Revealed! All the Wedding Shopping Secrets of Model Town, Delhi

Bustling with the Delhi University college crowd of the North Campus, Model Town is ever a busy part of Delhi. Lined with popular food joints and shopping centres, Model Town can be called a replica of Chandni Chowk. The only difference is that it came into existence in the 1950s, whereas Chandni Chowk has been the very crux of Dilli for thousands of years. Amidst the residential complexes and the restaurant constructions, you can find yourself surrounded by apparel and jewellery shops showcasing the latest wedding and party wear collections on display. Circling out the best wedding shops in Model Town, we present to you a map that will help you save time and hit the right hotspots for a great shopping experience in town! Take a look.

1. Best Makeup Studios In North - East Delhi

If booking a makeup artist for all your wedding functions has still not been finalised, then visiting G.T. Karnal road side of Model Town will lead you to the hub of makeup artists and makeup studios. You can visit famous salon chains like Looks Salon or VLCC Model Town if you swear by the brands. If you are looking at getting your wedding makeup done by professional MUA’s then visiting studios like Pretty & Handsome by Aishwarya or Xpressions Salon by Simmi Ghai and the likes will be a great option. The biggest benefit of finding your makeup studio match here is the number of options available, giving you a chance to consider several options before finalising on the one for you. Negotiation at an artist’s studios to getting HD wedding makeup services are some of the contrasting choices you will find here.

2. Cocktail Dress Emporiums

For your pre-wedding shoots, cocktail evening or even a reception, Model Town market consists of many local emporiums selling an array of cocktail dresses. Unlike Chandni Chowk, Model Town sellers focus mainly on getting the collections designed in-house, which ensures unique designs to the wearer. Designer studios like Ritu Narang Couture and Sepphora by élan keep refreshing their collections every season, offering the latest trends and their creative designs in both ready-to-wear and custom-to-order catalogues. The price range of cocktail dresses here ranges between ₹3,000/- to ₹30,000/- and more depending on the design, raw material used and the making charges. Like many other Model Town market shops, you can try your negotiation skills here for discounted rates as well!

3. Wedding Hand-Clutches

The bride and her team put in so much effort into deciding that perfect wedding trousseau, but often dismiss the importance of having a hand-clutch to go with the marriage look. Hand-clutches can work as emergency makeup kits, cellphone holders or simply add-on as a classy piece of accessory to your otherwise fully embellished wedding look. You will come across many stores at Model Town market, offering custom-made hand-clutches apart from their readymade designer collection as well. Aran by Shrreya is one such store that’s famous for incorporating the latest runway designs to its latest collections. A designer-to-customer market, Model Town always offers a scope of negotiation and such accessory stores are no different.

Our Suggestion - Take the dupatta of your wedding trousseau to match the best clutch design to your overall bridal look.

4. Pakistani Ensembles

You will be surprised to know that Model Town has a few select stores that dedicatedly focus on selling Pakistani style wedding ensembles. A walking distance from the Model Town Delhi Metro Station, you can visit RC Pakistani Attire Inc and Ruzhan Pakistani Concept among others offering an array of Pakistani traditional attires. The famous Angrakha, Ghararas and Shararas are some of the prominent styles you can specifically check out at these stores. Being distinctly from the Indian Lehenga styles, Pakistani designs can bring a change in the traditional trousseau that many brides-to-be seek for their wedding look. Stylist’s Tip - Since Pakistani wedding ensembles have flowy silhouettes, make sure that you dedicate time towards getting the right fit.

5. Designer Jewellery

While you are out trousseau shopping, it’s always a great idea to decide on the wedding jewellery along with it as well. You will find many jewellery stores spread across all phases of Model Town, but a few of them offer unique designer jewellery that is one of its kind. Abhika Gems and Jewels offer contemporary designs set in semi-precious stones that are a sure shot red-carpet showstoppers while Caratlane offers traditional jewellery in real as well as imitation stones. The best way to visit the prominent jewellery stores in Model Town is to direct your maps towards Gurudwara Nanak Piao Sahib.

Best Way To Reach: Avoid taking your own car as parking spaces are limited. Model Town Delhi Metro station is bang on the main road leading to all the phases of Model Town. A cab or an e-rickshaw is the best way to commute between phases.

Negotiation Tip: Just like Chandni Chowk, you can expect wholesale rates at many shops at Model Town as well. So go ahead and hone your negotiation skills to the T.
