Where should I buy my wedding sarees in India?

Buying your wedding sarees is an important decision, and you need to choose the right ones for the different occasions during your wedding. Today, there are a large number of stores, both online and offline, that offer a vivid range and attractive prices. However, along with a large number of stores, there’s also a huge amount of confusion on where to shop from. While the sheer number of stores, and saree varieties, may seem mind-boggling, here’s a guide that allows you to zero down on the stores to checkout. Read more to know what to look for when buying wedding sarees.

  • Do your background research
  • Before you head out to check the various stores and begin shopping, remember that a little planning can go a long way. First, list down the various events or ceremonies that your wedding will comprise of. Next, with the advice of family and close friends, you can list out the kind of sarees that will look grand for each of the occasions. For example, a Kanchipuram pattu sari is a beautiful saree that many brides desire for their big day. You can then decide the elegant sarees for occasions like the reception. Also, list the kind of sarees you plan to gift to your relatives and family members for your wedding. Set out a budget for all your purchases, and then compare a few online stores for a rough idea.

  • Look for a store you can trust
  • Whether you are shopping for bridal wear online or offline, the second most important step is to choose a branded store that you can trust. Going for a well-established brand, that has been in the market for a long time, is always a good place to start. This is important as it will ensure that you get high-quality sarees at the right price. Having been in the market for years, these stores will be able to bring you the best pick in a wide range of categories. Also, they can easily customize sarees for you, if you provide them ample time and give the right set of requirements. To decide on which stores you can take feedback from friends, and family, along with their shopping experiences as well. Checking online reviews of the stores is also a good place to start.

  • Consider a store that offers a vivid range
  • While most stores will promise you a wide range of sarees, shopping for a wedding collection is an entirely different ask. You need sarees that are unique, and grand and keep you as the center of attention. So, look for stores that offer a vivid range in bridal wear sarees. Opt for stores where you can get more varieties in different kinds of silks, so you can have something special, unique, and different for each wedding ceremony. A visit to a few stores or browsing various online stores can help.

  • Learn to compare prices
  • Shopping for bridal sarees is an expensive task, and often women tend to buy sarees just because they find them beautiful. Learning to understand the material and being able to compare prices based on this can help you get a better deal. With the online market offering you easy scope to compare prices, do shortlist a few sarees, and compare prices from different sites. This will give you a fair idea of what the cost of a particular kind of sarees is and enable you to negotiate for your saree better. 

  • Look at high quality and workmanship
  • While it is important to work within the budget that you have set out, don’t compromise on the quality of the saree and its workmanship. Handloom silk sarees with heavy zari and motifs can take months for the weaver to weave, and will thus be expensive. Do try to include a couple of such high-quality, grand workmanship, sarees in your bridal collection. You can also customize them with motifs special to you or with the names of you and your spouse. Such sarees will surely be a treasure that will last you for years and enable you to pass them on to the next generation as well.
