Where’s the fun and beauty in packing your trousseau where it looks just the way it is? You’ve put in so much effort and care in your pre-wedding health and beauty...It’s time for your bridal trousseau to get a few decorations and dolling up too, don’t you think? Laces, ribbons, colourful papers and dupattas, the options can be stunningly expansive when it comes to trousseau wrapping, especially sarees.

In fact, a saree itself can be used in a number of ways in the whole packing procedure! So why don’t you take a look at some lovely concepts for saree packing for wedding efforts with names and prices!

1. The saree doll

How about you drape your saree around a cute doll? This is a very popular style for saree packing for wedding and can be achieved by wrapping the garment in a drape around a doll. You could add a few pieces of jewellery, some cosmetic or makeup products in the tray to make the doll look like a real bride. Remember how much you loved to play with a doll as a kid and dressing her up? Well, you could re-live those childhood memories while you prepare to enter the world of womanhood!

2. Jewels and Flowers 

Accessorising your trousseau with jewels? Why not? One of the major criteria involved in saree packing for wedding techniques is to make your wrap look like a priceless gift! And what could be better than ornaments to achieve that particular look? Use colour coordinated jewellery (matching or contrasting) with your saree. Pearls, semi-precious stones, floral jewellery or artificial jewellery can be arranged aesthetically with your sarees to enhance the glam factor of your whole trousseau.

3. Build a Pool!

Do you know the best thing about saree packing for wedding hampers? The subject of packing can become the material of packing! Confused? Well, the flexibility of Sarees is a boon for wedding packing as it can be transformed into any shapes! So how about you make a pool of saree? Use your blue chiffon or satin saree and enclose it with some “fences” to make it look like a pool! Add ripples and waves using laces or colourful paper strips for some special effects. The same fence or borders can be used to make your saree-wrap look like a bed too!

4. The Saree Boat

Building a boat or a yacht like structure with a heavy silk saree with broad borders is not only quite easy to accomplish but looks twice as stunning! We’ve all known how to make paper boats since forever. The same mechanism can be used for saree packing for wedding hampers with the help of a few accessories.

Heavy sarees like Kanjeevaram or Benarasi silk are advisable to use for this kind of packing. Use a small rod as support and decorate your “Saree Yacht” with flowers, ferns and streamers. For an additional dose of fun, place little “Dulha-Dulhan” figurines to complete your “love boat!”

If you’ve read all about the ideas on how to use old bangles for decoration, you might remember the secret hack of collaborating sarees and bangles! If not, let us help you with that! Using bangles in saree packing for wedding ideas could prove to be a two-fold solution for both your sarees as well all those extra bangles!

Stitch your bangles at the borders of your colour-coordinated sarees. You could also use safety pins instead. You will be amazed to see how tying up colourful bangles could completely change the whole trousseau packing game!

We've seen the difference that adding a boat-like addition or a doll makes to your trousseau tray. Let's try to shake things up a little by adding a stand to your saree packing for wedding hampers. We liked how this trousseau packing example from PU Creations has the saree draped over such a stand, with peacock motifs and feathers expertly stuck along the stand.

And then, we come to the conventional saree packing for wedding tray - with the wedding saree, Sringhar elements expertly overlayed on top and held tightly together under a tight cover of cellophane sheets. The floral cache on top with a set of vines and leaves completes such a pretty picture.

Get a customised trousseau tray or stick to conventional shapes and designs like a rectangular saree tray or a circular saree tray. Most vendors are able to this kind of trousseau packing and would give high discounts, depending on the number of packages required.
