Frequently Asked Questions
Twelve months out is ideal: attire and venue first, then beauty treatments, fitness, and trials in the final three months, with hair and makeup trials four to six weeks before the wedding.
Start with your wedding-day jora, then build around it — one outfit per event, mixing heirloom pieces with new finds. Most brides plan eight to twelve outfits across the full wedding week.
Plan two to three fittings for the wedding outfit and one each for the sangeet and reception looks, spaced through the final three months as alterations finalize.
Facials and clean-ups begin three months out, hair color and keratin a month before, threading and waxing two to three days before, and mehndi one to two nights before the ceremony.
Agree with your partner on non-negotiables first, then present a united front. A shared timeline both families can see prevents most last-minute conflicts over rituals and events.
Safety pins, double-sided tape, blotting papers, lipstick for touch-ups, pain relievers, bandages, mints, a spare dupatta pin, and snacks — your maid of honor carries it.
Layer your look around one statement piece — a polki set, a temple necklace, or family heirlooms — and keep the rest complementary. Balance weight against the outfit's embroidery.
Yes, always. Book a trial four to six weeks before with photos of your outfit and jewelry, so the artist can match the look to your neckline, dupatta style, and event lighting.
Hand the run sheet to a trusted sibling or bridesmaid and step back. Your only jobs that week are mehndi, rest, meals, and showing up — let the team handle logistics.
Coordinate with your pandit or officiant on the required items — often a dupatta, sacred thread, and family-specific rituals — and assign a relative to keep them ready at the mandap.
Write your own vows or a letter, choose ritual music that means something to you, and plan one private moment with your partner between the ceremony and reception.
