Islamabad Brides

Where are you girls? A sister (me) needs some desperate help! Wedding is in 4 months, with nothing done besides the venues and on top of that coming all the way from Canada! :frowning:

Re: Islamabad Brides

Omg I am in the exact same situation as you, but the only difference is I have few more months :) let me know how does everything go? Are you gonna live in isb or come back to Canada eventually ?

Re: Islamabad Brides

^ Start with your wedding dresses and jewelry.. these are the most time taking..

Re: Islamabad Brides

4months are enough for shopping..

first order for your bridal dreses
good luck :XX

i m from islamabad :)

Re: Islamabad Brides

I’m doing in order of importance

**Venue *** if it’s during winter wedding season then make sure ur choice of venue isn’t booked for ur day/
**wedding dress /jewelry /mua *see all the MUA threads & u’ll get the hint ***
mUa also depends for some girls on the dress they do go for , red bridal or contemporary etc,
shoes
grooms clothes
if ur to give the outfit on baarat.

decor: themes ideas etc
Food
deserts

**clothes post wedding & jewelry clutches and shoes **keep it in accordance to what kind of lifestyle 'll be leading- lots of diners n dawats right after the wedding or more focused on semi formals

are you going to be settling down here? Then items for household or furniture /decor .If not then that’s no worry.

and yes 4 months are enough for shopping but make wedding dress a priority because u won’t like verything u see and everything u like wont be available 4 many reasons .
Keep a margin of time for political unrest/delays by tailors & karigars/ alterations.
Note: this stuff happens with desginers too, I’ve had friends n family order from desginers and they have been late & not the requested work lighter kaam and sent right before the weddings so rather then freak out last minute , schedule time so that it doesn’t upset u and u have time to work around it.

l Most important remember it is ur wedding day & just like all other days when plans go a little wry it doesn’t matter in the big picture. take a deep breath & focus on the person ull be spending the rest of ur life with I.A & that is the most important thing:)

If u need to vent all of us on GS are here for you when u feel frustrated :frusty:

:help:

best of luck to all of you :slight_smile:

Re: Islamabad Brides

Thanks everyone, all your replies definitely help.

@majesty: I loved your suggestions, you guys are so sweet and helping lots of newbies like me ~ lol. I will be definitely turning to this thread for venting if needed ;). I was talking to my mom the other day, she said 25 years back when she got married they could just go to bigger/smaller shops and find all kind of dresses/lehngas in different ranges. Does this still happen? I mean i have been to Pakistan only once in last 12-15 years :confused: is it possible that i can go to any good shop and get a great lehnga? which is actually as good as designers? Pleaseeeee let me know if it would be worth doing? I want a great red lehnga that’s it :smiley: so please help :slight_smile: <3
