I was wondering if you had pics of othwer brides who went for the exra red veil?
please share.
red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
It's not a new trend started by her lol, it's called a ghoongat and has been happening since the beginning of time. I had a separate ghoongat as well, as did pretty much every bride in my family before me and most others I know. But then again, I've been married 16 years lol. Anyway, the ghoongat is lifted off after the Nikkah is read
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
i know the gunghat is not new style..
but it has reappeared in the mordern hall type of wedding in form of net veil rather than the tradition dupatta. I see it has surfaced back as a modern piece to have at a baraat. it is usually a square shaped net thrown on top of the bridal dupatta that is pinned.
Any one has more pics?

^ again not really. mine was a proper organza veil with a delicate border. it wasn't just a square shape thrown over or pinned on the head. I'm surprised it's seen as something modern or a new trend. I guess it differs from family to family. Just goes to show how much weddings have changed if a proper ghoongat is seen as new or modern lol..there's something to be said for keeping hold of traditions.
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
^ hmm maybe it does differ from family to family.. we never have a veil to cover the bride's face during baraat ... however during the mendhi,, the bride always wear her dupatta a bit down and not pinned up like at the baraat and walima. But then again in our family nikkah is always done the morning of mendhi.
when i saw ayeza khan wedding pics, and the weding i attended last week, my first thought of the veil was more of the english tradition adapted rather than the gunghat

Actually it's not new at all.
She borrowed the entire look from Bollywood movie Jodha Akbar which came out a few years ago. It was kindaaaaa in fashion then but I guess she's trying to bring it back or maybe just liked it a lot.
It's okay. I don't think she pulled it off as well as Aishwariya did though.
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
I had one too for rukhsati tome, as have many others at weddings I have been to. It is very common here.
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
my mom had it too ... a full sheer ghoonghat (not a square patch) over her bridal dupatta. she married early 70's
I had it for my henna only ... but it was a traditional super wide duppata (not v sheer) pulled low over my face. I sat the whole event with a ghoonghat and it was lifted by my husband at the end of the night during the photoshoot after the guests had left ... lol. I married in 2010.
i think its just a case of old is new again.

I have seen it a lot on Memon brides.
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
Not a new trend at all. It’s been done many times in the past few years, depending on whether the bride wanted it or not. There are a few pictures in the Bridal Pics sticky if you’ve got the time to go through the thread 
Just a few pictures from over the years:
This picture is just a few months older then Aiza’s wedding. Her entire ensemble is white, and the red ghoonghat is just an extra dupatta
She used her actual dupatta as a ghoonghat for the pictures only
Loads more pics in these boards

Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
thanks for the pictures.
Well i was thinking of adding this veil..apparently ghoonghat the correct name...to my light peach baraat dress.
my mum made me a nice one in orgenza..it looks very nice on...however when i tried to take a picture with my phone..it didnt come out as see through and the material appeared rather shiny type. Also the orgenza material doesn not 'sit' properly on the head.
Should i go for thin net instead?
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
Organza will definitely give you flashback. Net, fine georgette or chiffon will deliver better pictures. If you’re using net be sure to finish the edges. Nothing worse than unfinished edges on net. It doesn’t unravel but it needs finishing.
Here’s a pictorial of what various materials look like as veils.
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
^ you are such a great help!
the organza looked exactly like in the picture you have attached.
I guess the first net will give the best view. Where do i find this? how is it called?
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
Haha thanks.
So I looked up what exactly bridal illusion is, and turns out it’s just tulle. You can get it at any fabric store, in any color. This blog post explains the various types of tulle.

Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
I have seen this so many times the best i likes was very thin net it looked absolutely gorgeous
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
Brides in veil look elegant, good idea.
Re: red veil at baraat - a la Ayeza Khan
My cousin had a 'goonghat' 17 years ago at her wedding in the UK. Her wedding outfit was cream and emerald. The goonghat was a sheer emerald.
Nikah had been done in the morning. Her goonghat was lifted by her hubby after she sat down, and with a mirror placed in front of the couple. Classiest and sweetest goonghat removal/lift and first time of couple seeing each other.
