There may have been a time when the words white and bridal did not go in the same sentence, but fortunately, that’s not the case anymore. Brides today are choosing to make a statement in white and if you’re one of them, this outfit is going to be the perfect addition to your trousseau. The all-white ensemble consisting a kurta, palazzo and dupatta features tone-on-tone embroidery and is crafted from pure georgette fabric. “We’ve noticed that brides today lean towards neutral shades as compared to five years back. A chikankari set promises to be an elegant-meets-effortless choice. You can also easily style the pieces separately and play around with different colours,” elaborates Singh.

Do you want to know the secret to building the perfect trousseau? It’s by including outfits that you can wear at a wedding and at home too. Most brides make the mistake of investing in heavy pieces only that are not of much help later on. “It’s essential to invest in pieces that you can easily sport during the day as well as in the evening,” explains Aakriti Rawal, Co-Founder of House Of Chikankari. This loose-fit kaftan and matching palazzo set with intricate embroidery is equal parts stylish and comfy and has our vote. It’s perfect to wear at home and you can easily take it out for lunches and day events too.

No bridal trousseau is complete without a floral attire in a pastel hue and this right here is straight out of our dreams. “Invest in pieces that are fresh and can be styled with different pieces and worn multiple times. Lightweight chikankari pieces work beautifully for the day and investing in a great set will last you for years to come,” advices Rawal. Style your pastel set with contrasting long earrings, jute flats and a striking boho clutch for a lunch out with the in-laws.
