ever been to a wedding where the bride entered/left in a dholi? i think its a really cute idea but ive never seen it at any of the weddings ive been to. what did it look like? who carried it? what did you think?
hmmm,so far,i have also not been to such a wedding..
i think its such an adorable idea- i went to my friends wedding from my college and she doesnt have any brothers- but she was carried in the doli by our guy friends and there were three in front and three in back and i think it was soo adorable the only funny part was the doli is heavy wen the girl sits in it with her 1000 pound wedding dress so the guys walk like penguins and u see them struglle walking in with it haha lol but i think its realli cute :)

Re: dholi for the bride
All weddings in my family have brides leaving in a doli, it's a tradition.
I think it's less common nowadays because it's hard to cram a bridal lengha into a doli without crushing it and getting in and out of one is hard to do elegantly too.
Re: dholi for the bride
I've only seen that happen in movies to be honest, never been to a real wedding where a doli is used.. seems cute.
I think its a very traditional idea, as in olden days when there were no cars, brides usually were carried in a doli.
Usually the brothers or cousins of the bride carry the doli.
Its a good idea for these days weddings, if you want people to talk about your wedding, being unique.
The doli is made of bamboos and wood. The inside of the doli is usually lined with foam and cushions. So its not uncomfortable with a net or a thin cloth for the curtains.
Here are some pics of dolis for ideas. You can put a modern touch to it by adding flowers.
Dolis are also good for mayoo or mehndis..
Re: dholi for the bride
I’ve wanted to have the dholi on my wedding since i was a little 
I think it’s so cute! A friend of mine went to this wedding, and the Dholi was totally matched with the bride’s outfit! And her 4 brothers ( mash’Allah) carried her…awww 
Let’s see who will carry me.. or if i even get the chance to sit in it.. :halo:
who is carrying her??? she seems to be in the air!!
but this style of doli is better!!! its easier to get in and out!!
LOL!..
Re: dholi for the bride
i def want a dholi for my mehndi, like when i enter and maybe for my rukhsati too, that would look awesome...i just hope im not heavy and like the dholi falls or breaks haha
Re: dholi for the bride
I really wanted one for my mehndi at least...but dint get one. oh well
at my brother' in laws wedding, the bride came in on a dholi (on the wedding day). it was sweet.
Re: dholi for the bride
My fiance loves the idea. I'm not too big on it -- in fact, I don't fancy it at all.
Anyway, I'm doing it for his sake and since he knows I like doings things differently, he has gotten me a Glass Doli for the wedding. Its quite wonderful, I admit. Nothing like the flowers and traditional type.
Re: dholi for the bride
ive been to a couple weddings that have dolis but i lyk the traditional american idea of the father giving the daughter away so im gonna have my dad walk me to my fiance. and besides i have 2 brothers and they are both so young.
cute but not for me.
Re: dholi for the bride
almost all the wedding i have been to had dolis. in pakistan and in dubai.
hmm...any pictures?
Re: dholi for the bride
I've always reallly wanted a dholi, but I only have one brother. And no guy cousins to do it. :(
So I don't think I'll ever be able to have one.
^ friends for rent!
Same!! And only one guy cousin who could match up with my bro.. but i’m still short of 2 more men!
