“Apni shaadi mein main bhi Sabyasachi wala lehenga pehnungi” Hasn’t every Indian bride-to-be wished for this at least once? Whether you are scrolling through gorgeous but unaffordable designer wear on your social media feed, or are swooning over a real bride’s beautiful designer lehenga at a wedding, the price tag is always a heartbreaker!

Most fashion lovers have seen Shahpur Jat as a shopping district for bohemian and artisanal designer wear, whereas actually, we found great wedding wear and accessories in the quaint bylanes of this heritage village. Our ultimate shopping guide to the area’s best stores will help you navigate perfectly. Go on, scroll down to find out all about these stores… Who knows, you might even find the outfit of your dreams!
