A number of stage decor ideas have been listed below that you can use for the most special day of your life. 1- For a classic theme, use flowers and fairy lights No fancy stage decor can ever beat the classic elegance of a stage decorated with fairy lights or string lights hanging over a light coloured curtain at the back and surrounded by fresh flower arrangements!

Every bride spends a lot of money on her new bridal wardrobe but it can also easily be ruined if she doesn’t know how to carefully pack her garments or is aware of the right way to take care of them. Following the tips below will help you pack, store, carry and move your bridal trousseau the right way! The appropriate way to pack and store your bridal wardrobe Wrap your bridal outfits this way Every bride spends a generous quantity of money into her bridal wardrobe. That’s why it’s also important that you have wrapped each clothing item securely. Nanis and dadis used to advise the new bride to individually wrap each outfit in an organza or a muslin fabric. Especially outfits like your gharara or lehenga have gold or silver work on them, so wrapping them in organza will protect their embroidery from going black or gathering dust over it. The eclectic bridal trunk Trunks were en vogue during the times of our grandmothers and our mothers because of their storage space. But then they were replaced by compact modern suitcases and similar kinds of luggage. But trunks are back in fashion! Buy a wooden trunk or a […]

A change has recently been noticed in Pakistani shadi trends; Pakistani weddings are getting more and more child-friendly!  Wedding planners are now taking children in account when it comes to planning the perfect shadi.  Children may get excited for the wedding party but they can quickly get restless and bored especially if they don’t find kids of their age to play with! Here are some creative ways to keep children entertained on the most special day of your life. 1- Set up a fun area Setting up a fun area for the kids with a jumping castle and various swings is the perfect way to get them excited! You can also set up plastic doll houses and little kitchens for little girls as most love playing with their dolls while the boys can utilise all their energy on the swings or the jumping castle. While most parents would feel relieved that there is some kind of an arrangement for the little ones, make sure that whatever swings and slides you put in your venue, are safe. Hire maids and servants to watch over the little ones or ask the older kids to do this for you. 2- Hire an entertainer Another way to keep children […]

The one thing that everybody does at a desi wedding is take pictures. And lots and lots of pictures! That’s why the photo booth is one trend that is hitting the shadi waves with much speed!  Plus, photo booths are fun!  People enjoy getting silly or wacky in front of the camera because the whole point is to have a good time and savour that memory. While people are normally taking pictures in various poses and at various places, installing a couple of photo booth stands at a shadi will make the event more enjoyable. Although the shadi is about the bride and the groom, you will see the young people taking plenty of pictures while the elder guests either sit and talk and wait for the food to open. For putting up photo booths at your shadi, you can officially ask the wedding photographer to install photo booth stands at various places. Since this is still a new trend, it could be a bit expensive. If the photographer is charging up extra for setting up a photo booth and for taking the pictures in the booth, then you can do this on your own as well. DSLRs have become […]

1. The Princess Matha Patti Remember Jasmine from the adventure drama Hatim? This look gives off serious princess-y vibes. And aren’t you a princess too? A warrior princess of course, not a Disney-princess-in-distress. 2. The Hijabi Matha Patti Awsome-ize your already awesome bridal hijab with adding on a matha patti. 3. The Adele Matha Patti You remember Adele’s 2012 phase of beehive hair? Well, we all know we can rock that look pretty well in our desi weddings. Add a matha patti around the high bun, and let people know who the Queen Bee is 😉 4. The Koh-e-Noor Matha Patti Get yourself a matha patti with a statement piece in between. Rock it like a Koh-e-Noor on your wedding day because you are the queen of that day. It works really well with hijabis because when your hair is pulled back, this brings attention to the middle of your forehead, forming an illusion of a perfectly symmetrical face. 5. The Let-Your-Hair-Flow Matha Patti If you are wearing a statement matha patti, you should cut out all the elaborate updos, and let your head piece do the talking. This way you won’t look too gaudy, and the attention will remain where it should be. Your beautiful face […]

Makeup Keep your makeup, simple and chic. Dancing and lights can make your face look cakey due to all the sweat. However, if you keep your makeup look simple, not too much base, you will look fresh and bright throughout the night. Hairstyle Keep your hairstyle simple just like your makeup. By ‘simple’ we mean that you should not opt for elaborate updos. Go for an effortless look, like braids or simply let your hair flow. These hairstyles look great and feel great even if you bust out some dance moves on the floor. Also, no flyaways, what more can you want? Shoes If you are planning to have fun throughout your dholki functions, leave your heels at your home. Jutis and flat sandals are extremely comfortable, versatile and you can have a dance-off no problem at all! They come in so many colours and styles. Jutis are the perfect eastern accessory. However, you can also opt for smaller heels which can be just as beautiful and glamorous as high-heel stilettos. Dress Dholki is your chance to wear something which you wouldn’t wear otherwise. While many shaadi functions are formal, dholki is fun and jazzy. Experiment with colours and styles, because […]

