Wedding Jewelry
One of the most important parts of a bridal trousseau comprises of the jewelry.
Traditionally, yellow gold jewelry, in the form of necklaces, earrings, chains,
rings, bangles, anklets, toe rings, armlet and waistbands, was given to the
bride. However, these days, people opt for white gold, platinum and diamond
jewelry as well. Those who have a low budget prefer giving silver jewelry to
their daughter.

Sari
In terms of bridal clothes, saris surely top the list. The actual type of sari,
like Bandhani, Banarasi, Brocade, Kanjeevaram, Kota Silk, Mysore Silk or
Paithani, will depend upon the region to which the bride belongs. However, one
thing is for sure, the saris will have heavy work done on them, in the form of
thread embroidery, zari work, zardozi work, etc, and will be in bright colors.

Salwar Kameez
In some of the regions of India, especially in the north, salwar kameez also
forms a part of the bridal trousseau. Just like saris, they also have heavy work
done on them, which might include gold/silver thread embroidery, zari work,
zardozi work or the use of sequins, crystals, lace, etc. The suits will be in
bright colors and even the dupatta/chunni will be adorned with work. |

Shoes
An Indian bride, as a part of her trousseau, will also be carrying lots of shoes
and sandals with her. Apart from sandals in the usual colors, like white, black,
cream, brown, silver and golden, the ones particularly matching her saris or
salwar kameez will also be included. In fact, some of the brides carry a
separate suitcase, which consists of just their shoes.

Linen
It is believed that a bride will have to set up her new home, after getting married. This is why; linen has always formed a part of the Indian bridal trousseau. It will include items like bed sheets, bed covers, blankets, quilts, curtains, table covers, mats, pillow covers, etc. Apart from that, bath linen (towels) will also form a part of the trousseau.

Other Items
Amongst the other items that are included in an Indian wedding trousseau include
toiletries (soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc), night wear, lingerie, watch,
etc. The basic idea behind including all these items is to make sure that the
bride does not have to ask anybody in her new home, for something, at least in
the initial days after her marriage.
