Wedding shopping was never easier

Move over mamis and chachis. The bride-to-be now has experts to help pick her bridal gear and to take on the stress of building a complete trousseau. Stylists, designers and image consultants all rolled into one.

Months before the bride takes pheras with her groom, she has established a committed relationship with someone else – her personal shopper. This is a relationship she regards with equal sanctity as her marital union, because she and her shopper have come to understand each other’s needs and adjusted to each other’s rhythm. The goal of this alliance is clear: to find the perfect lehenga.

"Don’t shop too much in advance; trends keep changing. Always pick an outfit in your current body size, not smaller. If you lose weight, it can be altered."

"Pick classic pieces that you can wear even 10 years from now. Focus on good-quality fabric and embellishments. Throw in a few modern elements for a unique look, like a statement jacket, palazzos, and a cocktail sari."
