The study was conducted in the three cities viz: Ludhiana, Patiala and Bathinda from Malwa region of Punjab. A purposive sampling technique was used to select the families having two generations together. A total of 300 respondents comprising of 50 respondents from first generation and 50 respondents from second generation from each of the three selected cities were taken for the study. An interview schedule was developed for obtaining the relevant information. The results were analyzed by using appropriate statistical tools like frequency, percentage, Z test and mean scores. It was found that 71 percent of the respondents from first generation belonged to age group of 50-60 years and 78 percent of second generation respondents belongs to 20-30 years of age group. The education was found to be upto matriculation level for most of the first generation respondents and majority of the second generation respondents were postgraduate. It was noticed that majority of the first and second generation respondents had joint family. It was seen that majority of parents had arranged the marriage of the first and second generation respondents. Parents were responsible for taking decision regarding planning and purchase of trousseau. Magazines and newspapers were the main source of inspiration for the first generation for trousseau with mean score of 4.93 and 4.67, whereas, wedding events were the main source of inspiration for second generation respondents with mean score of 5.03, respectively. Family members were found to be the main influencing force in both the generations for trousseau planning. Price was the most important factor considered by first generation respondents while purchasing trousseau articles, whereas, in style and innovative style were important factors considered by second generation. Specialty stores were used for purchasing of trousseau articles and given first rank by both I and II generation respondents.

Most of the first generation brides (79.3%) were in favour of customized stitching (tailor) and second generation respondents preferred designer dress. Phulkaris and sweaters were least considered by second generation respondents for their trousseau. The purchase of trousseau articles from local shops were preferred by first generation respondents, whereas, shopping from the out of city and state shops were opted by second generation brides. Expenditure on trousseau was found to be between Rs. 1-3 lac by first generation respondents (62.7%) and in case of second generation, it was upto Rs. 7-9 lac, respectively. Social pressure and availability of fashion dresses were considered as major reason for changing trousseau practices by majority of the first and second generation respondents, respectively. Less than Rs. 5 lac as total expenditure on marriage was reported by majority of first generation respondents, whereas, more than Rs.30 lac on marriage was reported by 60.7 percent of second generation respondents, respectively.
