Sarees and more...

Gosh...planning a wedding is no piece of cake. Recently I got talking to this guy friend of mine and he was like, your wedding's six months away and you are already shopping? Aren't two months enough? Well, that got me thinking. 

If I had to do everything in two months...it would be crazy for sure. Why? Because a wedding is not only about shopping. And shopping doesn't mean that you get into a shop, buy whatever you like and then you are done. No way! Weddings are special...very special and it is an occasion of a life time [for me yes...cannot say for the others!]. So I asked this guy friend to shut up. 

Him's been very patient with all my ranting about shopping and all. Some days are good and some are bad. On some days I find really good stuff to buy while others are just a waste. Frankly, it is confusing. Simply because there is so much to choose from!

And my mom is the opinion that a trousseau should have variety. This is the first and the only trousseau planning I have been involved with...so yeah it is definitely fun! According to my mum there should be a variety in sarees. So I have a mix of cottons, silks, Georgette, crepe, net etc. But then it does not end here. We both; mom and me are saree lovers. My mum can hold an exhibition of her sarees alone [she owns about 200 plus and what a variety!] 

So my trousseau is going to be something like this:

Kanjeevaram

Temple Design Saree

Tusser Silk

Maharashtrian Silk saree

Bengali Dhakai Saree

Bengali cotton saree

Kantha Saree [I have to get this yet!]

Bandhani Saree

Leheriya Saree

Ikat print saree

Patola Silk saree

Designer Net saree

More to come...I am running out of names. 

Please note: none of the above images are of my trousseau...pics will be taken soon!
