1. Reflect on your choice.

First of all, you have to make a choice. It’s not just looking at someone’s bridal saree and deciding you want it. Because before choosing a saree that fits you, you should pay special attention to your skin color, height, body shape, etc. Also, consider how you look in photos. Pore over bridal magazines, Pinterest, Facebook groups, websites, etc., to get some idea of the materials, latest fashions, related terms, and market prices. By doing so, you can get a clear picture of what you are looking for and avoid unnecessary opinions of others because you know what you want. Also, narrow the group to two or three people who have the most essential ideas for you. Because you will be able to minimize future conflicts and unnecessary time consuming about the finish of your saree. Start a folder with pictures or descriptions of jacket designs, materials, and saree work that you find interesting, so you can take them when shopping.

2. Keep the budget in mind.

The budget is a significant factor to consider when selecting your wedding saree. But many brides are tempted to decide on the saree design without knowing their materials and costs. As a result, they often find it hard to stay within their budget. Various bridal fabrics and materials are available for making a bridal saree. Some of these materials are very expensive. Also, having too much work on the saree can increase the cost. So, find perfect-looking saree designs made with cheaper materials.

To get some idea of the prices of bridal materials, just walk around the saree market at Colombo Fort. Then you can get a rough idea about how much you can afford before you go shopping or meet your bridal saree designer. Because sticking to a saree that you cannot afford can make you heartbreaking. Also, remember that overthinking the budget and going for over cheap bridal saree can be a tragedy. Be honest with your supplier and discuss the maximum you can go within your budget.

3. Find the right place.

Find a trustworthy bridal saree shop or designer. Ask your married friends and relatives where they went. Find out why they chose that particular bridal saree shop by asking for the inside story. Did they like their designer and have a great experience? Also, read reviews for bridal saree shops in your area. Do not waste your time in a saree shop with old designs or doesn’t have the designer or the price range you want.

Most bridal saree designers take a month or two to complete a bridal saree. After finishing it, adjustments and alterations also take a couple of days. So, meet them early to avoid any delays.

Keep an open mind with your designer. Get their direction, even if what they suggest you try on doesn’t seem like your kind. Some saree designs don’t look much on the hanger but look great when you wear them. On the other hand, do not let them sell a saree you do not love. Check the possibility of making a custom saree design meeting your expectations.

4. Give a follow-up.

After placing your order, follow up with your bridal saree designer or shop periodically. This will help you ensure that your saree is completed on time and will be ready by the agreed-upon date. It will also allow you to make any necessary adjustments or changes before it’s too late.

During your follow-up, you can ask your designer for updates on your saree’s progress and any issues they may have encountered. You can also discuss any additional details you may want to add to your saree, such as a matching blouse or accessories.

5. Finalizing the saree.

On the rehearsal day of your bridal saree jacket (also known as the poplin fit-on), you should check whether the jacket has the correct measurements to fit your body. And you have to pay attention to the neck design, the front, and back neck deep, the front or back open, and the sleeves. Once you receive the finalized saree and the jacket, review them once to ensure they have no damage. Also, pay attention to the quality of work done on it. Last but not least, if you hire your bridal saree, ensure that you know the rules and regulations you should follow regarding the return of the saree.
