by the way…that was such an awkward pose…those photographers in pakistan make you do sign language–i dont know how that looks anything ‘bride-like’..
lol chanda, you managed to pull off the pose without looking robotic... well done!
haha!!aww thanks!! i know....robotic is truly how id put it.... :)
the photographer i liked here in ft worth..is a Japanese lady....very artistic....i think the photos will be very different this time around...since all the pakistani photographers i have met..cater to a very limited style..lets see...i have my fingers crossed...
chanda, i love your pics- you're mashallah so pretty!!! are you desi?
thanks shay!! :) i am 'desi'...what exactly is the correct definition of desi...? born and bread in pak...or born in pak..raised abroad...or.... :) it can be confusing sometimes...
with the price of gold these days, if you can find a good quality gold-plated set that doesn't look cheap and tacky (and there are certainly excellent sets out there), then it is worth investing it.
For my wedding, we were initially going to get a gold plated set, but ended up getting a decent size (not too large/not too small) set from Dubai. It did not come with a jhumar and teeka. I wore my MIL's jhumar and teeka on both the barat and walima day. It just didn't make any sense to any of us on buying them seperately, gold or artificial. Fortunately, my MIL's set matched really well with both my shadi set and the set they gave me for the walima. Plus I wanted to wear it cause they just don't make jhumar's like that any more.
