Re: Shaadi Season…Bridal Pictures

@suroor_ca02

yep i had blood red colour for my nikkah dress. actually i need two more dresses, one for rukhsati and one for valima. valima is coming from my susraal, already told them what i want. but for rukhsati i want ferozi ( matches with the jewelry i already have) with some pink shade.
here is an idea for u.. my cousin made a ghararah of atishi, dark purpulish maroon and turquoise ( more on the green side) on kamkhawab with thin embroidery on just the borders. it looked gorgeous.

yes ive seen that too its looks gorgeous im hoping to get one made like that too, its got the traditional; red maroon but a new contemporary twist..but i don thtink im gonna have enough time to have it made! im gona be going a month before the rukhsati! is it easy to get nice stuff like that ready made?

salaam ira how are you!

Re: Shaadi Season…Bridal Pictures

@Ira

was the suggestion for me? thanks so much yaar. But it seems like i am not gonna have enough time to get the dress made from scratch. Roughly how long do you think they take to do the embroidery? Everyone has been telling me that they have such gorgeous designs and color combos that I wont even need to get it made from scratch. But I want chota and halka kaam, not the heavy borders and huge flowery patterns some of the traditional kaam has. Any more suggestions?

Also we will mostly be shopping for my jahez clothes in Lahore InshaAllah. If you knwo of any exceptional shops or darzis please let me know. Thanks yaara.

When in lahore, specify that you want nazuk work not heavy per motive this way you can choose to get bareek kaam. Remeber though that bareek nazuk kaam is more expensive as its more time consuming to fill a fabric with fine embroidery than heavy embroidery which fills up space faster with mota work. You can ask for resham, tilla and dabka/kora of 19 number or finer so that the kaam is delicate. give your self atleast 30 days for bridal dresses though tell the shop keepers two weeks earlier than when you need the clothes cause unfortunately no one is every punctual about delivery times. Best of luck!

Lovely sahar, mashallah!

congratulations.

could u guys post more pictures of colour combos of ferozi, turquoise colour combo? i am thinking pink but can’t decide whether it shud be shocking pink or baby pink.
thanks in advance!

I thought you already got married? Where is it going to be in Canada? I think baby pink is beautiful. I hate dark colors for a bride.

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

All I want to ask you desi women is where in the US can I get a dress made from scratch? Or lets say I buy a very plain dress and I want to add embroidery to it, can I? I only ask b/c Arabs don't wear colorful dresses like you guys for the wedding so I'm going to wear white but I still want it to have beautiful embroidery on it and make it look eastern in a sense.

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

^ Majestic.. i found a few sites that do desi bridal dresses in US.. is that what ur after? a desi outfit?

[Majestic]

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

^ No I know lots of people who do desi outfits and sell them, but what I was asking can they do the same work on a wite dress.

i am not a big fan of “boutiques” and “ready made” clothing in the bazaar. i like my shalwaar kameez or any dress made from scratch. i am veryyy picky when it comes to desi clothing. we have certain places ( our family has been their customer for 2 generations now) where we get our clothes made from scratch, we have our own tailor, embroiderer, the place where we usually buy the cloth that we want for the dress. so my dress was made in 2 weeks ( it was put on urgent)! since they know us pretty well. but normally it takes a month or so for a heavy dress like my nikkah one to be made. plus it was kundan ka kaam, which at that time wasn’t that popular yet. so there weren’t lot of places that were making that “kaam” yet.

i already have my mayoN dress made, again made from scratch n imported from aligarh, india its a dark yellow (zardi) kameez with churidaar pajama and has a web of “patti ka kaam” with shocking pink roses and green leaves all over it. – there another idea for u guyz
Majestic: i am nikkahfied, rukhsati is at the end of this year inshallah after i finish my studies.

• if u r looking for something halka phulka, go for some gorgeous printed silk and have its border embroideried with sitaro aur nago ka kaam. with bareek nazul gold filling. make sure the lehanga/gharah has a big border at the bottom, it avoids any “lachak” in it. u can have the dupatta with small borders though. n leave the shirt plain.

[Ira]

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

Oh wow suroor those are some very good ideas!!!I especially like the idea of taking printed material and then getting kaam done on it. I guess I can plan all i want to now but i wont know how things are until i land there. :( But what do you exactly mean when you say the border for lehanga should be bigger to avoid lachak? What does lachak do to a lehanga?

[suroor_ca02]

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

it puts a bit weight at the bottom of the lehanga so it doesnt fly all over in the wind ( u dont want that happening infront of so many guests :D ) lehangay ko wazan dena takeh woh neechay gravity say seedha rahay aur upar ki taraf na khiskay. i hope u understand urdu.

Re: Shaadi Season…Bridal Pictures

great ideas suroor… man i love u girls theres so many people getting rukhsat and nikkahfied.. its so cool! such a happy feeling… arrite me is done being corny

suroor u and I are gonna be in pak at the same time… !

Ira, i dont even get choice of what i wear… im still stuck on wearing a goldy cream colour though.. i just need a picture! ive lost the one i had in mind..

[Majestic]

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

Why are you girls all getting married in Pakistan?

[suroor_ca02]

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

nice sadzz!
maj: because our relatives are there. its much more fun to have wedding with ur family friends and cousins around. and mashallah i have a huge khaandaan. n i love big weddings in pakistan. wahaN shaidyoN ka maza kuch aur hai. :-) my nikkah was huge n i am guessing my rukhsati n valima will be bigger. i am looking forward to all the hulla gulla n parties :D

[Ira]

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

suroor: thanks for the explanation. I was thinking maybe that was the idea behind it, so the material stays put but wasnt sure. now I really really want to get my dress made from scratch :( If anyone has names/addresses of places in lahore who would do kaam and stich your lehanga in a short time, it would be really helpful!!

Majestic: I aint getting married in Pak but here in Chicago InshaAllah. Just going for the shopping bit :D

sadzz: i was just browsing through GS yest and found quite a few nice pics. I think you should check out previous threads such valima wear by Blushing vision (i wonder how she is doing!) and a few others. Or if i get around doing that, i remember seeing a golden-offwhite lehanga that was gorgeous, and i might post it for ya :)

Re: Shaadi Season.....Bridal Pictures

sadz, I was told that golden Lehnga/dress doesnt look good in the pictures .. althought I also thought of golden, I then changed the idea to purple.

Take a look at this, perhaps you can get it made with full sleeves…

Or this one- you can ask them to make it one piece like a gown?
