Bridal Trunk — FAQs



Everything you need to know about booking a bridal consultation, custom and ready bridal wear,
formal and party wear, bridal jewelry, timelines, and shipping — from Bridal Trunk in Mississauga.


APPOINTMENTS, CONSULTATIONS & VISITING US


Is the bridal consultation free?
Yes — completely free, no strings attached. Consultations are by appointment only, so every bride gets
our full attention. Book a virtual consultation from anywhere, or visit us in person at our Mississauga
boutique.

How do I book a bridal consultation?

Tap the booking link in our Instagram bio (@bridaltrunk.ca), book through our website, or call +1 (647)
705-8654. Tell us your wedding date and whether you'd like virtual or in-person, and we'll confirm your
appointment.


Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes, and they're free. We meet by video call wherever you are — many out-of-town and U.S. brides start
virtually, then visit in person to finalize. Virtual consultations cover outfits, custom orders, and jewelry, just
like in-store ones.

Who should I bring to my consultation?

Bring the one or two people whose opinion you trust most — your mom, sister, or best friend. South Asian
bridal decisions are family decisions, and we're set up for that; a small group keeps the focus on you.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Inspiration photos you've saved, your wedding date, and your list of events — mehndi, sangeet, baraat,
walima, reception. Matching jewelry to an outfit? Bring the outfit or clear photos of it. A budget range helps
Yes, and it's the best way to do it. We plan every outfit and the jewelryus pull the right pieces, but it isn't required.

Where is your store, and when are you open?

We're at Unit 26 – 3460 Platinum Dr, Mississauga, ON L5M 2S4, in Ridgeway Plaza. Hours: Sunday 1–10
PM, Tuesday–Saturday 2–10 PM, closed Mondays. Bridal consultations are by appointment only — call
+1 (647) 705-8654 before you come and we'll have someone ready for you.

CUSTOM BRIDAL & FORMAL WEAR


Can I get a custom bridal outfit made?

Yes — custom bridal wear is one of our specialties. Your lehenga or bridal dress is made to your measurements and design, and an appointment is required to start one, virtual or in person. Book a free
consultation to begin.

How does the custom process work?

It starts with your free consultation, where we finalize your design, colors, and embroidery style and take
your measurements. A 50% deposit confirms your order, our designers and craftsmen make your piece,
and it's typically ready in 6–8 weeks. When it arrives, you try it on at pickup — or, if it's shipping to you,
the remaining 50% is due before it leaves.

How long does a custom outfit take?

Typically 6–8 weeks from the day your order is finalized. That allows time for proper construction and
handwork — rushing it affects quality, and quality is the whole point.

How early should I start shopping?
With custom timelines of 3–4 months, starting 6 months before your wedding keeps everything relaxed,
with room for delivery and final touches. Shopping ready pieces instead? Any time — they're in store now.

My wedding is in a few weeks — is it too late?

For a fully custom piece, under 6–8 weeks is usually too tight. But our ready bridal wear, formal and party
wear, and jewelry are in store now and ready to try on. Call +1 (647) 705-8654 and we'll tell you honestly
what's possible for your date.
Can I bring my own design or inspiration photos?

Yes — most of our brides do. Bring your photos and our design team will develop the look into an original
piece made to your measurements, in your colors and embroidery style. That's exactly what the free
consultation is for.
How much does a custom outfit cost?

Every custom piece is quoted individually, because fabric, embroidery, and handwork differ from design to
design. Your exact quote is confirmed at your consultation before any deposit — the 50% deposit is only
due once you've finalized and approved your design.

Can I change my design after my order starts?

Tell us as early as you can — changes are easiest before work begins on your piece. Once construction
and embroidery are underway, options narrow, and your designer will always tell you honestly what's
possible at that stage.

READY BRIDAL, FORMAL & PARTY WEAR

 

What bridal and formal wear do you carry?

Indian and Pakistani bridal wear — classic red bridal lehengas, modern bridal maxis, and mehndi outfits
— plus wedding and party wear for family and guests, and sherwanis and groom wear for him. Everything
is hand-picked for South Asian weddings in the GTA, from the baraat and walima to the sangeet and
reception.

Can I try pieces on before buying?

Yes — that's how it should work. Book a free consultation or call ahead, and try on ready bridal, formal,
and party wear in our Mississauga boutique before you decide. Nothing is sold blind.

