Present your gift at Asian Weddings in a unique way with these exquisite trousseau collections.

South-Asian weddings are sometimes often referred to as “Big Fat Weddings” owing to the sheer scale of celebrations and the number of events. Months of planning goes into organising the perfect wedding. It is a huge family affair that involves both the bride and the groom’s families. Across various subcontinent regions, the rituals and customs vary, but some traditions and norms are common in all weddings, and one such commonality is the making of a wedding trousseau.
Wedding trousseau boxes are a phenomenon that comes from the French verb trouser, meaning “to tuck up”, which relates to getting ready in the wedding context. In South Asian culture, it used to be deemed essential in the old times for a bride to have a trousseau box with her when married off to her new home. Although it’s not an essential item today, it is still a much-valued feature that reflects fidelity to a rich tradition.

Gift-Giving with Trousseau Boxes on a Traditional Wedding Ceremony

South-Asian weddings are known for their pomp and show. In South-Asian weddings, gift-giving plays an integral role in the ceremony. Both guests and hosts exchange gifts to express their joy, gratitude and blessings for the newlywed couple. However, while choosing a gift for the couple, you have to keep in mind a few things, like the nature of the wedding event, your personal budget, your relationship with the bride (or groom) etc. After careful consideration, you can proceed with figuring the contents of the wedding trousseau box. However, you also need to be mindful of the presentation. The popular norm is to make a fancy display of this gift so that it is well appreciated. The notion that “it’s not what you say but how you say” tends to hold sway on these occasions. So, for a wedding trousseau, what grips attention at the ceremony is not just the contents of the gift but also its presentation.

FOR A WEDDING TROUSSEAU, WHAT GRIPS ATTENTION AT THE CEREMONY IS NOT JUST THE CONTENTS OF THE GIFT BUT ALSO ITS PRESENTATION
