Introduction
Your bridal trunk is more than a suitcase of outfits-it is the collection of
memories you will carry forward. Each garment, accessory and fitting matters.
At Dulhan World we believe in preparing a well-planned trunk, so you feel
organised, confident and stress-free. This blog presents an essential checklist
and explains how Dulhan World supports each step.
Checklist Item 1:
Confirm Number of Functions and Outfits Required
Begin by listing all wedding functions-roka, engagement, mehendi, sangeet,
wedding day, reception, post-wedding brunch etc. For each function decide what
outfit you need: lehenga, saree, gown, fusion wear. At Dulhan World our
consultants help you map these and suggest how many of each category you might
require.
Checklist Item 2:
Budget Allocation per Outfit
With multiple garments needed, budgeting becomes key. Allocate a larger portion
to flagship events like the wedding ceremony and reception; smaller for
informal ones. Dulhan World provides transparent pricing, highlights where
investment gives largest visual impact (fabric, embroidery, brand) and where
cost savings may be feasible without compromising look.
Checklist Item 3:
Fabric and Embellishment Assessment
Go through each selected outfit and assess whether the fabric is appropriate
for time of day, venue, weather, mobility, and potential reuse. Dulhan World
ensures that you understand the difference between heavy silks for evening
functions and lighter fabrics for day events, and that the embellishment suits
your comfort and wear time.
Checklist Item 4:
Fitting Schedule and Alterations
Book fittings early. Ensure blouse, skirt length, dupatta fall, sleeve shape
are aligned with your body. Dulhan World arranges multiple sessions and
integrates alterations within your wardrobe schedule so you are not rushing at
the last moment.
Checklist Item 5:
Accessories Coordination
List jewellery, shoes, handbags, hair accessories, belts, veils/dupattas. At
Dulhan World our stylists coordinate these so your wardrobe has internal
harmony and each piece elevates the overall look.
Checklist Item 6:
Transport, Storing and Preservation
Outfits may travel, sit in storage or need quick freshening before wear. Ensure
your bridal trunk includes garment bags, steaming options, minor repair kits
(loose embellishment) and memory preservation (photos, dry-cleaning plans).
Dulhan World provides guidance on how to pack your wardrobe safely and how to
preserve key pieces post-wedding.
Checklist Item 7:
Timeline and Final Run-Through
Two weeks before the main event do a full run-through: wear the full outfit,
accessories, shoes, dupatta and move-sit down, stand up, walk, lift your arms.
Identify any discomfort, fit issues, or mismatches. Dulhan World’s team
supports this phase with staff assistance and adjustment services.
Conclusion
The bridal trunk is the tangible representation of your wedding style, your
journey and the visual story you carry. With Dulhan World you get more than
garments-you get planning, tailoring, coordination and peace of mind. Use this
checklist as your framework and let our boutique support you in executing it
flawlessly. Your wardrobe deserves to be as meticulously prepared as your
wedding day itself.
