Planning to buy a Seema Gujral Bridal Lehenga? Designer pieces need time. Silk Threads recommends ordering at least 3–4 months before your wedding. This timeline helps you avoid rush fees and stress. Below is a clear month-by-month plan for ordering, sampling, fittings and final pickup.
Month 3–4: Choose and place your order
Start by booking an appointment at Silk Threads early. Bring photos of styles you love and your wedding palette. Ask about Seema Gujral Bridal Lehenga options in-store and online.
Decide on fabric, colour and embroidery level. When you place the order, get a written delivery date and an estimated schedule for samples and fittings. Pay any deposit required to lock in the design and tailor slots.
Ask about customisation options — colour swaps, dupatta changes, or slight motif edits — and confirm lead times for those changes.
Month 2: Sampling and initial adjustments
Expect your first sample or similar-size piece to arrive for review. This is the time to test the silhouette and weight. Try on the sample with your wedding shoes. Note the hem length and how the lehenga drapes. Discuss any changes with the stylist. Common changes include waist allowance, blouse neckline, and dupatta fall.
Silk Threads often advises a second sample if there are major design changes. Keep communication clear and punctual. Approve small tweaks quickly so tailoring stays on schedule.
Month 1: First formal fitting
One month before the wedding, schedule your first formal fitting. By now most custom work should be complete. The fitter will adjust seams, bust darts and hem. Bring your final shoes and undergarments. Practice sitting and walking in the outfit to check comfort and motion.
Ask for minor adjustments that improve comfort for long ceremonies. Also check dupatta pins and stitching points used for photos. If you need heavy embroidery repositioned, this is the time to speak up.
2 weeks out: Final tweaks and steaming
A second or final fitting usually happens two weeks before the wedding. Tailors make the last small trims and finish hems. Confirm that linings and hooks are secure. Request steaming or gentle press before pickup. If you are travelling, arrange secure packaging and steaming on arrival.
Final pickup: Check everything
When you collect your Seema Gujral Bridal Lehenga, inspect embroidery, borders and dupatta edges. Verify measurements one last time. Keep receipts for cleaning and alteration notes. Ask the boutique about post-wedding cleaning and storage options for heavy embroidered pieces.
Ordering a designer lehenga is a rewarding process when you plan the time. A Seema Gujral Bridal Lehenga from Silk Threads looks best when fittings are paced and changes are made early. Enjoy the fittings — they are part of the excitement.
