my wedding experience

Salaam Everyone,
This place helped me a lot and i thought i would update my status here and try and help some of you bride-to-be’s out there.

  1. My barat outfit was from karma. Karma has been very ordinary lately with their kaam but i liked how the cut was differernt and thats what made me choose it. It was also one of the few places that was in my range so i was quite satisfied with the final product. As for customer service- i think i wrote about that somewhre else on the forum.
    Walima outfit was by this home based designer- I wass really nervous but it turned out really nice.
  2. I got most of my jewellery from sonica and waseem jewellers. Sonica is especailly nice. do check it out.
  3. Most of my other dresses were non designer. but i did have karma, sana safinaz, shiza hasan .
  4. barat makeupwas from mariam khwaja. Great experience. i Love how she does everything from the base to hair instructions and dupatta setting. really enjoyed everything. Walima was by Ather shahzad. kind of assembly line-ish but people seemed to love the makeup so i think it was alright.
  5. i am biggg on decor and arrangements so thats where i spent the most. i did the mehndi myself and it turned out quite well. Nouvelle did my barat and it turned out AMAZING. They are VERY through and i m sure they got a lot of new clients through my wedding. totally worth the money.
  6. My photoshoots were done by deevees and athar of atharshahzad for barat and walima respectively. Both were quite comfortable to work(?) with. Deevees were expecially nice to hand over my shoot in a week because i was leaving for US.
  7. Did cards and favors myself.
    let me know if you need more information on any of these things. i know i am being stingy with the details (just being lazy :p)
    i really wish i could put up pictures but im the type who doesn’t even post them on Facebook so gs is out of question. However i do seem to know some of you here and if you pm me maybe i will send some :wink:
    Hope this was helpful.

you're about to get bombarded with lots of questions from fellow guppies :)

Re: my wedding experience

congrats HO.

Re: my wedding experience

hey where did u have the 2 events? what halls...if you dont mind sharing the charges as well that would be a great help

Re: my wedding experience

ok im overwhelmed by this response.

sana safinaz was my bari outfit.. it was more on the casual side with not lot of kaam but stil quite pretty. the lahore outlet doesnt have a lot of varietyy and frankly they're a bit unprofessional when it comes to delivering on time
I just designed the cards and favor boxes. Did not actually 'make' them.
My events were not in halls. barat was in a ground opposite 1D modeltown. its huge and thts what was needed. mehndi was at my place. It was a relatively smaller event with about 200 people so our lawn was enough.
i got the laila bridal. Its an aline shirt with sharara.
i've tried to reply to some of your messages . I am realy sorry i can not send you pictures of myself but decor and favors.. i am getting around to it.
let me know if i missed out anything.

Re: my wedding experience

how much did mariam khwaja charge you for the barat makeup??

Should I go for her ??

Re: my wedding experience

Re: my wedding experience
