Hiyya friends ,

I have noticed some very friendly people on this forum and thought i will share my dillema here !

I am from the UK and getting married inshallah in March 09 in Islamabad … does any one know any good parlours and possibly their charges ?

Also any recomendations for marriage halls in Islamabad or Pindi ?

Many thanks
Samia

I had my valima in ISB 3 months ago. I had it in PC because Serena was booked and Marriott wasnt taking any reservations becasue of security reasons (we just thought they were being retards but ofcourse after the terrorist attack we knew otherwise..) anyway we ended up doing it at pc. I got my makeup done from MeeLees, the owner herself MeeLee. They arent the friendliest of people. she charged Rs.18,000 but because I was late, she charged an extra 2k so it turned out to be Rs.20,000. I also know the only other good salon there is Daniella's and I think they charge 35,000 for bridal for one day.

^ wow. a salon that actually penalizes desi customers for being late to appointments! thats gotta be a first for pakistan!! sorry, i know you had to pay more, but thats amazing.

I am shocked ! 2K more for being delayed ! thats the last thing one needs on their special day ...

Thanks so much for the responses, I have heard alot about Mee Lee , any pictures of their bridal makeup? do they give the traditional look or is it normally the western natural look?

I have had a bit too much of western natural make up hence now am keen to keep it as traditional as possible ...

Also do we need to take our own makeup and other small things like nail varnish, eye lashes etc or do they have them there ?

thanks a bunch ...Samia

No samia u dont have to take anything to the parlour except ur clothes ...jewlery shoes etc :D

btw the famous parlours of isb include:

   daniella , milee, sobias, and my favourite seemis hehehehe

PC is in rawalpindi not isb ....marriot is sadly destroyed ....theres serena left among the top ones where the securtiy risks r damn high but theres margalla motel, best western and many others also keep in mind in isb we have many parks n grounds and hanif rajput turns them in wondrefull halls so a hotel wont be that much of an issue

Re: Wedding Planning - Please help :-)

hmmmm ... the gift I was thinking of for mr dulha is not for the wedding night , dont want to start a new tradition .. lol ...

since i havnt been to any pakistani wedding till date ! i have no idea what the dulha's normally like to be gifted :-)

i thought of the wedding band coz its quite popular in the uk , in our desi community .. but not sure if thats the case in paksitan as well ...

What should my sisters gift their brother in law-tobe ?

Is it permissible to perform Fajr prayers after the sun has risen?
