TIME FOR SOME SHAADI SHOPPING!

 Colaba Causeway

Always bustling with a vibrant crowd, Colaba
Causeway is one of the largest wholesale
markets in Mumbai and is a great place
to pick up wedding necessities. Strolling
through the street, one can purchase

intricate outfits, as well as wedding thalis,
party props, prayer bells, vermillion boxes,
and much more. Make sure to bag a bargain
on every item, as the place is also known to
be a tourist trap. Do keep in mind that the
street gets very crowded on weekends, so
we recommend visiting Colaba Causeway
during the weekdays.

Closed on Sundays

ips to follow when going to India
Tips to follow when going to India
to shop for your trousseau:

1 Rather than carrying around a lot of money, get
a local Indian or international debit card to pay
for all your purchases.
2 Go at least six months prior to your wedding,
as your outfits are made from scratch and

require time.
3 Leave at least two weeks for alterations.

4 When shopping, wear comfortable clothes,
as trial rooms tend to be congested.
5 Take pictures of the outfits you finalise,

so you can refer back to them when
choosing your accessories.
6 Try not to wear too much makeup

while shopping. Getting lipstick on

an outfit is a no-no.
