wedding as an event: 
Pakistan has a rich culture, its constituent celebrations take a deep root in its long history. Since Pakistan was part of the previously known subcontinent it inherited many traditions and festivals of an Indian Muslim analogy, especially its marriage ceremonies which have been greatly influenced in this respect. As we peek into the tradition, we are basically given a blend of events summarised into these three; the pre-Wedding (Known as the Mehndi), the Wedding (known as the Barat) and finally the post-wedding day event (or the Walima).
highly indorsed, with drapes, chair covers and a variety of assorted flowers( Sun-Flowers are not commonly seen) decorating the scene. The Mehndi becomes lively in the later parts where there is also dancing or singing competitions between the two sides, in which both the young women and young men are most welcome to join and dazzle the crowd with their skill.
The Barat or Wedding day is next, in which the bride and bride groom, are bonded in the eternal and pious relationship of husband and wife. The bride-groom travels from his locale to the residence of the bride, he is most commonly cruising in an iThe Mehndi is the first of the three events, which occurs one or two days before the real marriage ceremony (The Barat). This event is also known as Rasm-e-henna, in this evening event, the bride and groom usually sitting together, get henna placed in betel leaves that are set on their palms by the multitude of guests attending the occasion. The Bride is usually wearing a yellow dress, with little or almost no make-up, the bride-groom and the guests attend in traditional Shalwar Qameez(the national dress of Pakistan). Both the parties also weaThe Barat is actually the name given to the migrating bride-grooms family which comes to the bride`s house, the Barat is often accompanied by dhols (traditional drums)  .Moments after both the bride and the bride-groom are seated the `Nikkah` ceremony begins, which in accordance to the Shari’ at ( Islamic Law), is the pact and proclamation, that hence forth this man and this women are husband and wife, this is done by an imam of the `Masjid` closest to the bride`s house . The bride traditionally wears a red, pink or purple Shalwar Qameez or Gharara which is heavily braided and embroidered, she also wears large weighty jewellery as an accessory which is commonly of gold. The groom wears a Sherwani with a red turban mostly but turbans are begging to become unpopular. The male guests wear suits to the occasion, with the female guests in accordance to the bride wearing Shalwar Qameez. After the Nikkah dinner is served there comes the closing point of the marriage at the time of the `Rukhsati`,  The Qur'an is normally held over the bride's head as she walks from the stage to the exit (or if the ceremony is being held at home, to the main entrance of the house) in order to bless and protect her.r a emblematic dupatta, which ensures the identity of the guests to be one of both the sides. Most commonly the entire marriage hall or tent is decorated with rose berry and symbolically yellow, bright red and orange colours are mmensely decorated car (covered with red roses) or a horse cart, followed by  his close relatives in their own respective cars. On reaching the marriage hall or tent the bride-groom`s family is warmly welcomed by the bride`s family with a shower of rose petals. 
This is a sombre occasion for the bride's parents as it marks the departure of their daughter from their home. The departure of the bride becomes a very emotional scene as she says farewell to the home of her parents and siblings to start a new married life.
The Walima is the final day of the wedding held by the couple as they host their first dinner as husband and wife. This is traditionally organised by the bridegroom and his family to return the kindness of the bride`s side for letting the groom claim their daughter as his wife. The groom's family, specifically his parents, invite all of the bride's family and their guests to their home for a feast. More commonly nowadays, this is held in a marriage hall or hotel instead. The common decoration pattern is based around either purple or white both of which are highly favoured in the society, as they represent a peaceful and calm insurance of a prospering relationship ahead. With carpeted flooring, white spotlights, blue curtains and red roses and white tulips surrounding the stage, the event is mystifying as it provides an air of relief for both the bride and the bride-groom. The bride wears a white dress heavily embroidered which is given to the bride by the groom`s family. The groom wears a tuxedo or a suit, as over the years there has been a little adaptation of western culture in Pakistan.
Finally the end of the Walima draws the marriage to an end, the bride returns with the bridegroom to her new home. While all attending guests return to theirs, Pakistan`s culture is deep and often misjudged but truly Pakistani marriages are a spectacle to marvel at!

what's awedding to bridal:
To some, fashion is some art form. To others, it is almost a religion. But for most people it a way to express yourself, to serve as an extension of your personality
Fashion is something which you adopt to give you look… sometimes it makes you only a matter of attention or sometimes you even become a trend maker. Fashion is not only about dressing it is about all accessories which you carry or may carry. It deals with your day to day accessories but in most common terms fashion is concerned with clothing and wearing. A good wearing can turn your simple day into a special one, and a special day into a memorable one.            want to look her very best on her wedding day; when else will you be the focus of attention of your closest friends, as well as the subject of a photographer chosen to capture you and your partner within a day that is both intimate and public. Every bride deserves to be the special lady of the day and look the best.
      
      As far as women are concerned to special days, the most special day of one’s life is a wedding day. Every woman fondly bothers for her wedding dress, shoes, bag, jewelry and looks. She
 In Pakistan there is no great event in a family than a Wedding. Pakistani weddings are full of traditions, colors and happiness and smiles.  Whatever Pakistani Bride wears, she does looks like a living doll, on her special day. The special make up matched with her dress colour, her yellow chori dar with coloured hand with mehndi colorful bangles in mayuun,  the beautiful red lehnga at barat, and the most attractive one, her shinning shying eyes maks the bride glows more than any in the ceremony.
Her wedding preparations start from many months before. For a bridal the most valuable among all preparations is her dress. Mostly women used to choose Red bridal gharara with short kurti for their weddings but nowadays fashion designers introduced something change.
Designer in Pakistan have modified a lot in last few decades. We can see many changes in bridal dresses in Pakistan of this year. Instead of ghararas many women are wearing lehengas. The dupatta’s color is bit different also cuts of shirts are different. The shirts with lehengas are long and double shirt style can be seen. Previously, shirts were kept simple and the lehngas were embellished with heavy work. But now the bridal dresses of this year collection have heavily worked shirts. The lehengas are very beautiful and are made of banarsi fabric. These are either plain or have heavy dabka work on them. The color which is mostly common is common, but other shades of red with silver and gold can also be seen. Apart from red other colors like purple, green, maroon, green etc. are also in fashion among brides.
Apart from dresses, Bridal Makeup given much more importance Make up for bride is one of corrective, subtle makeup that enhances the best features and enhances her look naturally and beautiful on her wedding day.
