Shopping for wedding outfits is by far the most exciting time for every South Asian bride. It can also be a bit nerve wracking because you’re not just shopping for “an outfit”.
The outfit is also an expression of who you are and your creative genius.
Here’re 7 ways you can find unique ideas for your wedding dress.
Follow Top Indian Fashion Designers
Powerhouses like Manish Malhotra (hailed as “The King” of Indian fashion), Tarun Tahiliani, and Sabyasachi Mukerjee have become iconic in the Indian fashion industry. These fashion mavens will leave you in awe with their stunning designs. Other big names include Ritu Kuma, Manish Arora, and Neeta Lulla.
