Building a wedding trousseau is one exciting errand for the brides! You get to add new stuff to your wardrobe and experiment with vivid colors, silhouettes, and styles. However, brides-to-be today are planning on having a post-wedding wardrobe that goes well with their work life instead of investing in heavier pieces that'll serve no purpose, other than gathering dust. 

So, if you're also a bride-to-be, who is practical & likes to shop within a set budget, here's how you can build the perfect modern wedding trousseau under 50K.

Saree

Ruffles galore

Family functions after your wedding require you to dress up like a newly married woman (read: extraaa), however, that can be achieved without donning OTT outfits. Like this pink lehenga with gold print, which can be styled with a pair of embroidered juttis and statement earrings for a beautiful look. 

 

Indo Western

Not so desi

Modern brides want modern outfits in their trousseau and that's where the role of indo-western attire comes into existence! Not up for a regular saree?

Layered in style

On the days when you don't feel like sporting ethnic wear, you can easily create fusion looks by layering this Benarsi Silk Brocade jacket! It'll add the required traditional vibe to your attire while being uber-chic.

A fresh addition

A chirpy yellow dhoti pant set with a floral mint jacket would look great at an acquaintance's pre-wedding function or any small occasion at home! The motif on the blouse adds the right amount of bling to the attire. 

 

Suit Set 

Dash of gold

Available at Fab India | Priced at Rs 6,990

Remember how Deepika Padukone made her first public appearance, after her wedding, in a stunning dull gold suit paired with red Banarsi dupatta? You, too, can create a similar look with this suit! All you need to do is add a vibrant dupatta and voila - ready to slay!!

Not without an Anarkali