Is everything on the website available in store?

Most pieces are, but bridal stock moves quickly, especially before wedding season weekends. If you have
a specific piece in mind, call or DM us before your visit and we'll confirm it's in store for you.


GROOM WEAR & FAMILY

What groom wear do you carry?

Sherwanis and groom wear for the nikkah, baraat, walima, and reception — classic and modern styles —
plus sherwanis and formal wear for fathers, brothers, and groomsmen. Everything is hand-picked for
South Asian weddings in the GTA.

Can the groom get a custom sherwani made?

Yes. A custom sherwani is made to his measurements and design — fabric, color, and embroidery
chosen with our design team at an appointment (virtual or in person). A 50% deposit confirms the order,
and custom pieces typically take 6–8 weeks.

Can we coordinate the groom's outfit with the bride's?

Yes — couples book a consultation together all the time. Bring the bride's outfit (or photos of it) and we'll
match the sherwani's colors and embroidery tones so you look like a set in every photo, for every event.

What do you have for family members?

Formal and party wear for moms, sisters, bridesmaids, and wedding guests — outfits for the mehndi,
sangeet, baraat, walima, and reception. The whole family can get dressed in one visit instead of running
store to store across the GTA.

Can both families shop in one appointment?

Yes. Book through the link in our Instagram bio, our website, or by calling +1 (647) 705-8654, and bring
the whole party — bride, groom, and family. One appointment, everyone's looks planned together.

How early should the groom start?

Custom sherwanis take 6–8 weeks once the order is finalized, so starting 2–3 months before the wedding
keeps it stress-free. Ready sherwanis are in store now if your date is closer.


BRIDAL JEWELRY


Where can I buy Indian bridal jewelry in Mississauga?

Right here. Bridal Trunk is in Ridgeway Plaza at Unit 26 – 3460 Platinum Dr, Mississauga, with one of the
GTA's widest selections of Indian bridal jewelry — and you can try everything on in person with your outfit
before you buy.

What types of jewelry do you sell?

Bridal jewelry for every event and budget: kundan, polki, and gold-plated sets, semi-precious and
handmade pieces, and designer collections by American Diamonds and Ifrah — plus 925 sterling silver for
daily and party wear.

Who is your jewelry designer?

A large share of our jewelry is designed by Ifrah, founder of American Diamonds — known for fine
craftsmanship, lifetime shine, and pieces that photograph beautifully. We also hand-pick designs each season, so the collection you'll see is always current.

How often do you launch new designs?

We hand-pick and launch new designs roughly every month, so there's always something current in store
and online. Follow @bridaltrunk.ca on Instagram to see new pieces as they land.

Where do you manufacture your jewelry?

Our jewelry is made at our manufacturing units in the USA and India. Every piece goes through strict
quality checks before it's shipped to us in Canada.

Can you match jewelry to my outfit?

Yes — bring your outfit (or a photo of it) to your consultation and we'll match kundan, polki, American
Diamonds, or 925 sterling silver sets to your colors and neckline, for every event from mehndi to walima.

Can I get custom jewelry made?

Yes. For bridal jewelry, we always recommend a custom order: discuss your requirements with our senior
designers and craftsmen, by appointment, and your set is made for you. A 50% deposit is due when your
order is finalized, the balance before shipping, and custom jewelry typically takes 6–8 weeks.

Can I see a jewelry piece in person before buying?

Of course. Visit the Mississauga store to try pieces on, or order online and choose free pickup in store.
Many brides bring their outfit and decide in front of the mirror — the way it should be.


ORDERS, SHIPPING & PICKUP


Which countries do you ship to?
We ship anywhere in Canada and the United States.

What does shipping cost?
Shipping is free anywhere in Canada on orders over $100. Under that, it's a flat $5 within Ontario, $10 for
the rest of Canada, and $20 to the USA.

Can I pick up my order in store?
Yes — local pickup is free at our Mississauga store. We'll email you when your order is ready; bring your
order confirmation, and call +1 (647) 705-8654 before you come so we can have it waiting for you.

I'm not in the GTA — can we still work together?
Absolutely. Start with a free virtual consultation, plan your outfits and jewelry with us online, and we'll ship
your order anywhere in Canada or the USA. Out-of-town brides use the same custom timelines and
deposit structure as local ones.
