Re: Which dress is from which side of the family
we're punjabi and the nikah outfit is usually provided by the brides side so she gets to choose, and the valima outfit and mehndi outfit are usually done by the groom's side. but what i've seen done lately is that the groom's side will provide the funds for the valima outfit and the girl selects her own choice thats even better! I've even seen a case where the groom's side pays for the bari and the girl makes it herself. So she does her own jahez and bari.
