Of all the ways to make your journey down the aisle, using a phoolon ki chaddar (which means “blanket of flowers”) is the most beautiful of them all. Not just because of how incredible a floral, bejeweled canopy looks (especially over a South Asian bride), but also because it’s a sweet homage to the family that’s walked beside you your entire life, and still walks beside you now.
Just a few short years ago it was hard to get your hands on one stateside. You either had to know someone in the motherland, DIY it yourself, or buy one during your India shopping trip. You can still do those things. Or avoid the headache and simply order it online.

This is why I love shopping online. These days, the internet is positively overflowing with vendors who are selling ready made chaddars, in addition to ones that can be customized to match your outfit or aesthetic. They come in a variety of colors, flourish, and style, but no matter which chaddar you choose, you’re guaranteed to feel like royalty.
