THE DRESS I have so many details to share here that I actually don't know where to start from! The Baraats dress was my main concern! Baraat is probably the most important event in a wedding. (I think so) And That is why I put the most thoughts in my baraats dress!  One thing I knew from the very start.. A Red dress is a BIG NO! Everyone has their own preferences.. I just didn't want a red bridal dresses! I was adamant to have NO RED in bridal dress but my mother convinced me to atleast keep the lehnga red!  When you are deciding what dress you want.. You have to keep the whole look in your mind! If you want to be a traditional bride or a modern bride! What jewellery to wear.. What kinda hairstyle.. EVERY SINGLE THING!  I decided on Gold with Red! My mother wanted a dress FULLLLL OF KAAM! So We tried to find something according to it. We went to Liberty Lahore alot of times! Till we finally found this dress! I got this dress made for 175k from Ghuasia Zari ...
