The indian wedding trousseau

Indian / Asian Trousseau (pronounced True-soh)
The definition of Trousseau is:- The possessions, such as clothing, jewellery and linens, that a bride assembles for her marriage.

Asian Brides should ultimately decide on an outfit which is not only beautiful and complimentary in cut and style to their body, but also comfortable. Another important factor for the bride to be is that bridal outfits are not just about embroidery but also about placement and fitting, it has to sit well on you. You wedding photographer will capture you in this outfit and these captured moments will be a lifetime of memories so the Trousseau has to be perfect.

Shopping for your indian wedding outfit in India

Indian brides these days travel to India to look for variety and choice when selecting their Trousseau. Mumbai & Delhi are the traditional stops for the bride. But with the rising of larger cities in India, places like Ahemdabad, Baroda & Surat have sprung up offering a unique style and at lower costs.

Research & gather information

Before the India shopping trip browse through the various Asian Bridal magazines for ideas on the latest colour, cuts and styles. The shops in india not actively update their websites so we feel it doesn’t help when searching from the UK. Start to compile a list of shop names and locations where friends and family went for their Indian Trousseau shopping. Who were they happy with, which gave them personal and prompt service. who have gone on similar shopping trips to recommend places where they were happy with the service.?

Ready to wear vs haute couture

The decision is yours and often, budget and time are the key deciders on this decision. Yes India has a huge choice of shopping outlets for those ready to wear bridal outfits which require basic tailoring only, but you may also consider the relatively cheap cost of getting a outfit designed from scratch just for you and with your own unique embroidery designs.

Alterations

Its vital that you double check the main bridal outfit is as you told the tailor or shop. Always give the tailor 2 days before you intend to fly out of the city to buy you time incase things go wrong. It MUST sit well on you and fit perfectly with no imperfections. It will otherwise cost you much more to find an expert tailor in the UK who can ajust the outfit.

The disadvantage of buying an outfit overseas and or so much in advance of your wedding is that you may lose weight in the run up to the wedding and may cause you anxiety as the outfit may not fit properly on the wedding week and may need further tailoring. Some fashion houses in the UK tend to discourage going overseas for your main outfit for this main reason. With a UK Couture, you can visit your designer as often as you like but as explained its at a high price tag. The decision is yours...
