@*HNK*

omg!! you and your mom both are looking gorgeous, mashallah! the dresses on all events are looking beautiful and the blue eyemakeup is to die for! suits u alot

thanks

I love ur mom’s hair up-do! I remember this famous pakistani female singer used to do her hair this way.. i can’t remember her name..

And yes, mommies have a GREAT wardrobe collection! My parents have only been married for 23 years and my mom’s clothes from back then are AMAZING!!!

She bought most of her clothes from saudi arabia and believe me, they still look like new! In fact we still have our frocks etc. that we used to wear in saudi arabia when we were young. The quality is superb, they never get old!

yep she has a wonderful clothes selection too and we lived in saudi for 10 yrs sop she has all those clothes too hehe where in saudi did u live? we lived in riyadh

@sugarplum55

mashAllah u look great

aww thank u

@smile1

you both looked amazing MashaAllah! x

thank you masha’allah

@PunjabiRose

MashAllah - like all the other ladies have commented - you look totally stunning mashAllah on all of your events… all of your outfits have such a touch of uniqueness!!!

Your mother made a gorgeous dulhan …as did you when you wore her gharara. That is SUCH a special idea. My mom is passing her shaadi set to me (it was her mothers before that and her mothers before that!!!) and just like all the other women before me who have worn it, I also plan on wearing it on my baraat day inshAllah Doing things like this have such sentimental value and I absolutely luv it.

yes the point was to be a unique dulhan on each day even when i was at sabs getting my makeup n hair done the lady who was doing my hair said bohot deyr baad itni alag si dulhan dekhii hai…jiska dress bhi aur jewellery aur makeup bhi alag se hain

@somegroovychick

love the re-vamp of your mum’s outfit! well done!
and you and your mum made gorgeous brides!

my mum has a similar gharara- i guess it was the trend back then to make ghararas from that material- what is it, banarasi? mum’s valima one was a dark purple and she’s actually re-wearing it with a new kameez and dupatta to my bro’s wedding in july insha’Allah.

its in the banarsi family it is technically called khimkhaab

@sheyn

***Mashallah , U Both Look Gorgeous !

Love how u’ve contrasted and redone the whole gharara …absolutely stunning ***

thank u hehe my mom was a bit apprehensive abt having a burgundy shirt she was cool with the skin colour dupatta but she was like purple shirt is not good idea lol but i stuck to it
cuz ive only seen ppl contrast red with purple in magazines hehe
n i wanted to do it and wanted to have a totally different colour for the dupatta

@mama_ki_dua

You look stunning MA!

thanksss

@sidra87

beautiful outfit. You and your mom and simply beautiful!

aww how sweet my mother is more beautiful

@Ira

Beautiful MaashaAllah! You look great on all three days. I also have my mom’s wedding gharara which is a similiar kapray (banarsi ) to your mom’s with a similiar dupatta. Now even i am encouraged to revamp it. Too bad i didnt think of it at my wedding.

go ahead and revamp it where iot on someone else’s wedding

@Dubaiwali

wow mA stunning

thanks

@Iksa

MA very nice!

thanks

@nabz

You and your mom are both beautiful. The way you re-designed your mom's wedding outfit is amazing. You looked great all three days! If you don't mind me asking who did your makeup at SABS?

[ll_xx_ll]

Re: My (mom's) gharara b4(1976) n after(2009)

it was saba herself and I asked for the smokey eyes nude lips look :D hope that helps

[JaLpArI4evr]

Oh ok, thanks :)

Re: My (mom's) gharara b4(1976) n after(2009)

Did i say earlier that you looked absolutely beautiful on all the three days. And the gharara is amazing!!

Re: My (mom's) gharara b4(1976) n after(2009)

aww thats so sweey lady gaga...thank u.... /hugz

[simplicity]

ok so I wore my mother's gharaara on my rukhsati and I wanted to show everyone the before and after

here's the before (march 24, 1976):

poof

and here's the after, when I wore it 33 years after (december 6, 2009) with extra kaam and a totally new shirt and dupatta:

poof

why am I showing this? because I want all the girls out there who think that their mom's clothes are too outdated to realize that you can revamp renovate whatever her wedding dress, make it timeless and beautiful and up to date and make it your own

Wow Mashallah you look fab!
Love the way you added your touch to it, Can I ask where you got ur kaam done from? Thanks,

Re: My (mom's) gharara b4(1976) n after(2009)

I havent been this excited abt a dulhans "look" in a very long time. Your mom's gharara has become an heirloom piece and one day can be gifted to a new bride:):) You and your mom are MA beautiful brides! I love the way you personalized the gharara and added a new shirt and dupatta. Purple was certainly a daring choice---Ive always loved pairing purple with reds/maroons. Your clothes are youthful, vintage, traditional and downright gorgeous! The make up works brilliantly on you!

Re: My (mom's) gharara b4(1976) n after(2009)

yes i had it done from palki boutique in liberty market in lahore

wow

@ 11xx11- Awesome idea. You just made your bridal dress all the more special for keeps :=).

Just recently i used a dress from my mom's vari to wear on my bro's mayon. And believe me my whole family is big on wearing nice clothes n dressing up well but everyone was telling me how i just stole the limelight by selecting something that was old but just extraordinary in terms of its work n color. And i have absolute no doubts that your mom's dress was that old cuz i know the work done during those days was called "sucha" kaam for no wrong reasons. Same with few of my mom's dresses she kept safe with her, they all still look lovely and nobody even at this time can replicate them. I was actually thinking of keep the dress i wore on bhai's mayoun for my own but i just recalled that actually the guy's side of the family gives the bride the mayoun dress too, lol. And also that my bhai's mayoun was very special to me too and i just wanted to wear that dress the moment i saw it.

Re: My (mom's) gharara b4(1976) n after(2009)

And your mom's dress is very nice esp the color. Just looking at the pic i got gazillion ideas of how it could have been used :-). Awesome stuff.

[_soniya]
