I’m an April 2018 bride so I’ll probably be posting a few threads here and there for advice and suggestions! Bare with me!
I’m going to Pakistan this October-November for wedding shopping. We’ll be going to Islamabad and I haven’t been to Pakistan in probably over a decade! So I really have no idea of any shops and such there. We do have family there that can help us with it and will, but I figured if any of you have recent experience with shopping in Islamabad then some advice and suggestions would be appreciated!
I will be shopping for both mine and my fiance’s Nikkah outfits so I need to know of any good shops in Islamabad and surrounding areas that sell decent ready-made things, and also of any good shops that custom make dresses incase we can’t decide on a ready-made! And are there any good shops for men’s sherwani’s and such? Party-wear and post wedding outfits is not that big of a deal, I’m more worried about getting the wedding day outfits made and on time for both me and fiance. How long does it generally take for a dress to be custom made if you have an idea already of what kind of dress and kaam you want? My stay in Pakistan is around 7 weeks.
Any help is appreciated, like I said I haven’t been in over a decade, and I don’t think I’ve ever actually been to Islamabad. Just Lahore and Karachi. I know there are previous posts about shopping in Islamabad but I just wanted a recent and updated list of stores we could visit.
Cestlavie, There are some really good Bridal wear shops entering Pindi , I have shopped from Mohsin and sons multiple occasions and their dresses are awesome.
is it possible to get a nice bridal outfit in Rawalpindi for say 700 dollars?
designers are pretty expensive what if someone dos not want to spend much on a dress…
check mohsin and sons for bridal.
and there are some boutiques in F10 markaz for formal and semi formal wedding outfits.
Also Oct/Nov is not a peak wedding season in Pakistan so if you place your order in first week of your arrival, then you are likely to get in 4-6 weeks time.
