Online Vendors

So I cannot make it to India before my wedding and I was wondering if any of you girls are in the same situation?

I found a few good Indian wedding invitation sites online but I wanted to put my bridesmaids in lenghas instead of saris (it would be much easier for them to wear and they could possibly use the top or bottom separately later) Anyone have any recommended online sites?

Also, are any of you Christian Indian? If so, please PM me. Being born and brought up in the US - I don't know about a lot of the Indian traditions done in Christian ceremonies (I just know about the minnu and sari).

    Sorry, no specific advice as I am not SA and I married a South Asian (nominally) Hindu guy and got all my info from these boards :)  Have you checked out the South Asian bio?  The link is in my signature and there are a ton of individual bios, many of which are Indian Christian.  There are also some reviews of online vendors/bricks-and-mortar vendors.

    I have heard really horrible things about Bargello.com and some iffy reviews about utsav.  I would be very weary of using them.  Before you purchase any clothes, google the company first. I regret not doing that before we purchased my lehenga from DMI India. What I thought I ordered and what  I received bore no similarity and it didn't even fit even though I gave detailed measurements. It was a complete waste of<em> a lot</em> of money.

    I have purchased many sarees and salwar kameez online from a few different ebay vendors and have had a good experience.  If you are interested, I can give you the seller info.
