I'm BACK and MARRIED (LAHORE)

Hi ladies, I’m back from Lahore and I’m Married. I had the most beautiful wedding of my dreams. It was exactly what I wanted…I just thought I should share my experience with you ladies…maybe it will be helpful for you girls.

For dresses- My Barat Dress was made from Zardozi in Liberty- there was a sample and i totally changed the whole look of it…it was red and green with a small shirt but i changed it into a long open shirt with a lengha…it was gorgeous…
my valima dress was made by Aashees in Liberty…it was a light grey with ferozi…
both dresses were gorgeous…

I had about 15 suits from my jahez…3 of the outfits I had were done from FASHION GHAR in liberty MAKKAH TOWERS- I was extremely disapointed in there service…at first the guy promised they would be ready on the 24th…which was 8 days after my wedding so I agreed because i liked the samples…then I called him on the 23rd to see when I can pick my outfits up…he said they wouldnt be ready until the 28th…which was a big disapointment because i had a wedding to attend that weekend :frowning: so anyhow when i went there on the 28th my dresses were not ready which made me very very very mad- then he promised me they would be ready by 8pm…so i returned by 9..and guess what my dresses were not ready…so i told him I was waiting and wanted my dresses right away…he brought down 2 after an hour…and then at 12;30 he finally brought the last one…drove me insane…but anyhow when i took them home…i tried them on and they were disgusting…the shirt length was long from one side and short from the other side…another outfit had a big whole on the back side…the other suits kaam was all hidden…and all 3 suits were not like the samples…very disapointing…

the rest of my suits were from all over the place…and they ended up being all good

Venue- Topaz in Johar town for the mehndi and the barat…its a beautiful banquet hall…its brand new and the service was very good. the food was great and the price was just good compared to other places =) all the arrangements were amazing

i got my makeup done from Madeehas on the mehndi and the barat…mehndi makeup was just perfect it was light and very natural…the barat makeup was amazing…the barat was signature and i was very happy with the end result…the services were from madeehas too- but honestly i was not very happy with that…the facial was not as good as i hoped..the pedicure was crap…and the manicure was alright…the girls had 4-5 brides and they kept leaving in between to do other things…overall the experience was good with the makeup

my husbands barat outfit was from Dandys…it was a grey sherwani and it was just amazing…the color was very different and the work on it was very decent…

my moms clothes were from Makkah towers in Liberty as well…i think it was called singhar fashions- it was beside Fashion ghar…the outfits were delivered on time and they were perfect just like the samples…even better i would say

my little sisters outfits were from the same tower but they were extremely expensive for kids clothes and the guy was a jerk..i dont even remember the shops name so i wont refer him to anyone…

the photographer was reffered by my friend and he was amazing…my pictures are PERFECT…the video is amazing…and the price was AWSOME!!! he didnt charge like high end photographers…but his work was better then all of them…if you want to get his info plz msg me and i’ll be more than happy to give out his number… =) he gave my pictures within a week and the video at the same time. the photoshoot came within 2 weeks but i got the book style made and its just the perfect thing in the world… =) the photoshoot was really good…

if you have any other questions plz let me know =) ill be more than happy to help you ladies out

Re: I'm BACK and MARRIED (LAHORE)

Congratulations girl! Please try and put up pictures of the dresses if you can. Please, can you tell me what the per head cost was for Topaz, we are considering going for my brother's mehendi there. Please can you give me more details of their interior, their caterer, the hall itself, the decore, the per head cost and the food.

Re: I'm BACK and MARRIED (LAHORE)

Hey Daffy,
I did a wedding at the Topaz. To be honest its nothing too fancy. The parking is inadequate plus the staff was not too efficient. The grooms brother had told the staff to build the stage one way but they did it different. While the bride and groom were making their entry, the grooms brother was busy having them modify the stage and sofa arrangement. Mughle Azam is much nicer and probably in the same range.

hey kairosphoto...i am also planning for mughle azam for my barat function..will you tell me abt their arrangments/decoration/behavors i mean co-operation nd food??charges are suitable .as m handling all my stuff alone so i need little help here..plz tell me

Re: I'm BACK and MARRIED (LAHORE)

Thanks everyone for the lovely wishes...

kairosphoto- my experience at topaz was lovely i loved everything to the last bit...the service was better then expected becoz my father in law knew the property manager so i guess he got us a good deal and all....

anyhow....we paid like 700/head on the mehndi and 8 something on the barat....thats becoz we had that inside guy...so he got us a better deal...i paid close to 16000 for my decor which was wonderful i changed a few things from the pictures they had bcoz i wanted some things to be a certain way so they made the changes and it looked excellent...i think our menu had rice, chicken salan, salads, naans, kulfa, raita, cold drinks and tea...the food was really good...and on the barat rice, mutton salan, salads, naan, ice cream, raita, cold drinks and tea....

photographers name is Umair- he has a shop in defence...secort M...ill confirm the address and then post it...if you girls go to him please refer to me and im sure he will cut down the price =)

Congratulations!

Re: I'm BACK and MARRIED (LAHORE)

thank you

Re: I'm BACK and MARRIED (LAHORE)

so nice to hear such great reviews for Topaz - my baraat is booked there for December inshallah. so I had a couple of questions: did you pick the stage set up from their selection or did you hire a decorator? because 16K sounds pretty reasonable to me. if you can post some pics even of just the stage it'd be a great help.
the other thing is the photographer/videographer - if you dont mind me asking how much were you charged? because i've been hearing 30-40K is the average and the work i've seen are SO NOT impressive. could you please post some pics because im still looking for an affordable option
many congrats and best wishes for you future and thanks for sharing =)

Re: I'm BACK and MARRIED (LAHORE)

congrats!! glad to hear you had the wedding of your dreams :)

Re: I'm BACK and MARRIED (LAHORE)

yes rutab i chose from their selection but made some changes to what i wanted and what i didnt...they accomodated it very well..and the job was well done...if u msg me ur email address ill send some pictures of their work....

the photographer charged me 50k for barat and mehndi- photoshoot and 2 day event coverage, video coverage...i had 1 mehndi album 300 pics, 1 barat album with close to 400 pics, 1 photoshoot book (the new style)...

could you please please show me some pics of your dress, the wedding one. My sister is getting married in a few months in Lahore, and she wants red and green too! We are really worried that we might not find a nice one :(

Please help
