Are you a bride-to-be all set to pack up your world in suitcases? Well, we understand that being a bride, you have to take care of a lot of things besides your bridal look. But worrying about what to pack in your wedding trousseau should not be on your list. As you start your life in a new place with all the new stuff, ShaadiWish has a proper printable bridal trousseau checklist of all the necessary items that you should not miss. This checklist will not only make your trousseau packing hassle-free but will also make sure you don’t miss out on anything!
Here’s a printable bridal trousseau packing checklist:
From Clothing To Jewellery And Other Bridal Essentials, Here Is An Ultimate Bridal Trousseau Packing Checklist:
Outfits
1. Saree And Lehengas
Being the newlywed bride, it goes without saying that you need to carry a couple of sarees or a few lightweight lehengas in your bridal trousseau. From quick temple visits to soirees with relatives, many occasions need you decked up as a newlywed bride.
2. Statement Blouses
While all your sarees come with blouses, having a few extra statement blouses handy is never a bad idea. This opens up an opportunity to style your look in multiple ways and also allows you to borrow a saree from your mother-in-law’s closet if necessary.
3. Indo-Western Outfits
There will be times that you would have to wear something traditional but with a twist. So, you can go for some Indo-western outfits in different styles, colors, or silhouettes for those times.
4. Festive And Casual Suits
Being the newlywed bride, you would need some stunning suits in your trousseau! After the wedding, you will be attending various parties and dinners and for that, you need to look fabulous in your ethnic attire. You can pick some designer suits for such occasions.
5. Honeymoon Outfits
While packing your bridal trousseau, it isn’t just about ethnic wear. You need to add a few western wear outfits that fit for your honeymoon too. While this section is based on your preference, we suggest that you carry about 2-3 pairs of jeans, 1-2 pants, about 5-7 tee shirts, 5-6 tops, and 3-4 cute dresses.
6. Lingerie, Lounge Wear & Night Wear
Again, a must-keep! When it comes to lingerie for your trousseau you have to keep every type of lingerie ranging from classic to basic. Don’t forget to add some trendy swimwear and nightwear for your honeymoon.

Accessories
1. Bridal Jewellery Sets
So, when it comes to bridal jewellery, carry the jewels you bought for your wedding functions. Along with those, pack in modern jewellery like other dainty neckpieces, daily wear earrings, and oxidised jewellery that sits well with your day-to-day fashion.
2. Statement Earrings
Want to ditch heavy necklaces on some days? Then you need those heavy chaandbaalis and Afghani jhumkas to accessorize your look. Make sure your bridal trousseau has statement earrings that can amp up any outfit.
3. Bangles/Kadas
Since you will have a few suits, sarees and lehengas packed in your trousseau, ShaadiWish suggests you carry bangles and kadas to style your outfits. They can be made of gold, silver or glass. Similarly, if your outfits are better paired with oxidised jewellery, then definitely pack a few pairs of metal bangles too.
4. Sunglasses, Saree Pins, Bindis, & Hair Accessories
Saree pins, bindis, hair accessories and sunglasses are amongst those elements in a bridal trousseau that often don’t get as much attention as needed. No matter how many bindis, pins, or rubber bands you have, they are never enough! Moreover, add a couple of sunglasses to the list too, to get those gorgeous honeymoon pictures.
5. Statement Belts
To take an outfit from drab to fab, add a couple of statement belts to your bridal trousseau. You can also create some fabulous Indo-western looks with a belt too.
6. Bags
How can we miss bags in the bridal trousseau checklist? Plus, after your wedding, a single bag wouldn’t do as you need to have a proper collection with tote, slings and clutches or even potli bags.
7. Types Of Footwear
As a new bride, it can often be confusing about the kind of footwear you should pack in their trousseau. Keep the number to about 8-9 pairs that range from heels, flats, sneakers, ballerinas, juttis etc.

Makeup
You just can’t forget your makeup kit in your trousseau. Keep all the products that you use. There are chances that you forget some basic products such as cotton pads or makeup removers, so make sure you keep them as they are very important.
However, if you wish to create a whole makeup trousseau, then here are all the things you need:
- Primer
- Foundation
- Concealer
- Contour
- Bronzer
- Blush & Eyeshadow Palette
- Eyeliner/Kajal
- Setting Spray
- Mascara
- Makeup Brushes Or Beauty Blender
- Setting Spray
- Lipsticks
Skincare & Fragrances
First thing first, carry your skincare according to the most basic rule – CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturising). This means you need to carry your cleanser, toner, and moisturiser. Then, add the extras in, like a face mask, scrub and lip balm.
For fragrances, pick something that speaks to your style. If you like deeper notes, then go for woody, musk-based perfumes, for something light, opt for floral and fresh notes. Pick two, for your bridal trousseau and you can then build up your collection.

Luggage
Traditionally speaking, a bride’s trousseau in the olden days used to be a massive trunk that carried everything she needed at her husband’s house after getting married. However, the definition of a bridal trousseau has evolved over the past years. Brides now opt for a set of good-looking luggage bags. To wheel it to your honeymoon or even to pack all your bridal trousseau in, we recommend a stylist set of 3-5 luggage bags of a variety of sizes to take care of all your travel needs.
Grooming Essentials
Amidst the plethora of things in your bridal trousseau, make sure you also pack your grooming essentials. Everything from trimmers, facial razors, wax strips, and an epilator for any grooming woes. Also, make sure you add your hairstyling essentials for those myriads of post-wedding dinners, a good blowout is a must. If you’re a curly-haired bride looking to embrace those beautiful curls, consider adding a diffuser to your styling routine! And if you love the sleek look of straight locks, a straightener might be just what you need.
