Planning a wedding in Chandigarh or Mohali comes with many decisions, and renting your bridal lehenga, groom’s sherwani, or elegant gown is one of the smartest choices for style and savings. At Roohdaar India, we provide premium, well-maintained outfits so you can focus on creating memories. This guide on how to maintain rented lehenga sherwani shares practical care tips during and after the big day to ensure you return the outfit in excellent condition and avoid any issues.
This detailed guide shares practical, easy-to-follow care instructions tailored for rented Indian wedding wear. Follow these tips to keep your ensemble looking flawless throughout your celebrations.
Why Proper Care Matters for Rented Wedding Outfits
Rented lehengas, sherwanis, and gowns feature intricate embroidery, zardozi work, sequins, beads, and delicate fabrics like silk, georgette, or net. These elements make them stunning but also require gentle handling. Responsible care helps preserve the outfit for the next couple while protecting your security deposit.
At Roohdaar India, every piece undergoes professional cleaning and inspection before rental, so you receive a fresh, ready-to-wear outfit. Your role is to maintain it responsibly during use.
Pre-Wedding: Preparing Your Rented Outfit
- Inspect upon collection — Check the fit, embroidery, and overall condition with our team at the store in Chandigarh. Note any existing details so you can return it similarly.
- Handle embellishments carefully — Avoid pulling on threads or heavy beading. Use the provided garment bag for transport.
- Avoid direct contact with chemicals — Do not spray perfume, deodorant, or hairspray directly on the fabric. Apply them on your skin or undergarments first to prevent staining or discoloration, especially on light-colored lehengas and sherwanis.
Pro Tip: Schedule your bridal trials and final fittings well in advance. Explore our collection of bridal lehengas and bride and groom sets.
During the Wedding Day: Real-Time Care Tips
Weddings involve dancing, dining, and long hours. These simple habits help minimize damage:
- Movement and posture — For heavy lehengas, lift the skirt slightly when walking or sitting to avoid dragging or tearing. Sherwanis benefit from keeping the jacket buttoned appropriately to maintain shape.
- Spill management — Blot (don’t rub) any food or drink spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid water or home remedies on embellished areas.
- Heat and moisture — Stay mindful of sweat, rain, or humid Chandigarh weather. Use a light stole or dupatta for protection if needed.
- Photography considerations — Pose naturally but avoid extreme stretching that could strain seams or embroidery.
These small steps ensure your rented outfit stays picture-perfect for photos and videos. For more ideas on styling and coordination, check our guide on coordinating wedding outfits for couples.
Post-Celebration: Safe Storage and Return Preparation
After the festivities:
- Gentle folding — Lay the outfit flat on a clean surface. Fold carefully along natural lines rather than stuffing it. For lehengas, keep the can-can or layers separate if possible.
- Use the provided garment bag — Store it in the breathable bag we supply to protect from dust and light.
- Cool, dry location — Keep it away from direct sunlight, humidity, or heat sources until return. Avoid hanging heavy lehengas for long periods.
- No home cleaning — Do not attempt washing, spot-cleaning, or ironing heavy embellished pieces yourself.
Return the outfit to our store in Centra Mall, Industrial Area Phase 1, Chandigarh (near Elante Mall) within the agreed timeline for prompt inspection and processing.
