Re: How do you decide????
I wanted RED!! and I went thru a million bridal dresses...before giving up and going with my gut ...i knew what i wanted...one color...classic..and non sparkly.. :)
Fortunately i stumbled upon an awesome designer in Dallas..who although resides here..but has her boutique in Lahore and Karachi...and for the past 20 years has been catering to desis in US and Canada...a mutual friend introduced us..and we hit it off quite well....did our sketches..I picked out the material from Dallas..and sent it off with the ideas and notes...
both my mehndi and rukhsati outfits came out amazing..unique and thankfully she never ever ever reproduces the same one ever again.. :)...her sworn promise to all her customers...
she designs for the clintons..gov. rick perry's familia.. :) ambanis etc..but..is sooooooo humble and down to earth...she tells you up front what can and cannot be done within a certain budget...yet never disappoints...
i think if you cannot trust your designer..no matter who it is...the fun evaporates....for me it is very important to connect with the person who is making your clothes...because it is what you wear...and what you wear..represents YOU..in the end...not your designer..
