    Destination weddings in India are magical — but packing for one requires strategy. Here's how to look incredible without overpacking.

    Packing by Destination

    Udaipur & Rajasthan Palaces

    The quintessential Indian destination wedding. Think royal, opulent, and traditional.

  1. Must-pack: Heavy lehengas and sherwanis — palace settings demand grandeur
  2. Fabrics: Velvet, raw silk, brocade (winter weddings)
  3. Skip: Anything too casual. Even daytime events at palaces need polish
  4. Pro tip: Our Udaipur team pre-selects outfits suited to specific palace venues

    5. Goa Beach Weddings

    Relaxed, breezy, and tropical.

  5. Must-pack: Lightweight lehengas, flowy sarees, linen suits
  6. Fabrics: Georgette, chiffon, organza, linen
  7. Skip: Heavy velvet or dense embroidery — you'll overheat
  8. Footwear: Skip heels. Embellished flats or barefoot-friendly looks

    9. Jaipur Havelis & Forts

    A blend of Rajasthani tradition and boutique luxury.

  9. Must-pack: Gota patti lehengas, Rajputi jewelry, colourful turbans
  10. Our Jaipur shopping team sources authentic Rajasthani pieces at local artisan prices

    11. Kerala Backwater Weddings

    Serene, lush, and traditional.

  11. Must-pack: Kasavu sarees, gold jewelry, simple cotton outfits for daytime
  12. Explore: Our Kochi styling team for authentic Kerala wedding looks

    13. The Universal Packing Formula

    For a 3-day destination wedding, pack:

  13. 1 main ceremony outfit (the heaviest investment)
  14. 2-3 event outfits (mehendi, sangeet, reception)
  15. 1 versatile outfit that works for unexpected events
  16. 2 casual outfits for downtime and travel
  17. Accessories kit: A curated set that works across multiple outfits

    18. Garment Care for Travel

  18. Roll, don't fold — prevents hard crease lines
  19. Use garment bags for heavy embroidered pieces
  20. Pack tissue paper between layers of zari work
  21. Carry a steamer — most destination venues don't have irons suitable for silk
  22. Ship heavy outfits ahead — we coordinate this for destination wedding clients

    23. Weather-Proofing Your Wardrobe

  23. Winter (Nov-Feb): Layer with embroidered shawls and velvet stoles
  24. Summer (Mar-Jun): Lightweight fabrics only. Avoid anything fully lined
  25. Monsoon (Jul-Sep): Dark colours that won't show splashes. Quick-dry fabrics
