis, embellished footwear: Matching sequined, cut dana clutches, neutral-toned potli bags, embellished and comfortable footwear are not just accessories to glam you up but essentials that can make your wedding ceremonies hassle-free and comfortable. Purchase the best quality from KALKI, and don’t forget to thank me later.
- Hair accessories for different functions: Weddings are all about bling, shine and going over the top to look magnificent. Hair accessories add an extra oomph to your look. Some of the popular hair accessories are floral maang tikkas for haldi or mehendi ceremony, tiaras for engagement ceremony, and matha pattis or maang tikka for the wedding day.
