Re: designing a wedding dress

I can help you with choosing fabric. I am getting married in August 2012 inshaALLAH and i have beein doing shopping like crazy for the last 4 months. Also designed my wedding dress myself. Some Groovy helped a lot.

Choose cotton net / khaddi net for shirt and duappata. These fabrics are the ones which can bear the heaviest of work without getting khinchofyd because of amount of kaam ( a la chiffon)

Crepe for sharara / gharara. Falls beautifully around.

Where r u located Chamak?

Re: designing a wedding dress

I designed mine and hopefully it turns out great! chamak, you can simply go to them ask for color samples to be specific, look at their dresses, you will find something relavant to make them understnad the kind of work you are looking for. Also take the pictures if any and some sketches of your dress with you. Good luck!

Re: designing a wedding dress

This is my idea of the style:

the slit will start from where the lehenga starts and colours + kaam will b in bridal style…

Re: designing a wedding dress

I saw this last weekend in a shop whilst out looking for my wedding outfit. replica, £400 i think.... I considered this too, with more work on it as in real life it looks really simple

Re: designing a wedding dress

i only like the style, the kaam is not bridal at all!

The colours:




I am thinking of getting the frowk made in the champage/creme colour, the lehenga underneath it in dark/marine blue.. and dupatta in red or melon…

I need some advice if these colours will go well together? and the right tones…

Re: designing a wedding dress

I think if you print out the picture of what you want, and even print out pictures of the colours, and even work that you want they will understand. That’s what I’m planning to do, print out pictures of all my ideas, and then also draw pictures of everything from different pictures that I like combined as one bridal.


Is this the “melon” colour you’re referring to? Cos I think that shade looks really nice with that blue, and I’ve seen it with darker blues too, and it still looks really good. I also love red with cobalt and navy blue, that looks awesome too :slight_smile: I don’t know if you’re sill considering black, like in your first post, but i don’t think black and blue will go well.

Re: designing a wedding dress

i still dont know if this would look nice? im a lil worried that it will look mismatched... hence im asking for colour advice... any colours wud b good. I just dont want a dark crowded look... which is y i dont want to go for red/maroon as main colour.

Re: designing a wedding dress

Deeba, I saw that coral outfit in Birmingham a few times from a shop my sister got her wedding dress from, called Meena's Bazaar I think. Price was about £400, was quite sparkly but not sure about the quality of the work :/
