For future GS brides, are you looking into borrowing/taking some jewelry, clothes, etc from your mom or sister to wear on the wedding day? Maybe starting an heirloom tradition, if there isn’t already one?
For those who are already married, did you use some pieces belonging to the family on your wedding day?
Something Borrowed
I wanna use my mum's necklace that my Mumani also wore for her valima. It's a 5 layer one I think. Can't remember what tht style is called though
Re: Something Borrowed
I wore my nani's earrings for my mehndi. They were given to my mother as a gift just a couple of years ago, so i borrowed them from her! i wish i could post pictures, they are the most beautiful pair i have ever seen!
(i do plan on getting simillar ones made next time i'll go to pakistan! They will inshallah be given to my youngest sister at the time of her wedding!)
Re: Something Borrowed
My best friend wore her MIL's gold for her valima, and my sister borrow my eldest sister's jhoomar for her wedding day.
I wish I could wear my mum's stuff but she didn't really have a proper wedding so she didn't have a wedding dress etc etc. And my naani didn't really do a big wedding either.
I'd probly borrow my sister's gold.
Or otherwise wear something blue AND borrowed
Re: Something Borrowed
On my mayoun, I wore my Khala’s silk kurta that she wore on her mayoun, along with my Ammi’s pajama from her bridal khara dupatta 
Re: Something Borrowed
My mom says she's gonna have me wear all her jewellery.. in fashion or out of fashion, she doesn't care. =D
And neither do I. I'd love to wear her jewellery.
Re: Something Borrowed
awww I love this 
I have my eye on couple of my moms things and she’s so excited for me to wear them because it means so much.
I found a red sparkly kurta of hers which she made herself. So I’m trying to find a picture of her wearing it because I want to wear it the exact same way. So excited!
Re: Something Borrowed
I really regret not wearing my mothers Valima dress for my Mehndi. Its an emerald green gharara and it would have been perfect. I did walk in under the dupatta though. For wedding, I wore an heirloom sath lara, jhoomer, and tikka. It belonged to my great grandmother and ALL the girls in my family wore it. And they are beautiful pieces, so I was thrilled!
Re: Something Borrowed
The heirlooms sound lovely. And so does your mothers valima dress. See if you can do something with it now, who knows!
I have to go search for my mothers wedding and valima dresses in the storage because I also want to use at least one piece from those to make my mehndi outfit. Her wedding dress was blue and she made it on her own, so I was thinking to make a pink + blue combo for my mehndi. Lets see what condition I find her dresses in, though.
Re: Something Borrowed
whole family have same size 
khaala, maami, mom, MIL, Sister …
Re: Something Borrowed
^Not necessarily, but you can get it adjusted for yourself. Plus the gharara/lahnga's can fit anyone (usually).
Re: Something Borrowed
My mum gave her wedding dress away years ago which makes me so sad, it was a stunning red gharara with a beautiful kiran dupatta, I would have loved to have walked in using the kiran dupatta as a goonghat. She has her gold still, i'A if I have a separate nikkah I'd love to wear it then.
Re: Something Borrowed
I wore my Dadi Chandi Payals on my mehndi :)
Re: Something Borrowed
Im going to wear my moms bridal lehnga on my mehndi and her jwlry on baraat inshallah
Re: Something Borrowed
hmmm...honestly, I didn't like my set, it wasn't my style, so I don't know if I will want to pass it on to my daughter to wear. But I think if she likes it, I'll be fine with it.
