Yup, love it and as I said before go ahead and wear it. :)
Re: Wedding wear help!!
Thanks for the help ladies. Now what kind of hairstyle should I do with this? I cannot get my hair done for the mehndi because it is expensive and I will only get my hair done for the rukhsati/shaadi. I was thinking a simple choti? Any suggesstions. Thanks
I have to say i miss the days when mendhis were a lot more simpler, done at the home or in a backyard for us in the states, and girls wore much simpler outfits just made sure they were colorful. Now days something like the outfit posted is typical for even guests to arrive in, and i hate that. at least that's how it feels over here, i understand if ppl are related to the bride or groom then dress up, but when all the guests wear such heavy outfits i don't get it.
i am totally with you on this one! the days of family and running around with uptan ( or however you spell it ) on warm summer evenings with only your closests cousins and best friends they were good days!
fanna mehndis are days to be super traditional in my opinion so a choti or a french plait would look really nice.
Re: Wedding wear help!!
Hi there! Thanks alvena(and others) for the suggestion..I think a french plait would look nice. I know, Mehndis are supposed to be very traditional and I dislike how lavish and modern they are getting. At a mehndi I went to many years ago girls were wearing red and other colored outfits and they had lots and lots of makeup and jewelery. In the old days when I was younger mehndis were filled with mainly families and more green/yellow simpler outfits..I want those days back..I tried to have it like that for my mehndi but my Mom invited a few of her friends..
My experience with designer 'Aisha Khadeeja"
The outfits I did recieve were mashallah se very nicely made, the detail of the work was amazing they listened to my specifications, and they used pure materials and I couldn't be happier!
I have placed an order for 4 outfits.
I have recieved 2 of them, due to the fact my mother in law was in Lahore to pick them up.
Original order was placed in January 2009 with 50% payment-- full payment was made in March 2009.
It is now the end of May and there is no sign of two of my missing outfits.
My event is in a TWO days, and in that order is my mendhi jhora--Which will need alterations and a Saree my mother was planning on wearing to my wedding!!!!
I recieved an email on 5/11 saying my outfit will be shipped within a day. I was not given a DHL tracking number. Clothes were NEVER RECIEVED!
Since then, I've reached out to both Aisha and Khadeeja on Facebook and Gmail and I finally heard back from one of them today 5/27, 16 DAYS AFTER MY SUPPOSIDE SHIPMENT HAS BEEN MAILED- I HAVENT RECIEVED ANYTHING!! My mendhi is on 5/29!!! 2 days away!!!!!
In the email response from Aisha Qureshi, she says that she has already shipped the clothes and I will recieve them in 3 to 5 days. She again did not provide me with a tracking number and what is the point of sending the clothes now when I can't even wear it to my own wedding event.
If placing international orders I would suggest NOT TO unless you are able to have someone in Lahore hassle them on a daily basis.
I have given these designers amble amount of time to complete 4 outfits of mine! January i placed the order we are now approaching June!!! 6 months to complete 4 outfits????? I don't understand.
They are very unprofessional and I will never order from them again. I am beyond upset at the fact that my mother and I have to stress out about what we are goign to wear to my wedding this weekend when I already have plenty to worry about with the wedding preparations!
Also, I wrote them a review on facebook (what is a group page for?) which they ended deleting! This is ridiculous and unprofessional I don't know how they plan to make it in this industry!
