Hi all,
It seems alot of you are very clued up in the wedding section so I was hoping to ask a few questions about when to order my dress. We still don't have any dates fixed as yet for the wedding but hubby and I reckon deffo inshallah latest by June 2013. We had our registry back in November but our asian wedding is taking its time to get together due to various factors.
Anyway I have realised the price of designer is well outta my price range sadly but I have seen some amazing designs which I hope to be replicated or choose from a smaller boutique. I have seen some designs- some on Fancy Boutique Palace which are their own from what I gather. And seeking out a few more tailors/ designers so any input would be really appreciated. Others I have seen are on Bargello where a few designs have caught my eye but I worry about the final product. I would rather deal with tailors who at least can show samples of their own work if that makes sense.
What I was thinking was when to actually order the dress. It would probably take another month or so for me to accept or choose a design to work with and then establish if my chosen design can be worked of course. Is my time frame ok to work with considering the earliest the wedding will take place will be March/ April? Are there any tips for buying mostly online? I have been to Southall and some places in Bham in April due to a cousins wedding and looking around myself, and was very underwhelmed by the designs. I absolutely love the longer kameez and slightly layered look with lenghas and would love to wear something like that. Is using a private designer quite a risk? I don't want to risk waiting til I go to Pakistan as I won't have time on my hands before the wedding as the most I can take off work is 4-5 weeks unfortunately else I would've loved to have shopped around in Pak.
