Shopping in India vs London

I’m a 2026 Punjabi bride in London. I’ve began shopping around here for my bridal lehenga in your usual places (southall, the couture boutiques like Bibi London), but I’ve not yet found anything. I am planning to go to India next year for around 2 weeks, I usually go Punjab but I’m happy to stop at Delhi for the purposes of wedding shopping. But I also have some contacts in Punjab who have said they can give me reasonable prices (but as I understand, the variety of styles might be less there).

Can anyone help advise where I should be buying my wedding lehenga from? I’ve been told by people to hold out to buy it from Dehli, but I don’t know how it compares to what is available in London. My budget is around £3k-£4k, but that’s the maximum and ideally I’d rather not spend the entirety.

I have also gotten to this point where I’d love to be able to wear a designer piece on my wedding day (Rimple & Harpreet, Payal Keyal, Marwar Couture). However I know if that’s what I’m wearing then I can buy this from wherever as the price will be relatively the same. Also know replicas are an option (which I’m open to). My main thing is I want a quality piece which I feel amazing in, for a fair price.

Any help would be appreciated! As I’m not sure if I should carry on shopping around in London or if I should hold off till India now.
