Re: 2011 Brides
Hey hun,
Sorry that I have been MIA - I just received your PM’s and have replied to both as well as sent you an email! I hope that they ALL help!!!
Deep breaths ----- always a good thing!
Sounds like you are on the right track..atleast you are thinking abotu what kind of outfits you want to wear! For Walima- how about a sharara??? This might look nice since u r already doing a lehngaa and gharara. A really fancy anarkali/peshwaas could look really great too…i have seen some awesome brides rocking them.
How much things cost - hun that is upto you and your family’s budget. I’m with you about designers since where I live no one really knows or cares either. People here do not care about what the fashion over there is either. So take my advice and get something that catches YOUR EYE and LOOKS GOOD ON YOU. And yes .. obviously should be in your budget.
My personal opinion: Do not go too overboard with prices…think about all the things you could be doing with that money. Keep it reasonable and keep in mind it IS your wedding dresses… but dresses you are not going to be getting too much wear out of them afterwards.
You will find stuff with heavy kaam… beading …etc. Anywhere from anarkali to liberty to defense..etc. Its all about how much u want to spend and what you like. And if you are not caring about designer (like me) … then trust me… it helps.
Once you get to lahore and start going shopping, things WILL catch your eye and you will find your perfect outfits. Do not stress too much and focus on that breathing and those exams. 
Now all i have to do is listen to my own advice… minus the exam part…
