    The Complete Trousseau Shopping Guide for Delhi Brides

    Trousseau shopping is one of the most exciting (and overwhelming) parts of wedding preparation. As a Delhi bride, you have access to the country's finest boutiques, markets, and designers. But where do you start? How much should you budget? What should you include? This guide covers everything.

    What Is a Trousseau?

    A trousseau (also called *dahej* or *stree dhan* in different traditions) refers to the collection of clothing, accessories, and personal items a bride takes to her new home. In modern Indian weddings, the trousseau focuses primarily on outfits for various wedding functions and the first year of married life.