Ever since Coco Chanel made the world realise the power of a black dress, and Audrey Hepburn became the epitome of beauty and grace in her black dress in her film ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’, the world still cannot get enough of it.   But the most iconic of all was: Maybe you are one of those girls who just cannot get enough of black. Or you are one of those brave souls who wants to wear a black dress on her wedding day despite all the social stigmas. Or maybe you are just looking around for wedding dress inspirations. This collection of black dresses will convince you that you need a black dress at your wedding! This dress looks like it is coming straight out of the wardrobe of Jodha, the wife of Mughal-e-Azam. This match of  a colourful pullover and an elegant black dress is perfection. This lehnga would even make Beyonce drool. This fusion of fishnet blouse and a floral bottom is a sweet, sweet dream. This is GOLD. No exaggerations. This is the only one instance when I will say that the dress is prettier than the gorgeous human being, Mahira Khan, wearing it. This dress reminds us […]

Trusting your wedding decorator is important. A mutual understanding on the design and theme will ensure that the work is carried out like you want it to. However, some things you need to decide for yourself because these are the important details. Flowers are an important aspect of most wedding decorations. In fact, some of the decorations consist entirely of elaborate flower arrangements. This is why you need to pick your flowers with thought and care. Here are some tips to ensure that you say ‘yes’ to the best flowers for your wedding. 1. If your wedding decorations revolve mainly around flowers, you need to set a budget. Flowers can be expensive, just ask your S/O how much that bouquet costs which they presented to you, ever so lovingly, last Valentine. Not all of us can pull a Kanye, which is why you NEED to set a budget and stick to it. 2. Decide on the theme of your wedding before looking into your flower choices. This Grecian Themed wedding required a minimalist flower arrangement with colours that would pop. For themes such as this, a low flower budget would suffice. 3. If your theme is based on some props […]

Choosing a wedding venue can be stressful. There are so many factors you have to consider, especially when you live in a city as big as Karachi. Shadi Tayari is here to break down the concerns and woes of soon-to-be-weds so that they can choose the perfect wedding venue for their big day. 1. Location In Pakistan, you have to be very conscious about ‘log kya kahaeinge’. You need to make sure that your venue is accessible by both your khandaan waley and your susraal waley. If both of the families live far away, decide on a place in between these areas. 2. Accessibility Since not all of your guests might own their personal transport, you should be considering their accessibility. If the venue is too far from the main city area and buses and rickshaws do not cross the place, you should at least arrange a coaster for them. Otherwise, try searching for a venue which would be an easy-go for everybody. 3. Spaciousness Most of the Pakistani weddings are bigger than the Big Fat Greek Weddings. This is why you need an enormous place to accommodate your guests. There should be enough place to seat all of your […]

Ever since the One dish Law was passed, all of us at Shadi Tayari were thinking about what could be THE dish which could make up for the loss of the elaborate feasts in Karachi weddings. We decided to hold a poll and guess who won with almost 95% of the voting majority? Biryani. Duh! Biryani, the king of foods. But how do you incorporate biryani in your wedding menu without it being boring (not that biryani can ever be boring)? We are breaking down different types of biryani that will bring the chaar chaand to your Pakistani wedding. Biryani is sacred and biryani is special, so do not take it lightly and think well. #BiryaniForTheWin Turns out there are many distinct types of biryanis. Maybe one of these could please your Pakistani taste buds. 1. Bombay Biryani Bombay biryani is a classic South East Asian dish. It was introduced by the Muslim community in Bombay and it will remain immortal through times to come. It is one of the easiest biryanis to make, however, that does not mean it is any less tasty. It is a flavour bursting dish prepared from Indian spices, fried potatoes and chicken. So whether you choose to […]

It is surprising that beach weddings are not popular or even considered in Karachi. Maybe it is because people think that Muslim Pakistani brides do not have to do the whole walk down the aisle or the phereey part. Beach weddings are stunning, which is why we are declaring the arguments against it as completely outdated and baseless. You can do the nikah ceremony as well as the shaadi khaana there too. For those dulhan and dulhaas who are in love with the ocean and want to spend their big day at the beach, Shadi Tayari has got your back. We will form a foolproof plan for a beach wedding in Karachi; an idea your parents won’t be able to resist. Why is a day wedding a great idea? Since the government has placed a ban on wedding venues on operating after 10 pm, you cannot go on with your late night wedding shenanigans anyway. Holding a wedding during the day time will give you more time to enjoy it with your friends and family. Daytime = great lighting = brilliant wedding photographs and selfies! After the shaadi is over, you will have plenty of time left to share your special […]

