Bandra is known as the “Queen of Suburbs” in Mumbai. But if
you go further North, you arrive in Santacruz – let us say, “The Wedding
Market” of Mumbai.
You will find almost all things which are usually needed in
a wedding – ethnic and designer clothes, wedding invitations, jewellery,
trousseau, accessories, etc.
There are innumerable stores selling wedding and bridal
dresses. And they also come in a lot of varieties. If you want something at a
certain price point, you will find quite a few shops selling incredible designs
at that price. But if money is not a concern, then, as they say, sky is the
limit. You will find shops selling them at upwards of `50000. Also, many of the known designers
have their showrooms in or near Santacruz – Neeta Lulla, Manish Malhotra, Tarun
Tahiliani, Avesh Dadlani and so on. Not only these, many of the shops have
their in-house designers to help you get the perfect wedding dress for your
dream wedding. There are even some designers who render services on a clientele
basis. There are even shops selling men’s ethnic wear such as Kora, Raymond and
Louis Phillipe. You will also find tailors catering to special requests.
And since there are so many ethnic clothing stores, the
jewellery stores are not left behind either. One of the most trusted brands of
jewellery in the Indian market – Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri – has a showroom in
Santacruz. There are others too, such as Manini jewellers, Minawala Jewellers,
Dadabhai Jewellers and Dalichand Kapurchand Jewellers. There are even designers
who operate from their homes and give you authentic, certified jewellery. And
if you are looking for art jewellery, the shops are uncountable. You will find
not only ones which sell as a stall but also big brands such as Sia Art
Jewellery. No need to say that you get all kinds and types of jewellery in
various designs. And if still not satisfied, the jewellery hub of Mumbai,
Waterfied Road in Bandra, is just 5 minutes drive from Santacruz.
Jewellery and clothes are not the only things needed in an
Indian wedding. To cater to this need, there are even stores selling things
such as flowers, trousseau packing, envelopes, wedding invitation cards etc.
Not to mention, there are stores selling wedding shoes such as mojari, bags and
clutches. Brands such as Esbeda and Caprese are all present. You also have
salons such as Enrich present. You will also find cosmetic showrooms such as
Inglot, MAC among others in and around Santacruz. There are even innumerable
sweet shops and cake shops present. There are even caterers around. There are
even beauty clinics and spas such as VLCC, Kaya Skin Clinic, Dr. Batra’s, Kenia
Eye Hospital, Iosis, Aura Thai, Sabai Spa in Santacruz, who offer bridal
packages.
So you need anything related to “The Great Indian Wedding”,
you will find in Santacruz (Station Road and S. V. Road). And if it’s casual
shopping, Linking Road is not far away.
