Putting Together the Bridal Trousseau and Jewelry

Posted by Michael Griffin on September 13th, 2019

As a bride-to-be, every woman awaits wedding shopping and putting together a trousseau that will make the bride feel special. More than the purpose, it is the process and experience that is exceptional for the bride as it brings her closer to her mother on a different level. There are certain things without which the trousseau is not complete. 

There is a whole lot of things that you can include in your trousseau shopping, a few key Indian outfits, for example, is a great way to start. First of all, you can make a list of outfits you want like sarees, suits and indo-western. You can choose from a myriad of a-line suits, Anarkali, straight cuts and more. Along with clothes, accessories are also very important. You can buy accessories such as jewelry and clutches for wedding that will compliment all your bridal outfits.

The first thing that you will need are outfits for every occasion, from traditional to western and indo-western. You can buy some hand-embroidered clothes and even handcrafted clutches from renowned shops near you. You will find the most beautiful pieces and statement dupattas to go with solid color suits and other things, all unique in their own ways. 

Check out stores that offer funky and quirky prints or even fulfill your dose for different regional outfits like Banarsi and Bengali sarees or Rajasthani lehenga or even a combination of indo-western dresses that are so much in trend these days. Pick everything you like from silk sarees to cotton dresses and shoes with accessories like clutches. Handcrafted items and clothes are most incredible and the embroidery looks beautiful. 

While buys sarees keep in mind that you also need blouses and there is a shortcut you can take which will prove to be most beneficial for you. Rather than taking the headache of getting all your blouses hand-stitched, you can buy ready-made blouses with some great work of gota patti and beading work. Keep in mind to choose basic colors like black and gold or any other according to your requirement. Also, you can buy some versatile saree accessories. These items will add to the glam of your attires. 

The next thing that is essential is Bags and Clutches. Even though, it is natural that you will buy bags or clutches for a wedding occasion. We all have various bags for different occasions, for example, Sling bags for when you don’t need to carry many items in your bag, a tote bag for when you need to carry a lot of stuff with you and even backpacks so you can put your laptops and other big stuff. 

The trousseau has a completely different requirement of bags. A bride-to-be has a lot of things that she might need, which are all a small part of her trousseau. You can buy handbags and add a few party clutches for your collection. These clutches are intricately hand-stitched with an assortment of beads. Clutches carry a few items but enough for you to have your essentials in handy when the need arises. Keeping your budget in mind, you can purchase basic shades like black, gold, silver, and copper. These shades will go with all the outfits that you will buy. 

The last thing that will complete your trousseau is jewelry. How can we forget that? Bridal jewelry is very important because it is the thing that increases the beauty of a bride on her wedding day. Choosing the beautiful wedding jewelry is every girl’s dream but it is of utmost importance that you invest in jewelry that will be of use to you even after the wedding celebrations are over. 

These days, Diamond jewelry has the most appeal amongst brides. You can invest in Diamond earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces. Get a prior knowledge of stones, diamonds, and gems so that you can have a clear idea about what style you want. Buy jewelry only from trusted jewelers and put together a beautiful trousseau.
