Wedding related Exhibition October 2014

Like last month here is a little advice for you :

The advantage of going to an exhibition which is not a huge international event is that you get to meet smaller, younger designers who have a different and unique take on things, so if you are looking for something 'different' then visiting such exhibition can be beneficial!

Here is a list of few exhibition happening in Delhi, October, 2014 :


Aanann
Date: 1st October
Venue: The Lalit, CP


Exhibition by Ru Ba Ru
Date: 1st October
Venue: Eros Hotel, Nehru Place


The Pink Champagne Show
Date: 4th October
Venue: Eros, Nehru Place

Indian wear Inspiration : Sonam Kapoor

Love her or Hate her, you have to admit she has style!

Here are some pictures of her which you can use as style inspiration for your own trousseau ! 

Do Notice the Makeup and Hair in each picture!!

^ You do know I make similar type of Saree's right!? Just saying.... #ShamelessPlugIn

The Real Girl Guide to Summer Dressing

Well as much as we would love to wear something like this, and pretty much rock the look, it would mean a LOT of stares at home, in the metro, at the office and weirdo's on the road thinking your a weirdo...soooo nope thats not what a normal girl can wear in her everyday life.

So since designer wear and Anarkali's are pretty much reserved for wedding wear and fancy family meetups, lets just get inspired by normal everyday wear and tell our tailors to stitch these and keep us cool:

Day 1 : Shantanu and Nikhil at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2014

A Corporate Bride?! Anyone?

Well since its Autum Winter 2014 and not really Bridal Week, we do find lack of typical Bridal wear, but none the less we can still find a lot of trousseau wear and options for the sisters and friends!

I really like this look, why don't boys get all dressed up for dinners?
I have never heard a boy shopping for his 'trousseau' , they should right?!

Day 1 : Vineet Bahl at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2014

Not really a 'Bridal' Collection, but some good pieces for the New Bahu...Have a look : 

I think this would look more lovely if the model had been standing more 'femininely' , or maybe the photo angle is wrong or something.

Inspiration : Gulaab Gang promotion wear

Two of most gorgeous ladies of Bollywood are busy promoting their new movie 'Gulaab Gang' and well lets just say a bride finds inspiration in everything!

 Here are some of their promotion pictures, get inspired for your trousseau wear :

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)

Online Shopping: Kalkifashion.com

Have you shopped online? My brother loves flipkart and shops from there but its always little things.

I have brought books and digicam online,but that was after I had seen the actual product in a shop and brought it only because of the discount I was getting.

What troubles me is even if I buy anything online, specially clothes, will they fit?! will it be the exact same product as seen on the screen. I sell my Roli Gaur Vashisht products online at Indianhanger.com and people do buy but I havn't really brought anything online myself.

One of my cousin said she got a lot of her trousseau Saree's and Suits online and they all came out perfect.

I do however love looking at Kalki Fashion, their designs really tempt me.

Exhibiting @ Thank God for Design!

To those of you who don't know, I design when I am not researching for the blog. 

Saturday saw me waking up early getting super nervous "what if I don't sell even a single garment" I whispered to hubby, "Then you will know what not to do" he replied half asleep.

I am not sure if that helped but ah well, that was all I had to keep me encouraged. ( I was super scared!)

We reached the exhibition venue at 10am and started our setup, by the time we were done around 11ish I was a little relaxed. It was my first exhibition and was almost like a brand launch.

I had 'practiced' the day before how I wanted my dummy to look, so it was easy to set up, the next day.

The picture isn't too clear,
the blouse is acutally a bird print blouse with neon green lehenga with a yellow dupatta

How to save Money while Trousseau shopping?

Getting a complete new wardrobe is a dream for every girl and that's what happens when an Indian girl gets married!
Not only is it a dream come true, your parents don't say 'No' to anything (well...almost anything...within reasons)

So does this topic even belong here, well we should save money where ever we can, right?! ( so we can spend it while shopping on our honeymoon ;P )

So where should you save and where should you splurge?
