Poonam – The wedding season in India starts in November. I doubt that people wait for shopping for their wedding trousseau until after shrad. Let me know if you have more questions.
Sonam – The budget for Lehenga and Saris totally depends on your wedding budget. Typically Wedding Attire and Jewelry is 15% of the wedding budget in the United States. This includes:
Bridal Saris/ Lehengas for the Ceremony and Reception
Bride’s lingerie
Bride’s jewelry for Ceremony and Reception
Wedding Bands
Bride’s shoes
Hair and makeup (including Mehendi)
Groom’s Sherwani/ Tuxedo and Shoes for the Ceremony and Reception
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Parul – Can you please let me know where you are located? If you are in Delhi – then I would suggest visiting stores in Chandni Chowk to find something in your budget.
Abha – Bridalwear is consistently the same price in Delhi. There are rarely any sales on Lehengas. Wedding season in India starts from November, and typically runs through the summer. If you go around Diwali, I would suggest selecting your outfits, especially, if you are ordering custom lehengas. That way around Christmas you can go collect your outfits and do a final fitting. Let me know if you have more questions.
Sujata, You can go to a number of places. Please refer to the list in this post for area wise location of stores. Let me know your budget, and which area in Delhi you would like to shop from and I can suggest accordingly.
yes neha m put up in south delhi ..can u plz suggest some names of shop ..
Parul – try and look at stores in South Extension and Lajpat Nagar that I have listed in this post.
hey,
Neha i just went through your blog, am just searching out for which place shud i prefer shopping for my wedding, Mumbai or Delhi? My criteria are- Dresses with heavy work and also some simple yet elegant ones. – Light yet elegant work Lehenga for wedding.
My priority is that prices should be reasonable as spending heavily behind wedding dress is Not what I’m looking for.
Hi Rama – Thanks for writing! Can you give me more specifics? What is your budget? Where are you currently located? What is your style? Based on your preferences, I will be able to advise better. Thanks!
Hello Neha my style of dressing is simple yet trendy,The lehnga Should be bit heavy in the range of 30-40k,which i will be buying for my wedding day ,and i want to do some shopping where i would like to shop some dresses and sarees of not so very high range. do you have any idea where should i shop in Mumbai or Delhi so that i can gt lot of choices with lots of varieties adding to it..Awaiting for your reply Thankss in Advance
Hi there!
Coming to Delhi for a week from Canada. Where should I target my shopping if I’m looking for ready made?
Thanks!
Hi Rama – I would suggest shopping in a city where you have more contacts/family, and have an easy mode of transportation. Both the cities have their pros and cons. If either of the cities are closer, than you may want to chose that over the other. You can find outfits according to what you are looking for in both those cities. Hope this helps!
Hi Ruchi – Your best bet would be to go to South Extension, Lajpat Nagar, and GK. These areas are all in South Delhi, and so travel times would not be long when going from one marketplace to another. I would also suggest that you go to bigger stores as opposed to designers, since designers custom make stuff, and that takes a long time. Let me know if you have other questions

Hi, My wedding is near and I want to buy a simple, less gaudy and not with typical stone work. A lahanga that seems to be sober and elegant like the one on this blog (the one for reception). I went to some Chandani Chowk shops but everything was too bright. My budget is 30-35k. Please suggest me if it is feasible to get such a lahanga in this range. If yes, which market would be the best for it?
Thanks
I found great pieces at Frontier Raas and Roop Sarees both in South Ex! Reasonably priced as well!
