Make a list of designers and marketplace
Before leaving for shopping be truly aware about the places you need to head for your wedding shopping. Find a place where designers and your preference will easily be accessible so you don’t have to go from one market to another.
Don’t pick the very first one
Usually, in excitement the bride-to-be tend the settle for the very first dress that are shown to them but don’t do that, explore a little, see more and more choices and look for every aspect in the dress according to your needs.
Try the lehenga
