Thinking of shopping during a pandemic gave me jitters! And that's when my mum came to my rescue and took out a stunning red saree from her trousseau. Whoa, I fell in love with the details instantly and knew it'll be a perfect attire for my intimate wedding ! It'll not only help me keep the heritage alive but the old world charm might just create a fresh bridal wear trend.

Coronavirus hit my wedding plans really hard! I was supposed to wrap up my wedding shopping June, and that's when the govt announced the stringent lockdown and I knew it's here to stay. That's when I got to know about WedMeGood's virtual shopping service and I thought of giving it a try (considering it was the best bet at that time). Not only they understood my style, but visited the stores, and sent me detailed pictures of outfits available. I found a pretty lehenga at the best price possible, and once selected the WMG team took the coordination ahead to get the outfit ready and have it shipped once done!

While I had already finalised an outfit though a local designer, as the lockdown struck they informed me about the cancellation. It broke my heart but I knew I cannot blame anyone for it, got my refund, and I began my bridal wear hunt from scratch. Considering I had time in my hands, I decided to take help from a friend's boutique, who helped me with procuring the fabric and stitched the outfit of my dreams. This made me laud my decision to start early with my wedding planning, else I would have been insane. Trust me brides-to-be, please plan your wedding wayyy ahead of time.

I have always been inclined towards virtual retail therapy and I knew I'll stick to the same for my wedding outfits as well. So a lockdown or not, I was anyway searching for my wedding outfit online. Since I wanted a Banarsi Silk lehenga I had zeroed in Ekaya for the same, a little coordination here and there, and eventually, my lehenga was delivered on time.

Real Bride Aashna says

While everyone talked about 'how to plan a wedding in lockdown', I couldn't find much information about the bridal outfit (I understood it was chaotic then and too soon to expect anything concrete). I had already switched to a home wedding and my family was helping me with the decor, food et al, so that I can focus on my outfits. Moving on to plan B, I decided to wait for the stores to open so that I get to do social distance shopping. I was wanted to wear a big designer, so I was sure that the necessary steps like temperature control and disinfectants would be taken. They allowed a limited number of customers, and post finalizing the outfit we took the virtual route. A perfect mix of safe physical and digital space!
