Damn these prep issues !

Guys … I am one odd case !

I have never been to a Pakistani Wedding … so I am literally clueless ! so excuse my very Naive questions !

**The Situation: **
The wedding will be in Islamabad , walima in Lahore. I am not going to have a mehendi celebration to keep it extremely simple and islamic. Although my dad gives me the confidence that i can spend as much as i want , I want to be humble and spend as less as possible yet trying to get quality rather then quantity. ( being a normal human being , I wanna look good on my wedding day :slight_smile:

The Questions:

1- Has anyone attended any weddings in the Laraib Wedding Hall in I-8 Markaz market? any reviews ?

2- Do the hall walay generally do the decors or do we have to do them seperately ?

3- How long before the wedding date do you book with the beauty parlor? ( any recomendations of good but non expensive ones in islamabad ? )

4- Any good photographer from Islamabad , ( i am not looking for the top names , just some good photographer ) ? how long before the event do we need to book with them ?

5- does any one know any good bridal mehendi artiste from Islamabad ?

Thanks ladies … for helping me out :slight_smile:

Re: Damn these prep issues !

I think it would be better if u get the decor done by the flower walas u can find them in F-10 markaz and Jinnah super too they have albums just choose what u want from the albums.

its bettr if u get the parlour booking done a month before the top and expensive ones in isb are depilex, daniella, millee and sobias (she used to be cheap but her rates have gone up too) among the cheaper ones as u know i would say seemi then theres natashas in f-6 ...nikhar is very cheap but their makeup is veryyy traditional and i dont like their base.

u can get good mehendi from any good parlour and i think i told u abt the photographers right??

Re: Damn these prep issues !

Wow mahismart you are always soo helpful in every thread! hugs

Gotta love mahismart. She's my hero :-)

Mahismart ... that was a fab video .. thanks my dear ..it looked awesome ...
I am not doing the mehndi bit ... as I want it to be a two day function .. Nikah and Walima ...

So I guess, will have to create the magic in those two days ...

but thanks so much mate for your wonderful advise and help ...

Stylo .. thanks my dear as always for your wonderful help ... you know i do remember hearing a bit about natasha's .....

Does anyone have any pics of brides done by them ?

Re: Damn these prep issues !

oh btw i went to the flowers wala in jinnah super today and i was quite dissapointed by the samples they had i liked them better in F-10 markaz

Isn't it fun, wedding planning? Where are you getting your make up done from?

Danelia & janie aren't really great.. senior artists at Depilex are Ghazala, Tani, Sameera and they're good.

Afzl has a branch in Islamabad they do couple shoots and they also have a makeup artist that's great!


yeah it is funnnnn but sharing info and experiences wiht others is even more fun :) ...my makeup will be from Seemis inshallah


really their makeup is good/??i think their makeup isnt expensive either

The makeup is good :)
