7 Stores in Delhi to Explore for Budget Trousseau Shopping | #TSDBridalDiary
Thursday, 17 May 2018
Hey everyone!
Earlier when I used to hear from my friends that bridal shopping has taken a toll upon them, I used to wonder how could shopping be ever so difficult? After all I have been shopping almost entire my life and love every part of it.
But when I had to complete my trousseau shopping within a month, I understood all the pain that goes into buying all the clothes, accessories and jewellery that you would be needing for your wedding functions as well as those family lunches and dinners immediately after the wedding.
That's why here I am listing seven stores that I explored in Delhi for all my bridal trousseau needs, without breaking the bank (and trust me, I completed my shopping within two weeks as I had prepared a list of exactly what I wanted and which stores to visit) :
- Meena Bazaar : I have been visiting Meena Bazaar (both the chains) since more than 5-6 years now, especially every time I needed to buy ethnic wear for a family function or wedding.
Infact, more than half of my ethnic wardrobe is from Meena Bazaar (I shopped a lot from their store in GIP, Noida and Ansal Plaza, Ludhiana). Therefore, when it came to my own trousseau shopping, I knew I could trust them once again as they offer beautiful designs in sarees and suits (anarkalis or salwar suits) which start from prices as low as Rs 2000.
If you are looking for heavy suits for the family functions post wedding, you should definitely visit them for trendy cape anarkalis, palazzo suits and sharara suits.

- Nalli : I don't wear sarees usually, but my mom thought that I definitely needed a couple of classy silk sarees for formal occasions post wedding.
So, without a doubt in my mind, I took her to Nalli Sarees in South Ex where not only she picked a couple of sarees for herself but also a dozen of them as gifts for our family and friends.
Not only you would find the most beautiful and trendy silk sarees at Nalli, but also amazing fabrics that you can get designed as per your mood.
- Aza Fashions : The multi-designer online portal also has a store in South Ex and if you're lucky, you will find a lot of designer apparel on sale here.
While I didn't find anything suitable for my trousseau during my visit, I did love the collection of gowns and lehengas they had which you can pick for your pre-wedding functions like mehendi and sangeet.
- Soni Sapphire : While I wore real jewellery for my rota and engagement functions, I didn't want to invest in heavy gold jewellery for the wedding functions as I knew I won't be able to wear them later.
So, I ended up visiting Soni Sapphire in Lajpat Nagar and picked the entire bridal jewellery in that not only completed my D-day look but also wasn't heavy on the pocket. You can also find semi-precious sets and costume jewellery for your pre-wedding functions.
- W for Woman : I didn't invest money in a lot of heavy outfits as I know I will wear them only a few times. Instead, I picked casual Kurtis and palazzos from W for Woman, which are perfect for work as well as for casual outings with your family or friends.
- La Senza : Now I know La Senza is not a budget brand, but, if you follow their Facebook page - they regularly update their mid-season and season-end sale.
- Nykaa : If online shopping is not your thing and you are looking at visiting one store to complete your vanity kit, I would recommend visiting the Nykaa store so that you can try all the cosmetics that you want in person and pick up the best offers.

I mostly do my cosmetics shopping at Nykaa or Sephora and have shared the summer skincare products I am currently using in this post too.
Apart from these stores, you can also visit the following stores for your trousseau needs :
Glittire by Sakshi Verma - Not only I got my roka and mehendi outfit designed from her, she also customised two beautiful dresses for my trousseau in the budget that I had. Her boutique is located in Shivalik, Delhi.
Not recommending this designer anymore, as not only I received a faulty dress from her that bled even before I had a chance to wear it - but also she refused to take a responsibility for the same - and I don't appreciate brands or designers who try to cheat customers by giving them faulty fabrics.
- Bata - I have been a fan of their shoes since ages, and always pick casual ballerinas from them every few months. Also, you can check their Marie Claire collection for the most comfortable heels that I have ever owned.
- Private Lives - Now, I didn't find anything fancy in this little lingerie store located in GK 1, M-Block market but a couple of my friends were lucky to find pretty nightwear during their earlier trips.
So, have you explore any of the above stores before? If you would like to recommend more places for bridal shopping in Delhi, do share the same in Comments below!

Hey everyone!
I am back with an Outfit Post which dates back to a couple of weeks when I attended a friend's wedding in Panipat. I am a pure Punjabi who loves north-Indian weddings with all of the glitz, glamour and ofcourse the yummy food. Ever since I came to Delhi-NCR three years back to do my MBA and later on a job, I have missed quite many weddings. So finally when I got the wedding invite, I was more than happy to finally go shopping for Ethnic Wear.
With voluminous Anarkali suits being the trend of the season, I decided to buy one and I found a beautiful suit at Meena Bazaar ( EDM Mall, East Delhi ). The suit features turquoise blue self design material at the bust and a net material flowing till the ankles. The best part is the deep back with golden tie-up and the crochet lace at the hemline.
Up next was the selection of accessories - as the suit had an embroidered dupatta and full sleeves in net, I decided to pair it up only with matching danglers and my search ended at Juvalia & You with these Seashore earrings studded with Aqua and blue stones. Juvalia & You offers amazing international styles in fashion jewellery and also offers Indian women a career alternative.
I finished the look with a pair of nude pumps from Forever 21 and a Lavie shimmer clutch.
Have a look at the pictures below :
