    Indian Clothes Dallas: What to Wear to a Luxury Indian Wedding in Jaipur (Real Client Story)

    When you receive an invitation to a luxury Indian wedding, the excitement is immediate but so is the confusion, especially when you’re trying to find the right Indian clothes in Dallas without knowing what’s appropriate.

    What should you actually wear?

    Indian weddings are not just one event. They are a series of celebrations, each with its own style, setting, and expectations. For someone attending for the first time, it can feel overwhelming to plan outfits that fit every occasion.

    That’s exactly what one of our clients experienced before attending a destination wedding in Jaipur.

    A Real Client Experience

    Cindy O’Connor and her husband were invited to a traditional North Indian wedding in Jaipur but had no idea what to wear.

    Instead of taking chances, they decided to visit Silk Threads in Dallas and that decision made all the difference.

    Cindy shared that from their very first visit, the experience felt completely different from regular shopping. They weren’t just shown outfits they were guided through what to wear for each event.

    Ruby and Rishika spent hours helping them understand the different functions and how to dress for each one. They also made sure their outfits complemented each other as a couple, which made the overall look more put together.

    From selecting outfits to pairing them with the right accessories, everything was carefully considered. Shoes and jewellery were chosen to match each look so that nothing felt incomplete. There was no rush during the process. Time was taken to make sure each decision felt right before moving forward.

    This attention to fit made a clear difference when it came to wearing the outfits at the wedding.

    3. Why did you choose your wedding/reception dress from Silk Threads?
    As I was looking online for wedding Lehengas, the only ones that caught my attention were the at Silk Threads – but I didn’t  want to spend a whole lot on it.
    Fortunately, a friend of mine knew someone who knows Ruby well.
    Thanks to her for encouraging me to set up an appointment with Ruby, because she assured me that Ruby would take care of me and design my dream lehenga, and still work within my budget.
    Though I paid a little more than I had planned to, it was well worth it because Ruby gave me much more than what I had expected!
    She did an outstanding job on helping me find the perfect lehenga that made me look like an extraordinary bride and that was my goal to begin with!
    I only had two months to plan my wedding. Ruby and Madhu made the experience so relaxing and stress-free by assisting me with every detail from my Lehenga, to the perfect fit, to picking out the jewelry…
    Not everyone gets a second shot at life. I was fortunate I did, and this time I got much more than what I had anticipated, thanks to my sweet Ruby and Madhu!
    I’ve fallen in love with Silk Threads but more so because of the team that works there and the quality of what they offer is simply priceless!
    They are genuine people that care and take pride and joy in what they do and the results on the most important day of your life simply shows!
    Thank you Ruby and Madhu for making all my dreams of being a beautiful Indian bride come true!

    A Talk with Ruby Bhandari, Chief Designer of Silk Threads on the latest Indian Bridal Trends

    Changing fashion and trends act like a mirror for the changing cultural norms and mind sets. Today’s brides are have specific designs in mind and do not shy away from asserting their preferences. The new age bride can be a career woman, fashionista, social butterfly or reserved book lover – who needs a bridal wear or outfit that will suit her individuality and enhance her personality.

    Let us discuss with Ruby Bhandari, Chief Designer at Silk Threads, about some of the designer Indian bridal wear that will suit every modern woman and respect her unique tastes throughout wedding journey.

    How does a New Age Bride dress-up for Pre-Wedding Ceremonies?

    Ruby Bhandari Says…..

    Subtle and Chic Outfit for Haldi/Mehendi Ceremony:

    The Haldi ceremony kicks off the Indian wedding events. In this casual wedding event, a bride can wear relaxed light Indian attire in shades of yellow or orange. Comfortable and lightly embellished subtle Indian fashion suits and lehngas will be perfect for Haldi ceremony.

    Mehendi is another pre-wedding event, which is a casual fun affair. For this event, a bride can wear an outfit that will suitably get along with the Mehendi theme – but not too heavy and elaborate. Brides should choose relaxed outfits and avoid longer sleeves, practical for applying mehendi (henna), as well as the dancing which is sure to follow…

    What should be the look of a Bride for a lively Sangeet Ceremony?

    Ruby Bhandari Says…..

    Look Vibrant on Sangeet Ceremony:

    The modern Sangeet ceremony has families of both sides performing choreographed dances to the tunes of Bollywood songs. This requires the bride to look vibrant and radiant just like a Bollywood beauty. For this ceremony, brides can dress-up with traditional lehengas, designer anarkalis, salwar kameez or Indian Saree. Pleasing colors, interesting cuts, right amount of shimmer and some attractive offbeat touches to the Indian bridal outfits will enhance the look and will make the bride to stand out in the sangeet ceremony.

    What should be the Attire of a Bride for a Modern day Pre-Wedding Cocktail Party?

    Ruby Bhandari Says…..

    Indo-Western Look for Cocktail Party:

    For cocktail parties before the wedding, some brides have a dress code or a themed event. Incorporating cocktail parties into Indian wedding gives an alternative to the brides for ditching the traditional outfits to adorn a gorgeous look in Indo-Western gowns or cocktail dresses. Remember, minimalism is the key but your subtle jewelry and accessories can make you stand out.

    How can a Bride look gorgeous on her Wedding Day?

    Ruby Bhandari Says…..

    Adorn a Dazzling Look on the Wedding Day, and match it!

    Brides can shine, dazzle and make a statement on the wedding day by creating their favorite Indian bridal wear, and matching it with the groom, as well as the rest of the families. We at Silk Threads can help you create the custom look you desire – be it traditional, contemporary or a hybrid.

  • Fusion Themed Wedding: #RealBride NIMRA

    Fusion Themed Wedding: #RealBride NIMRA

    Nimra Chowdhry and Scott Meadows
    Married August 14, 2015 at the Dallas Palms, Dallas TX

    Photographer: Greg Blomberg

    Fusion weddings are gaining popularity as multicultural couples are exchanging vows.  Nimra, who is Pakistani and Scott is American chose to express both their cultures on their wedding day.

    Nimra worked with designer Ruby Bhandari and her team to create the perfect reception dress out of gold tulle with emerald and gold embroidery.   It was the ideal wedding attire selected also to compliment the lush landscape of the Dallas Palms.

    ST: What was your vision for your wedding?

    Nimra: Our wedding theme was Fusion—a combination of vintage, and contemporary with both Pakistani and American cultural styles. The most magical part of the day was whirling around during our first dance!

    ST: Why did you choose Silk Threads to create the outfit for your special day?

    Nimra: I choose Silk Threads because I wanted a reception dress that was expressly desi-inspired but with a western touch. I did not want to wear a traditional Pakistani dress nor did I want to wear a traditional American/Western style dress. Silk Threads designed a dress that was complex in both style and patterns, and it incorporated all of my dress ideas.

    The wedding day is one of the most treasured and unforgettable days in a brides life. Whether she chooses a traditional ethnic saree, designer Indian bridal lehnga or fusion gown,  it has to be unique and made to compliment her. Silk Threads offers a variety of custom styles and designs to choose from. – The Silk Threads Team
