is there anyone u have in pak like a cousin or friend who can get you a dress? even a ready made one from pak will be much nicer than the ones u can get here. the dresses in devon look nice thru the glass but when u look at them from close up the material is not nice at all and the work is not neat. plus u wud need somehting that fits u well and a dupatta that falls nicely. so even if u can ask a friend to get u somehting ready made from pak it would be better since they know ur build and would be able to get an appropriate size.
look at some designs online and they can get one that is closest to it. i would say that invest more in ur dress and skimp on the decorations stage etc cuz ur dress is for YOU whereas the hall/stage etc is more for everyone else’s enjoyment..
were sticking with ashyana mainly because we dont wanna take the responsibilty fo caterers. i went to empress, i didnt ike it that much tho. ashayana- i loved the place and the manager was extreeeemly cooperative and helpful and sat us down and went thru all the options of what we could do etc. at empress we were just shown the rooms and that was it. the ppl didnt really give us much imprtance.
i understand that its hard to decide whether to have a simple thing or a full blown traditional one. my own thing is gonna be simple, im not inviting loads of ppl, im just inviting those ones who i really want to be there. well probably have less than 80 ppl total both sides included, this gives us more face time. this way we can afford to make it look nice too cuz all the expenses are not going into the guest list but will be distributed evenly. were gonna do the decorations ourselves for the mehndhi and nikah. at party city u can get really cute things. and were gonna have it in the rec room of our apt building. so think abt whats important to u at the end of the day.
