It’s always a good idea to start with wedding exhibitions. They usually have a great mix of wedding vendors - high end designers, local boutiques, new artisans etc. You’ll be able to get an idea of the trends and price points post which you can personally visit the exhibitors along with the famous wedding stores of your city. Pastels are huge this season and a great option for the bride who wants to let go of red. They look good all around the year and you can accessorize them depending on how heavy or subtle you want your look to be.

What are the things I should pay close attention to during the fittings?
Always remember to carry the wedding day heels along when you go for fittings. They are essential to get the right length of the lehenga. Also, do keep in mind that the ceremony will require you to bend quite a bit so it’s always better to go in for a neckline that you will be comfortable in.
So bend over, move your arms fully up and down (to check the blouse fitting), walk around with the heels and lehenga on to see if the weight and can-can are perfect for you, pin the odhni to your head to see if you will be able to bear it’s weight for 8 hours.
Why do people say that one must buy the wedding jewellery before the lehenga?
This is true in case of real jewellery since a sone ka haar or a polki set would cost a lot more than the lehenga. And it’s always better to buy the more expensive thing first so you can match the lehenga to it and not the other way round. If you’re planning to wear imitation or semi precious stones, you have the liberty of picking up your lehenga first.
I am trying to lose weight for the big day. How do I go about the lehenga fittings then?
*Whether you’re going in for a ready-made piece or a customized lehenga, do make sure there is enough margin in the lehenga for last minute alterations. maharani designer boutique amritsar
