Chandni Chowk is a haven for all things wedding.

We know that navigating through the lanes in search of the perfect outfit can be a difficult task but with our list of stores to hit up for the most exquisite lehngas, you’ll be sorted.

While you might not find your wedding lehnga here, Shahpur Jat is a great place to shop for your trousseau and for the numerous functions leading up to the wedding. Preeti S. Kapoor, Liz Paul and Monika Nidhii are some popular stores that brides generally make it a point to check out. While this market is a little pricey, we’ve managed to find apparel under INR 10K also. For jewellery shopping, hit up Soranam and the Shoe Garage & Needlelust have fancy juttis perfect for cocktail and mehndi ceremonies.

Chawri Bazaar is the city’s hub for invitation cards with endless stores offering cards in vibrant colours, with intricate motifs, decorative accessories and even digital ones! Mittal Cards Gallery, Jay Kay Cards and Poddar Cards are among the many stores you can trust to create invitation cards like you’ve always wanted and within a budget that doesn’t break the bank. 

While you won’t find a complete row of shops doing wedding invites one after another like you would in Chawri, there are a lot of stores scattered in the market like Varda, The Printways and Ashoka Cards that do the perfect wedding cards. Punny wedding cards, photo booklets, those with traditional motifs or scroll invites, these stores do everything.

If you’re someone who can’t handle the crowds at Lajpat & Chawri, brands like Vintage Notes Papery, Pink Whistle Man and more will be perfect for you as they do customised invites that are more than just wedding cards. Bottle wedding invites with sand {for a beach themed wedding} or punny favours like thanks for popping by on popcorn bags, these seven brands do invitations and favours that will become keepsakes for both you and your guests.

Central Delhi’s Kaleva Sweets does close to 1000 varieties of sweets including khoya & Bengali sweets, laddoos, pethas, snacks like namkeens and matthis we’ve all grown up hogging on. Honestly, Kaleva is a classic and with mithai boxes from them, you can’t really go wrong.

Khoya is a luxury mithai brand that only uses 100% organic ingredients without artificial colours or flavouring agents. Their mithais look like edible pieces of art and they’re giving the traditional mithais a refreshing twist we can’t seem to get enough of. Belgian Chocolate Barfi, sugar-free Fig Barfi and Filled Kesar Modak are some of our top picks for wedding boxes.

Bikanervala is a safe choice and they do the good ol’ boxes of matthis, laddoos and pethas best. We hear they’ve also started offering customised sweets like custard apple mithai, choco chip laddoo and walnut & cinnamon barfi for wedding boxes that have gotten us drooling just by the very sound of it.

These guys have been around since 1963 and there’s a reason why they’re still as popular as ever. Evergreen is the best option for when you want to order sweets in bulk and they also do sugar-free sweets, namkeen and dry fruit wedding boxes. Kaaju Katli, Kala Gulab Jamun and Rasmalai are some of the most preferred sweets at Evergreen and you can be sure that your guests will be more than happy to receive mithai boxes from them.
