And with the latest shaadis of Bollywood’s leading, real-life couples, bridal trends from sangeet to haldi are making bridal shopping bags heavier. For many, the idea of keeping a check on heavy details for their pre-wedding festivities is as personal and important as d-day.

From loud music to mehendi mela and bright colours, some Indian brands specialise in creating pre-wedding looks.
