Every Lucknow couple opens wedding planning with a budget and a promise to “keep it simple.” Three weeks in, they’re haggling over karats with a Chowk jeweller, have inspected four mandap setups like judges at a talent show, and somehow have very strong opinions on lehenga necklines. It happens every single time, no exceptions, no matter how firm that budget felt on day one.
The good news? None of it required leaving the city. From the Aminabad counters that pull out “the good stock” the second a wedding date slips out, to the decorators who can turn a lawn on the outskirts into a full-blown film set, Lucknow’s markets have quietly been running this show for generations. Here’s where it usually begins.