The number of wedding traditions in Pakistan can be overwhelming and can make you feel suffocated sometimes. So many things are expected of you and most of the times you don’t want to do them at all. If you are one of the rebellious kind, here are some ways you can let the log know who is the boss. 1. Shaadi ho tou shaadi hall mei ho. Susraal ka dar and log kya kaheinge has kept many wedding couples from realising their dream wedding. Whether it is a ceremony at samandar ke kinarey or pahar ki chooti pe, Pakistanis just won’t take a risk. Take a leap of faith, if your mother-in-law and family and friends truly love you, they will cross the oceans to celebrate your special day, hawksbay phir kya hai? 2. Shaadi mei sirf korma ya biryani. Most of the people fear that if the food at their wedding isn’t the traditional Pakistani food, they will probably become the talk of the town. And not necessarily in the way you expect. That unwanted guest from the mohallah: Bhae ye kya pizza shizza rakha huwa hai, ye bhi koi khana ha? That other unwanted guest from khandaan: Meine […]

You know there is a Shaadi in the house when you have a constant migraine, ever increasing To-Do list, a couple of miss matched pajamas from the Darzi and un-annouced guests. This is the sole reason where you wish for a fairy God-mother who would come to your rescue in glittering gold to help you with the workload that is going to last ages. The most prominent part of any Desi Shaadi is the planning that has been going on from the birth of the Larki, where Dadi of the house would claim all the gold from the baby’s birth gifts should be locked up in the bank locker to give as Shaadi ka Tohfa on her big day. Even with extensive planning, and a dozen of cousins working on the wedding, somehow you do end up crying on that gotay ki beil that has to be picked up from the Beil wala to be at the tailor’s for the wedding veil design. Irony isn’t it! This is why we, at Shadi Tayari have come up with the most amazing wedding gift ever for the bride to-be for their detailed planning scheme and carrying out the workload.  The wedding checklist […]

This is an inspirational stories for all brides-to-be who are determined to get the perfect body for their wedding. You can do it! I nearly lost it while losing my weight! Being “zero sized” became a trend just after Kareena Kapoor drastically changed herself from being hatti katti to single haddi. Most people, instead of having a normal weight, started to visualise themselves as her. It seemed like people were are going crazy trying to achieve the ‘zero size’ or maybe an almost invisible physique! Well, I shouldn’t be pointing others out as I am also included in the list of extremists who could cross any limit to shrink their size. The journey of losing weight started just after I completed my intermediate. While I was a college girl, I weighed 57 kilos that was a bit more for my 5.4-ft height. I used to admire slim people and always wished to have the same physique as them. However, my passion for losing weight was stimulated even more when people started passing comments on me. Among all the irritating comments, one was, “apni umer se bari lagti hai”. That comment would seriously make me lose my mind! I just wanted to […]

Wedding shopping is fun and all, as long as you have the right people along with you. Some people can make even a window shopping spree feel like an exhausting chore, while others can turn it into a day you will remember for the rest of your life. Now, we don’t know all the people in your family and friends, but we will make a general assumption about the people you should avoid taking along for your wedding shopping. 1. The Dulha Don’t even consider it. You will ruin all the element of surprise for both of you. Yes, his opinion matters to you, but that doesn’t mean you have to involve him in everything you do especially wedding dress shopping. 2. The Mein-Mein Some people have a knack for making everything revolve around their existence. No matter how much you love them or how close of a relative they are, you need to leave them home. They are the kind of people who will go along with you for your wedding dress shopping, and you will return home with two dresses and KFC takeaway, all belonging to THEM! 3. Bacha Log Yes, we get it. You love your niece […]

So the Facebook post of this Indian Bride Purvi Thacker  went viral yesterday after her Pakistani best friend’s visa for India was rejected!   She wrote on her Facebook post: For all those who know mine and Sarah Munir‘s friendship, you will understand how heartbroken we are that her visa application to India for my wedding in December was denied. That my best friend cannot be there for what will be my biggest day is something that I cannot come to terms with. Forget the hustling, the paperwork, the months of coordination and prayers – we didn’t know that it would end with a rejection. Sarah has visited India and I have visited Pakistan, where we have stayed with each other’s families. Her ammi and abbu are like my own and her family and siblings are like my own and we have visited mosques, churches and temples together. It’s not until our respective countries/governments remind us that it is unusual for us to be doing those things together that we think of each other as “Pakistani” or “Indian.” It’s extremely sad that even though we have never let religion, nationalities, our shared history and even cricket come between us, incidents like […]

Marriage is a tricky agreement that everyone has to make in their lives at some point. But it is better to take your own time and marry when you are ready. Here are the 5 reasons why you should not get married early. 1. The strict Saas fear You won’t have to deal with a strict Saas. If you get married you will have to accept her presence and you can’t run away from her even if you want to so it is better to be safe and take your time. 2. You need your privacy You will lose your privacy if you get married. And will have to look after each and every person in your husband’s family even if they annoy you. 3. You can spend money You can spend as much money as you want without being taunted by anyone from your in-laws. 4. Party time You can party with any of your friends at any time. 5. Sleeping is your priority You can sleep as much as you want. 6. Gol rotis is a tough task You won’t have to make gol rotis for everyone in your susraal. About Shadi Tayari We at Shadi Tayari love […]
