STORE REVIEW : Chandni Chowk, Sudhir Bhai

Sudhir Bhai has certainly been a favorite haunt of Brides-to-be in Delhi for many years. Somehow I never got around to visiting it during my wedding shopping, so when it was my brother's turn to tie the knot I decided that atleast one of my dress would be from Chandni Chowk!

I went on a weekday around lunch time, so thankfully there wasn't much crowd, but as the time progressed it feels as if ever single bride in town has arrived at Sudhir Bhai. Its always better to go on a weekday and even better still as early as possible. While the staff is polite and Sudhir Bhai himself tries to accommodate everyone, the sheer amount of number makes it impossible to wait on everyone.

Infact I once went on a Saturday around 2, and we had to leave empty handed without even seeing one inch of anything after waiting for 45min, that is the amount of traffic Sudhir Bhai gets!

But once you have the undivided attention of a Salesman the number of possibilities he brings in front of you are so many! Now when I went in I had restrictions :

And the lehenga of the year award goes too...

Really you don't know this?? You don't know which lehenga I would 'declare' as the lehenga of the year!

Well if its your first time on the blog them I don't blame you, but the rest of you, I am pretty sure you know which one I am talking about :

Please let us take a moment, nope no, lets take an entire blog post to obsess over this lehenga from every single angle.

Anju Modi at Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week 2014

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, is all I can say for Anju Modi's collection at India Couture week this time, just breath taking pieces for the bride! This is one collection to lust over!

Look at those details!

Why cant I have that!? Grand Wedding on a budget.

Are you a bride to be? Do you obsessively Pin all Indian wedding pictures on Pinterest? Are you jealous or sad when you see something you REALLY want but is out of your budget?? If yes then this post is for you.

I am sure we have all been to weddings or seen pictures of the ones that we wished were ours......come on even if you had your dream wedding there is always that one wedding or the one event or that one thing that you wish you had, or wish you had the budget for.

Fear not my friends we are Indians, the Kings and Queens of Jugaad!

Trousseau Destination : Chhabra, Karol Bagh

I was introduced to this shop by my mother-in-law when we went trousseau shopping. We went there again recently to get my Karva chauth Saree (although I am wearing my wedding lehenga on Karva chauth....so super excited to wear my lehenga again!! hope it fits!)

Both the times I saw really nice lehenga's and really cheap! (i.e. cheap in terms of bridal wear)
