The fashion-driven evolution of the Indian bridal trousseau reflects the transformation of Indian women.
The motivational phrase, ‘Today is the first day of the rest of your life’ has a far greater significance when it comes to the wedding day. Suddenly the phrase takes on an entirely different meaning altogether. This is why, the wedding trousseau has a very special place in every woman’s heart.
The colour, style and ceremonial importance varies as per the religion and culture. For instance, in western cultures, brides often choose a white wedding dress, while in eastern cultures like India, brides mostly choose red to symbolise auspiciousness.
The bridal trousseau needs to be planned in careful detail. The apparel for every ceremony has to be selected keeping its importance in mind. The time of year and temperature must also be taken into account while selecting items. The fashion-driven evolution of the Indian bridal trousseau over the past several years, reflects the rapid transformation of Indian women in urban areas to a large extent. The basic aim is to combine apparel with jewellery and accessories to create an overall look that is in sync with the bride’s personality. You can opt for an ethnic approach with designs that utilise draping to make the bride look chic or the western style where the cut spells class. Several brands facilitate the process.
