The tour offers an intimate behind-the scenes picture of some of the action involving the bridal couple and their families as a run up to ‘The Big Day’.

We take you through a market that's become the go-to destination for all things wedding! The market itself is so exciting because it's an urban-rural melting pot where one can witness many subcultures of the city. 

At an apparel design studio, you’ll learn all about tradition, colours and weaves of wedding outfits for the bridal pair. On the other hand, you’ll also learn about some bizarre requests by clients who want to be ‘unique’. It’s a great place to follow trends in the wedding industry and the secrets a bride/groom won't reveal! Your guide will introduce you to critical touchpoints of typical wedding preparations including shoes, jewellery and more!

Next, you’ll have an opportunity to participate in some fun activities such as an Indian stitch workshop to acquaint yourself with Indian weaves. You can even make yourself a personalised wedding souvenir. You could even learn some Bollywood dance steps at a special wedding dance class— and then there’s that fun-filled opportunity to have your fortune revealed by an Indian Vedic astrology reading! Of course, no Indian wedding or even pre-wedding prep, is complete without mithai (sweets)! 

Along the way catch up on local gossip and traditions linked to weddings in India. We’ll block some free time at the end of the tour when you can walk around and witness all that the market has to offer! It's also a great way to see prospective brides and grooms attended by family members out on a recce trip for their various needs and indulgences!
