Most brides concentrate so much on their wedding apparel, that they forget that they need to assemble a post-wedding trousseau.
Lunches and dinners at relatives places, pujas and parties where you are the centre if attention means that you need to have a wide array of clothes and accessories.
Remember that your post wedding clothes and accessories don't have to be as rich and heavy as they were on your wedding day.
Buy a variety of light and flowy silk sarees.
There are several types in style right now such as bandhini sarees, sarees with light emboidery work and light zarees.
You can also pick up some light georgette and kantha sarees with minimal work.
You can get a variety of blouses stitched to dress up or dress down the sarees.
Depending on the people you are going to meet, you can also wear salwar kameez or tops with churidhars.
Let these be on the slightly richer side.
If you will be going out with your new husband for parties with friends, you can always opt for pretty floral and silk dresses.
Your jewellery and accessories should again be light.
Get a couple of gold chains and a variety of pendants and earrings that you can mix and match to suit any occasion.
If you are a new Hindu bride, ensure that you have different bindhis that you can wear with your sarees and salwars.
Even if you don't particularly like bindhis, you might have to wear them for pujas and to certain relatives' houses.
Get a good range of sandals and slippers in common colours such as black, gold, silver, red and white to go with all your different clothes.
Last but of highest priority, shop for good lingerie.
Let your lingerie be the kind that allows you to wear different types of blouses and dresses.
And ensure that it is not only of superior quality but also makes you feel like a new bride.
Now, you are all set with your post-wedding trousseau.
