Planning an Indian wedding from London, Dubai, Toronto, Sydney, Singapore or the US? We have run the full trousseau, muhurtham, reception, sangeet, haldi, mehendi, and the family's sarees, for NRI brides without them flying to India. Six months out, you book the first video viewing. Eight weeks before the wedding, the trousseau ships. We have done this so often we run it like clockwork.
A muhurtham/ceremony saree (typically a pure Kanjivaram or bridal Banarasi), a reception saree (Banarasi, Patola, or a couture piece), a sangeet saree (often pastel or jewel-toned), a haldi/mehendi saree (yellow or green light silk), and 2 to 6 family sarees for mother, sisters, mother-in-law. Each comes with a custom-designed, hand-embroidered blouse. The full trousseau averages 6 to 10 sarees and 6 to 10 blouses.
Month 6 to initial video viewing, colour palette, budget. Month 5 to saree shortlists confirmed, blouse measurements sent. Month 4 to bridal blouse design and pattern. Months 3 to 2 to embroidery, fittings via courier. Month 1 to final video approval, trousseau packed and shipped insured. Week 0 to the trousseau arrives 7 to 10 days before the wedding.
We have two proven methods. (A) The reference blouse, send us a blouse that fits you well, we pattern from it. (B) The 16-point chart, your local tailor takes the measurements we send (we walk them through it on a 10-min video) and emails it to us. For bridal blouses we do one muslin trial via courier before embroidery begins. Fit guarantee: if the final blouse needs adjustment, we re-cut at no charge.
Insured DHL or FedEx, full customs documentation, declared value with original invoices. The trousseau ships in a custom muslin-lined wooden box with each saree individually wrapped in acid-free tissue. We have shipped to the US, UK, UAE, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Mauritius and Kenya. Customs duty varies by country, we will quote total landed cost before you confirm.
Yes, Trisha Silks has run end-to-end trousseaus for 400+ NRI brides over video. Six-month timeline, free video viewings, blouse fittings via courier, insured worldwide shipping with a fit guarantee.
A typical NRI bridal trousseau from Trisha Silks (6 to 10 sarees + blouses + family sarees) ranges from ₹4.5 lakh to ₹15 lakh (approximately $5,500,$18,000 USD), depending on the bridal saree weight and embroidery density. We share an itemised quote at the second video viewing.
Six months before the wedding is ideal. The first video viewing happens at month six; the trousseau ships at month one. Faster timelines (3 to 4 months) are possible for ready pieces with simpler blouse work.
Two methods: send us a reference blouse, or have a local tailor take measurements using our 16-point body chart. For bridal blouses we ship a muslin trial before any embroidery begins, with a 100% fit guarantee on the final piece.
We declare full value with original invoices and HSN codes. Most personal-use bridal trousseaus under the de minimis thresholds enter duty-free; for higher values, we quote the landed cost (including duty) before you confirm. To date, none of our 400+ NRI shipments have been held by customs.
