babe if allenora does it wholly then its 50k.35k is wen she does da instructions,eye makeup and final touchup.alot of ppl. are recommending ather so il fix an appointment n see him. den ill let u know as well. Bunto is great but Karachi based so not sure if thats workable for u. Karma is very elegant but dey have become very repetitive so every other bride in my circle ends up wearing the same thing. their designs are so abused in terms of being copied as well.I reaalllyy like ROUGE but they were beyond my budget i.e. have atleast 200,000 for their dress. they could do in a lower budget i.e. 100k but it wud lack the bridal lustre. If they suit your budget, you should go with them. i have their no.s if you want. again not sure how much u wana spend coz it depends on how u think;for me its a limited time wear hence id rather spend on jewellery or gifts for my in-laws family/fiance. however since u r not from Pak. it makes sense to just give it to a designer. my mehendi is in Defence Community Hall. Like u, i have all my guests coming from abroad only so not more dan a gathering of 120 for mehendi and 270 for weddin n valima.my wedding and valima are IA both outdoor events, being held at Jasmine Garden DHA and Model Town D-ground block respectively (Catering by deewan-e-khaas). one thing we considered was distance from my place (since all guests wud b staying dere or close by).both mehendi n wedding venues r 5min drive from my house-makes everything very convenient.
