Where to shop for Bridal Wear in Hyderabad (Part 1: Lehengas )

Okay, girls, we hear ya! After we covered Mumbai (still looking for more inputs there), Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Chandni Chowk (Delhi), Shahpur Jat (Delhi) and most recently Bangalore: it was only a matter of time we moved to the city of Nawabs & Biryani - in search of bridal wear in Hyderabad. Okay, a confession- most of our friends from Hyderabad or even real brides from Hyderabad always seem to go for bridal shopping from outside that city so we assumed there isn't much to offer there. But thankfully our local genie, Sindhura put together this neat little list of the best places to shop there!

Bridal shopping in Hyderabad is a tad bit different than the other cities. To categorise broadly, we have two types of weddings happening here- South Indian wedding with brides wearing Kanjivaram sarees and the weddings with brides wearing Lehengas. Honestly, I must say that there are comparatively fewer options for saree or  wedding lehengas shopping in Hyderabad than you would find in Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata, but some are worth checking out nevertheless, when you are looking for where to buy bridal lehengas in Hyderabad.

But before you go to buy bridal outfits in Hyderabad, make sure to keep these points in the head, after all, it is your wedding outfit and you want it to be the best!

• Budget & Style: Always set a budget for each and every function. Note down every function you’ve planned to have before your D:day. With every function decide what kind of outfit you’d be wearing. If you are planning for lehenga, salwar-kurta, saree or a gown. Label each and every function and decide the price you are ready to pay for each day for your bridal wear.
• Designer Wear Stores: Look out for designer stores as much as you can but don’t let go of local stores. Designer stores would give you a fair picture of what kind of designs are in fashion, trending styles and the most important point, it would let you know about the budget that would suit your pocket. Designer wear can never go wrong in terms of fitting, design, embroidery motives and elegance.
• Local Stores: Don’t forget to go to local bridal wear shops in Hyderabad as it is important to know about the prices over there too. You need to look out for local stores to buy things in the budget. Obviously, you didn’t plan to spend all your money on just bridal wear. It isn’t just your wedding day when you wish to dress your best but you have a number of other functions like mehendi, sangeet, engagement, reception and haldi to look marvelous. To go for such wedding functions bridal wear, local stores are a good stop.
• Research Well: Go through every social media platform, magazine, trends thoroughly, we know that you have a certain style and design in your mind for your wedding but you need to know about the latest bridal lehenga fashion and moreover the best place from where to buy bridal wear in Hyderabad. You don’t want to get stuck up with a bad investment and you surely would be looking for something really nice.
