Getting married can be overwhelming and often confusing. Safe to say it can be considered as one of the most exciting and nerve-wrecking moments of our lives. However, one constant throughout the entire process is endless shopping. 

I remember the six months before my wedding were all about visiting a new market, a store or a designer to find the best picks for not just my wedding functions but also for my bridal trousseau. While shopping was fun, the taxing bit was to find trendy, elegant and chic outfits within my budget. Most of the designer pieces that we see trending on Instagram look fabulous and straight out of a fairytale, but the price tag attached to them is often equivalent to the cost of a wedding function. But does that tame our insatiable hunger to buy designer pieces? Absolutely not!

So, if you too, are a bride-to-be and looking to add some statement-making designer pieces to your bridal trousseau, this list of 12 designers and designer stores is going to help you out. They have the most trendy 'fits without the Manish Malhotra, Tarun Tahiliani or Amit Aggarwal-level price tag on it, even if they are a bit more expensive than retail chains like Meena Bazaar or Nalli (both of them have an amazing collection for trousseau picks too).

Design Machine by Jasmine Kaur

You've probably seen this lady come to your feed to sell the same suits in different colours, but that's not why she's here.

Most options here are maximal, but you'll also get minimal festive wear, too if that's the aesthetic you're going for.
