A wedding day is one of the most precious moments in a bride's life, and every detail matters—the bridal outfit. Whether it's a resplendent lehenga, a timeless saree, or a trendy gown, the right fit makes the best wedding gowns turn into a stunning bridal ensemble. At LuLu Celebrate, where we specialise in exquisite bridal wear and convenient online shopping, we understand the importance of bridal trials in achieving your dream look. Here's everything you need to know before stepping into your fitting session, tailored specifically for Indian brides.

Why Bridal Trials Are Essential
The importance of a bridal trial cannot be highlighted enough. Your wedding dress will be historicized in photos, memories, and even eventual heirlooms for generations to come. A trial ensures that:
-
For your body type, the perfect fit is given.
-
Adjustments are made for comfort and ease of movement.
-
You achieve your desired look by coordinating accessories and makeup.
Well-fitted bridal dresses give radiating confidence and poise, which is worth all the trouble.
-
When to Schedule Your Bridal Trial
Timing is key when it comes to bridal trials. Schedule your first fitting 2–3 months before your wedding day to allow ample time for alterations. Plan a final trial 2–3 weeks before the wedding to ensure everything is perfect.
If you’re shopping online at LuLu Celebrate, opt for a trial delivery to try on your outfit at home. This service helps you determine how your chosen attire fits in a relaxed environment.

Prepare Before Your Fitting
Preparation ensures your bridal trial is as seamless as possible. Here’s what you need to do:
Do Your Research
Explore the enormous collection of bridal wear available on LuLu Celebrate's website where there are lehengas, sarees and gowns designed for Indian brides. Figure out your preferences for colours, embroidery and silhouettes.
Wear the Right Undergarments
The undergarments form the base of any outfit. Bring or wear the undergarments you intend to use on your wedding day. For example, a well-fitted blouse or padded cups can make a big difference in how your outfit looks.
Bring Accessories and Shoes
Your jewellery, shoes, and other accessories can affect the overall fit and look of your outfit. Bring everything you plan to wear on your wedding day to ensure the ensemble comes together cohesively.
Stay True to Your Style
It’s easy to get swayed by trends, but always prioritize what feels right for you. Whether you love classic Kanjeevarams or heavily embellished lehengas, your outfit should reflect your personality and heritage.

What to Expect During a Bridal Trial
Measurement Check
Your bridal consultant will take detailed measurements to ensure the outfit fits like a glove. Keep in mind that body sizes can fluctuate, so this step is crucial for precision.
Fit Adjustments
Expect some pinning and tucking as the tailor marks areas for alterations. This could include adjusting the blouse, lehenga waist, or saree pleats to ensure the outfit flatters your figure.
Feedback Session
Be vocal about your preferences during the trial. If a neckline feels too low or the dupatta drape isn’t working, now’s the time to make changes.
Photographs
Take pictures in good lighting to evaluate how the outfit looks on camera. This is especially helpful for brides who will be photographed extensively on their big day.

Tips for a Successful Bridal Trial
Stay Comfortable
Ensure the outfit has ease of movement for rituals, dancing, and long hours of wear. Comfort is just as important as aesthetics.
Right Fabric
Indian weddings can involve hours of rituals under bright lights. Lightweight fabrics such as georgette, chiffon, and silk blends are great for comfort and style.
Experiment with Drapes
Sarees and dupattas offer endless styling options. Experiment with drapes during your trial to find what complements your outfit and body type best.
Involve a Trusted Companion
Bring along a trusted family member or friend whose opinion you value. They can provide constructive feedback and help you make decisions.

Post-Trial Essentials
Alteration Follow-ups
After the trial, communicate clearly with your tailor regarding alterations. Ensure you have enough time for additional adjustments if needed.
Store Your Outfit Properly
Once your outfit is ready, store it in a protective garment bag. Keep it in a cool, dry place to avoid damage to delicate embroidery or fabrics.
Plan Hair and Makeup Trials
Coordinate your outfit fitting with your hair and makeup trials. This ensures a cohesive look and helps you visualize your overall bridal appearance.
