but PF, the nikah is when you're actually a dulhan... i think people so often forget it is the real meat-and-potatoes of the whole thing and when you should actually look like a dulhan and celebrate- after all, you're making a life long commitment to one another- thats not something to be treated as a secondary affair, IMO. the whole reason for people to have a reception at all is because you're getting married, right? no marriage = no dulhan. so when someone is actually becoming a dulhan, i.e someone's bride/wife, then shouldn't they look like one? :)
if circumstances had been different, i would have had my nikah and civil marriage combined into one on our reception day. sigh i guess thats why i feel so strongly about this.
gina, seriously? dude, i am so going to karachi in december iA, and i'm planning to visit every single one of these designer and non-designer stores. i was thinking i'd bring back some bridal outfits for sale perhaps.

^ I agree. Although the 3 other functions we had were bigger than the nikah itself, still for me the most special and significant part was the actual nikah in the mosque, thats the one I have the most cherished memories of and those are the pictures I look at the most to relive it!
cool, maybe I’ll bump into you at some random shop lol. we all know what u look like coz of those gorgeus wedding pics of yours just dont freak out when i scream out Some-groovy-chiiiick, meiN pinks, gupshup se
that is exactly the thing. I don’t want to look a “mini dulhan” on my nikah day personally i am thinking about a pishwas but i don’t know what kind of colour combination would be the best choice. Groovy chick has all ready mentioned some options but does some one has examples? or tried those combinations?
SGC u're stopping-over in Dubai first n then we're going to Karachi =) I know the places in n out! PF I went to Nilofer Shahid's place around 5 days ago and to be very honest ALL her clothes sumhow didn't go well together. The patterns, designs and all nothing I wud've picked up (and I REALLY wanted to)
