The most beautiful way to plan wedding dresses for aunts of the bride is to coordinate rather than match: one shared colour story, but each aunt in her own silhouette, shade and level of work, so mausi, bua, chachi and mami look like a family in the photos and still look like themselves. At House of Daisy, our showroom on Golf Course Road, Gurugram, one consultation can plan the whole group, and there is no minimum group size.

Why not identical outfits?
Identical outfits rarely suit everyone. One aunt loves sarees, another has never worn a lehenga, a third wants sleeves, and a fourth will be dancing. Identical pieces also flatten the photos into a block of one colour. Coordinated outfits keep the family visibly together while respecting each woman's comfort and taste.
How do we build a shared colour story?
Start with the bride's outfit for the function, then choose a family of colours that sits beside it. Three common approaches:
- One colour, many shades: blush, rose, rani and berry, each aunt in a different depth.
- Two colours shared: for example teal and gold, each aunt wearing them in a different balance.
- One fabric, many styles: one fabric made into a saree for one aunt, a suit for another and a lehenga for a third.
Our shade cards make this easy at the showroom, and relatives in other cities can get swatches by courier, and photos, so everyone agrees before ordering.
How do we decide who wears what?
Let each aunt choose her silhouette first, based on her comfort and her role at the function. Then assign shades. A simple plan might look like this:
- Mausi: a silk saree in deep rose with a gold border.
- Bua: a lehenga in rani with a lighter flare for dancing.
- Chachi: an anarkali in blush with a heavier dupatta.
- Mami: a sharara set in berry with mirror work.
Customs vary by family and community, and some families like the bride's mother's sisters and the father's sisters to have their own palettes. Ask the bride's parents what they would like.
How can we tie the group together beyond colour?
- A shared motif: theme motifs such as peacock, floral or Radha-Krishna can be embroidered to order on family outfits.
- The bride's motif: if her lehenga is from House of Daisy, family made-to-order outfits can carry the same motif or border in a lighter version.
- Matching borders: the same border on different silhouettes is subtle and looks lovely in group photos.
What if one aunt wants to stand out a little?
That is perfectly fine, and often lovely. The aunt with a special role, perhaps the one doing the kanyadaan rituals in some families or leading the sangeet dance, can wear the deepest shade of the palette or the richest work, while the others stay a step lighter. The group still reads as one family, and her moment is quietly marked in the photos. Customs vary, so let the family decide who that is.
How does a group order work?
One bridesmaid or family group order can mix ready and made-to-order pieces freely. Aunts in other cities or abroad send their measurements using our guide, with a video call for help, and finished outfits go to each person's own address, anywhere in the world. Pieces we make to order are made to your measurements and hand-embroidered in our atelier.
Start about four weeks before the first function for lighter work, and about eight weeks for heavy hand embroidery. See our group orders page and the guide to outfits for the bride's mother and sisters, and browse our wedding-day collection together.
Book one styling appointment for the whole group at Shop 226A, 2nd Floor, DT Mega Mall, Golf Course Road, DLF Phase 1, Sector 28, Gurugram. We are open every day from 11 AM to 9 PM.
