If you’ve ever needed to shop for a wedding, you’ve heard of Delhi Shahpur Jat fashion street. If you haven’t, well, you should! It’s meant for those of us who don’t want the heavy price tag of A-list designers, but also don’t want the generic Indian wear that most smaller markets sell.

There’s something for EVERYONE at Delhi Shahpur Jat Fashion Street, no jokes. But that also means there’s wayyy too much to explore. We’ve been wedding clothes scouting there 50+ times, so you could call us the Shahpur Jat Wedding Shopping experts!

So we boiled it down to the absolute best 26 designer boutiques that you can visit, based on your budget, the kind of styles you like and your requirement (a bride looking for a funky cocktail outfit or a wedding guest who wants a pastel light cape lehenga under 30k!)

Before you get into the complete shopping guide for Shahpur Jat, here’s a glimpse into 4 of our favourite Shahpur Jat Boutiques for brides to buy their Mehendi & Sangeet outfits.

These stores add extra oomph to their designs – the brides & bridesmaids who wear them make a style statement and make heads turn

Abhinav Mishra

Also called The Bridesmaid Expert, he has 2 stores – one is his smaller, original store that houses lighter outfits and the second is Leela, the newer, bigger store with heavier bridal wear. It’s full of the perfect shararas, anarkali gowns & lehengas in a range of colours, our favourites being the oranges, yellows, peaches and ivories.

Madsam Tinzin

Pick a gorgeous Mehendi/Sangeet lehenga or anarkali here and don’t look at the price tag! In fact, their design aesthetic is somewhat similar to that of Abhinav Mishra’s. Hardly anyone will NOT want to buy an outfit from here but the only downside is that they’re pricey. _See more details in the video.

Incredibly well-designed classic silhouettes (lehengas, shararas, anarkalis and saris)

Bageecha

It’s a relatively new store, but it’s full of Benarsi silks that have been given an upgraded look! Whether you’re looking for a gorgeous benarsi silk wedding lehenga, reception sari, dupatta or anarkali – this is THE store to visit.

Devnaagri

“Simply beautiful” sums it up perfectly. The design aesthetic is ethnic, with a touch of contemporary.

Bhumika Grover

She takes traditional Indian wear, and keeps it…traditional! But she adds a touch of designer magic to it. Lately, she’s been adding that magic to benarsi silks and garh cholas.

Whether you’re looking for heavily embroidered or super light, these are the places to find any type of pastel silhouette you want.

Monika & Nidhi

“Delicately offbeat” sums them up aptly. Their speciality is their pastel colour palette – they’re always picking beautiful new pastel shades to create light wedding outfits. And they’re quick to incorporate latest trends into their collection.

Christina WT

Dreamy pastels with intricate, gorgeous, stunning work. Leaves us speechless every time! _See more details in the video.

Liz Paul

They have 2 stores – one for lighter lehengas (on Fashion Street) and one for heavier bridal lehengas (in Jungi House lane). We loved the new patchwork lehengas, and how they add just a touch of funky to their pastels.

Ank by Amrit Kaur

The designs are chic with pretty pastel dhoti pants and crop tops, along with light girly lehengas.

Totally, completely and utterly different.

Priyal Prakash

Her signature style is geometric patterns (stripes & chevrons) in a mish-mash of bright colours. In fact, all those striped lehengas you see the biggest designers using now? She’s the one who started the trend!

Avnni Kapur

Quirky & cute lehengas in a wide range of colours! _See more details in the video.

Gazal Gupta

If your bridal style is BIG & royal, this store keeps grand lehengas with massive gheras and big motifs. Particularly good for velvet lehengas in deep shades. What makes them special is the huge, statement-making tassels on their lehengas.

Ornate

It’s a part of the Gazal Gupta design house. While they also keep pre-draped dhoti pant saris, the designs are different. We love the peplum blouses paired with lehengas here – they’re the best ones we’ve seen in Shahpur Jat! Don’t judge them by the photos – it’s much better than it looks!

QBIK

Funky, edgy, uber-cool. Come here for the Indo-western Cocktail gowns and saris.

See more details in the video.

Agunj by Gunjan Arora

Gave us a similar vibe as QBIK – the “warrior princess bride” look. If you’re looking for Indian wear that’s edgy, creative and stylish, with metallic touches – they’ve got a variety of designs.

We found ALL types of capes (long, short, sheer, high-low) and interesting cross-draped anarkali styles as well.

Megaan

It’s a multi-designer store that houses Gazal Gupta, Akshay Wadhwa and a couple of other designers. But the new designer find, Akaya, made us a happy bunch of wedding shoppers!

For your Pre-Wedding Shoot outfit, Cocktail Gown, Reception Outfits & More

Nitya Bajaj

Perfect for your cocktail! And tons of Indo-Western options.

Riddhi & Revika

Their 3D applique florals gave us a very A-list designer vibe, only cuter! If you’re looking for a gown or dress for your pre-wedding shoot, try this place.

Kanika Manchanda

Gowns, gowns and more gowns.

These specialise in bridesmaid wear – for the sister of the bride/groom, the bestie, and the wedding guest.

Salt & Spring

They specialise in capes and light lehengas. You’ll often spot their signature minimalist leaf & flower pattern on their outfits, which we love for bridesmaids!

One Pretty Girl

Kalista 1

They have 2 stores in Shahpur Jat. This one is in Jungi House lane, and keeps lehengas that even brides can wear to their Mehendi and Sangeet. Kalista is the place for elegant digital print Indian wear, that’s enhanced with a touch of embroidery. It’s a subdued vibe and you won’t find super loud colours here. They also keep a kids collection – the tiny lehengas are adorable!

Kalista 2

Their name will be changed to Malhar soon._ Located at the corner near Nitya Bajaj’s store, this branch of Kalista has super light wedding outfits under 22k – which is why it’s a great pick for wedding guests. While the outfits are simple, their elegance and sheen comes from the fabric used – cotton chanderi silk.

Vaarha

It’s a brand new store with a modern aesthetic – a truly hidden gem! It’s located near Daddy’s Princess by Priyanka Jain and Abhinav Mishra’s Leela store.

Daddy’s Princess By Priyanka Jain

This was a surprisingly good find. Tucked away in a corner, it’s full of outfits you can wear to a relative’s wedding and some really nice pieces for bridesmaids! Best thing is that it won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

The Silk Tree

Another favourite find, go here for an elegant and sophisticated take on Indian wedding clothes. We loved the light benarsi silk lehengas, light suits and draped jumpsuits.

That wraps up our complete guide to Shahpur Jat wedding shopping. Do share this post with a bride or bridesmaid you know – they’ll be thanking you for years to come!
