The budget for your trousseau should be created keeping in mind the overall expense. While everybody wants to look special on his/ her big day, keep in mind that it's just an indulgence. It's also highly unlikely that you'll wear your wedding outfit ever again.
It's usually Indian custom for the groom's family to present the bride with her wedding outfit and jewellery. It does make sense, however, if the bride's parents chip in too, maybe returning the favour by gifting the groom something suitable.
