HSR Layout wedding survival kit
- Close to everything: HSR is centrally located for most wedding venues. You have a shorter commute than most guests. Use it — arrive looking fresh.
- Footwear strategy: HSR weddings happen at venues on Bannerghatta Road, JP Nagar, and Koramangala. Block heels or wedges. Carry foldable flats for the dance floor.
- Dupatta pinning: Group photos will happen without warning. So will aarti where both hands need to be free. Safety pin is your friend.
- Clutch essentials: Lipstick, blotting paper, safety pin, phone charger, mints.
What to avoid
- White or cream at ceremonies: Unless heavily embroidered and clearly festive, white reads as underdressed for an Indian wedding.
- Revealing outfits for temple weddings: Many HSR-area wedding halls are traditional spaces. Cover shoulders and chest out of respect.
- Last-minute shopping: HSR to our JP Nagar boutique is 10 minutes. But sizes sell out. Shop at least 2 weeks before.
