There are a lot of things that goes on a bride’s mind while putting together the trousseau that she will cherish for life.
A trousseau is usually a lavish affair. Previously, brides used to buy or they were to buy a lot of things that they didn’t even use for once. In the present times, brides have become smarter and very careful while choosing pieces for their trousseau. They try to go for outfits which are classy, stylish, versatile and obviously can be used in the long run, for various occasions.
This article is our take on the type of wedding dresses that the brides should include in her trousseau.
Heavy-Embroidered Ethnic Outfits
Indian ethnic outfits are glamorous and they have a charm of their own. But adding too many heavy outfits on your trousseau may not be a very smart choice. Why so? Because you get to wear them rarely. Rather go for Indian suits or designer sarees that have intricately designed dupatta or heavy blouse which you can mix and match according to the occasions. Also, add a nice pair juttis to your trousseau because they are comfortable and supremely versatile.
Comfortable Ethnic Dresses
Brides can invest smartly in comfortable ethnic dresses, printed or lightly embroidered/embellished. These are usually very versatile, and can be worn both an ethnic outfit with leggings/cigarette pants, dupatta and silver jhumkas. You can team a pair of sneakers and a short jacket probably to wear it the Indo-western way. You can also wear those easily at work.
Light Lehengas
These are a must for every Indian wedding, and are perfect for the occasions when you need to look at your best but are not a mood to dress very heavy. Light lehengas also allow you to experiment a lot with accessories, makeup and hair. You can either keep them simple or go for heavier, statement pieces.
Sharara Suits
Sharara suits and flared pants have made a grand comeback and we are so glad that they made its way to our wardrobes. They are simple, super comfortable, yet make their presence felt among the mass. If you want to wearing something flowy, but don’t wanna go for a lehenga or skirt, definitely go for the Sharara suits that comes handy and suits all body types.
A Chic, Designer Saree
While no other outfit can replace the grace that a 6-yard saree provides, pre-draped designer sarees could be an alternative to the new brides. They are convenient, easy to wear and best for the beginners, who still haven’t mustered the art the saree draping. All you need to do is drape the pallu over your left shoulder, and secure it tightly with a safety pin or a classy, decorative brooch. The fall of the saree and the draping is just as perfect as your usual saree.
