hey everyone,
I was wondering has anyone worn a sari on their valima, or know of anyone who has
i dont feel like wearing a lehenga, i already wore on on the engagement and will be wearing one on the shadi
DO you know of any good stores where i could buy a sari in karachi
Re: sari for valima?
Since the valima outfit comes from the guys family, u shud talk to them abt it? And if they're OK with it, then go for it... I personally have not seen a bride wearing a sari, but i dont think its a bad thing... Srry I dunno where u can get em from in kHi
Re: sari for valima?
i think a sari would look great on the valima! you could also wear a churidar or a khara dupatta. saris would let you move around and meet/greet your guests wayyy more easily than a lehenga.
just tell your inlaws you would prefer one to a lehenga- thats IF they're getting you your valima jora. i know most people i know have just given money to the brides and asked them to shop for themselves, according to their own taste. i think thats a super nice thing for the bride- being able to shop for herself.
i'd go nuts if my in-laws told me i couldnt wear what i wanted for the valima or anything else, really. talk about controlling! :P
Re: sari for valima?
u can buy a good sari from tariq road. there u can have all the varieties and range. my cousin told me that ... she is in karachi.
Re: sari for valima?
thanx everyone!
i get to buy my own clothes :D
im going to karachi 2 weeks b4 the shadi, if anyone could mention a few store names for the sari itd be awesome otherwise ill just go exploring :)
Re: sari for valima?
Mango, try Rabi Center on Tariq Road, they have some nice stuff in various shops. I think you will see most of the shops offer atleast some nice outfits. Dont ignore the small shops, sometimes they have the cutest, most unique stuff.
Re: sari for valima?
I think a saree is a great idea, my mom wore one for her valima, and she always said she felt much more comfortable walking around and greeting her guests, plus she got a lot of use out of it that she probably wouldn't have gotten from a lengha. You can get lovely sarees on tariq road, but did you have a prefrence on what type of kaam, and material you wanted, cause there are specific shops which are good for the type of saree you're looking for.
Re: sari for valima?
I've had a cousin wear a saree on her mehndi, which looked gorgeous. I think saree on your Valima would look even better. Go for it.

Not necessarily..it really depends on how much experience one has wearing a sari, the heaviness of it etc.. my valima lengha was very easy to handle and to walk around in because it didnt have as much heavy kaam on it.. The same wud go for a sari, if its very heavily embroidered with an equally embroidered duputta, then it wouldn't be that easy to handle, just like any other bridal dress...

mangotango....is this paari?
Re: sari for valima?
I attended a valima in january and the bride was wearing a sari with a separate duppata to cover the head, she looked awesome.
Re: sari for valima?
i know somone who wore a sari, sorry i can't share pic. but she used her pullo to cover her head and it looked really pretty. those beauty parlor ppl know how to put the sari on for a bride so don't worry.
Re: sari for valima?
hye girl
i havent seen any bride wearing sari on her walima but the idea is not bad
it will look different atleast......
Re: sari for valima?
my cousin wore a sari for her valima with a duppatta, it looked so pretty. it was quite heavy, but then the sari wasn't very heavy... she styled the duppata really well... sorry no pics!
Re: sari for valima?
Well…the girl that i saw wore it kinda like this, but the sari was a lot more flashier color wise but had no kam and the duppatta was VERY heavy, guess she knew that she’ll be wearing that duppatta with that sari just once and kept the sari simple so she could wear it again.
Re: sari for valima?
actually shah she is indian kind of sari
the above pictured sari doesn'"t look cool
it wud be look superb ager tuo pakistani style main pahni jati :)
Re: sari for valima?
i liked this sari of Mohd Mehdis collection:)
:love:
Re: sari for valima?
all styles of a sari are Indian…there is NO Pakistani style…except the one where they keep the palloo too short 
anyway…saris look great for valimas…I’ve seen several brides do this. It does need to be approriately heavy because you are likely to see many of your guests wearing saris too…
and if you are particular enough to search, you can buy saris that have a matching shawl done in the same fabric and embroidery design to wear as a dupatta.
will be hard to find such a solution in Karachi though…
Re: sari for valima?
Did not know you can get matching shawls with Saris, Muzna is it only a Shadi thing or can you do it with a dressy one to wear like a shawl/cover-up?
