So with all these pastel trends and people like oh yeah pastel pastel or rust orange or yellow.. I looked at those sarees through video call with aunt’s friend. I didn’t like the orange or yellow and the peach was too light.So, the red ones they showed didn’t have the best design and I tend to not like bright red. But the auntie already paid for the saree and now I feel like I’d feel more bridal in maroonish saree…

But it’s too late. Is this a normal feeling? My second saree is gold with red border and blouse. Idk… 🤷‍♀️. I live in America and wedding js coming up in 2 months. Ticket prices were too high and I’m too tired to go to India so my aunt’s friend was helping with saree selection. The wedding is in the morning in a temple with windows and lots of natural light..

Hi, need a bit of help.
I am looking for stores in delhi to purchase groom's outfits.

After digging deep down on pernia's I have realised I like a little subtle work with asymmetric designs and plenty of negative space.

Outfits I require

Indowestern for Sangeet - Budget : Rs 50k
Reference pics of things I liked ( 1,2,3,4)

Kurta with jacket for mehandi carnival (day function)- Budget : Rs 25k - Reference pic (5,6,7,8)

Kurta with jacket for another day function)- Budget : Rs 25K - Reference pic (5,6,7,8)

Any store recommendations would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I bought this Lehenga and choli to wear to my friends wedding but when I talked to my other friends attending they said they are just wearing formal western dresses. The wedding is this weekend so I’m under a deadline but I have western formal options to wear so please give your opinion!

I included a picture of her dress code too.

So I have a few questions:

1. Is it odd to wear this as a white guest when western wear is welcome? I wanted to be respectful of her and her fiancés culture but I also don’t want to appropriate.
2. If I do wear it, is the outfit I bought formal enough? (It’s more sparkly in person but still, I feel like the dupatta doesn’t match as well as it should)

For context they are just doing a Baraat and ceremony then going straight to the reception so we are expected to just wear one formal outfit.

Please be honest I will not be offended! I have formal western dresses that would be appropriate!

I wanted to wear a red saree for my wedding and it was kinda difficult to find it in Bangalore in budget. Really glad how it turned out. Thanks to this community for helping me out find this beautiful saree ❤️

Hi, I am a 2027 bride and have started scanning the market a bit for my wedding outfit. My inspiration is as below with a budget of Rs. 1.5lakhs
Earlier I was eager to visit Fabbat in Mohali and look at their pieces however, after researching a bit I think they will be out of my budget and hence asking for guidance towards more budget friendly options.
I am okay to travel to cities nearby Delhi and also Mumbai (as I frequently visit).

Many months ago, I had posted my wedding lehenga options in this forum!
And i had gotten soo many positive comments so I thought I’ll share how it turned out on the D Day :D

Cannot believe the wedding is over now! But here’s the look!

White, American and hubby and I are invited to Sikh wedding/ceremonies. Formal Indian attire is allowed and I’m excited. I want to make sure I’m not going too overboard or not formal enough so help in navigating is appreciated. I was looking at the blue one for the Sangeet, the pink one for the Anand Karaj and the green for the Hindu Wedding. Are any of these not appropriate? Any and all info is appreciated. Thank you

Hi, I'm 24F who is getting married in june last week. Personally, I like being simple and elegant all my life and it had reflected in my wedding outfits choices. This mustard yellow lehanga is what I chose to wear on my reception. My mom said it was well and good at the time of shopping and i bought it. Now, she sent the photo to the relatives and they are like 'oh ho it is too simple for a bride' and blah blah blah. Now she is scolding me for buying something simple. She not only blaming my reception outfit but also my wedding saree. About that it needs a different post because she fucking made me cry over it because her best friend and her sister in law had something to say.

Update: My mom decided to get me a new one. She said she is going to buy fabric and stitch it. I do trust her styling choices and her selection but the thing is I'm done and tired of being suppressed. I have no say in anything and it is my wedding is what frustrates me. Everyone has got something to say and I don’t. I buy something I like for once and they are changing it.

I recently went wedding lehenga shopping and almost everything I saw had gaudy yellow gold designs whereas I wanted something subtle and definitely not overly bright.

I stumbled upon this lehenga and actually loved the color and the comparatively simple work on it. The price quoted is ₹51,000.

Unfortunately, I don’t have pictures of the blouse or dupatta because the store didn't allow photography. However, the blouse material has a lot of work on it similar to the embroidery at the bottom of the skirt.

I showed it to a friend who told me it doesn’t even look worth ₹20k which has left me completely confused and stressed. I honestly know nothing about fabrics, material quality or embroidery.

Since I'm based in Kerala, we don’t have manufacturing hubs like Chandni Chowk or Surat nearby. My only real options are local retail stores and boutiques but they charge a lot for customizations.

What do you think? Does this look worth the 51k price tag or am I overpaying? Any advice on how to judge the quality would be helpful.

Jewellery suggestions please.should i go for real gold jewellry or polki kundan jewellry with green jewels.

Hi. Ignorant American here, (thats mostly a joke), I know this sub is for weddings but the mofs wouldn't let me post in Indian fashion so sincw I believe this is a bridal skirt I thought Id try here. I got a couple of things from a storage unit auction and they interested me so instead of just finding out what they are worth, I thought I'd find a community and learn a bit about the culture. All I really know is that this was hand made, I believe the marerial is raw silk. the metal thread work is called zardozi and the skirt is a lehenga. Unfortunately I did not find a top or arm cloth... told ya I was ignorant... I also found these two necklaces which I'm 90% sure are costume jewelry, a bag from a company called Zara, and a knife with a wooden scabbard. Anyway I'd love to hear what you all think about these and any info or history would be welcomed. Thank you for your time. -Rich

We just had our engagement photos done, and I’m obsessed!! I’m half Indian and really wanted some photos in a lengha. Outfits are from lashkara and my other dress is fashion nova.
