Pakistani/Indian vrs White wedding info

Hey girles,

I live in Canada, and here its sooo hard to find decent wedding ideas with an pakistani/indian twist!
It’s all white wedding themes example: Find the perfect white wedding dress, or talking about the cermony (where you kiss the bride). ANd all the google searches I do I end up on wedding bells etc etc, and im getting annoyed!!

I’m just really lost…and would love some help with finding our cultural themes ideas etc!!!

So with all that being said…do any of you know which shaddi websites and magizines, and books and blogs etc etc etc have our cultural wedding ideas and pictures. I’m looking for inspiration and ideas and would LOVE LOVE LOVE and appreciate the help!!!

Re: Pakistani/Indian vrs White wedding info

well, you made it here.....this forum is full of everything for Pakistani weddings! You can look up anything to do with a pakistani wedding in the search bar, and it will probably come up. and if it doesnt come up, all you have to do is create a thread, and people will be more than happy to give you suggestions.

I live in Canada also, but I ordered bridal magazines from Pakistan. but if you dont want to do that, Chapters/Indigo sells Suhaag magazine, which has a lot of Indian wedding ideas (its a Canadian magazine, so all vendors are here in Canada).

There are a couple blogs I know of, but im sure other girls know more:

Inspirational Laddu
Mithai and Marigolds

Re: Pakistani/Indian vrs White wedding info

Change the terms you use in your searches. Try "dulhan" and "shadi." Any difference?

Re: Pakistani/Indian vrs White wedding info

haha I know how amazing the Wedding Section is here on GS! You girls are really quite awesome!! I'm learning soooo much here! But its always great to get info from all sources possible..I really like doing my research...

ManoRani...that is an amazing website...thanks sooo much...that is the kind of stuff I was looking for...anything else like that??

Sahar..I have tried that lol, but nothing of relevence pops up and now im getting frusterated! I just want the info at my fingertips...I have limited time to plan :(

Re: Pakistani/Indian vrs White wedding info

Yeah I know, there's not a lot out there, and it was even worse 6 years ago when I was planning my wedding! No designers had legitimate websites with their stuff. Anyway, try searching by location. If you just want ideas, you can definitely get a lot for image searches. But if you actually want vendors, then search by location and contact them to see if they've done a desi wedding. That's how I've heard about most of the people we know of in this area.

Re: Pakistani/Indian vrs White wedding info

Yea right now i just need ideas...vendors I have...but I need a vision for the wedding whith color themes and ideas and entracnes and colors and centerpeices and favours and shaddi card styles....
AHHHHHHHhh there is too much to think about!!!!!!!!!!!!
