The whole of the week before was the lead up to the wedding, we had the Chura ceremony, the Maiyaan, and then finally the wedding. Not to mention all the late nights preparing and making food for the various functions that were held during the week! The wedding was absolutely great, it was an amazing day, and very emotional, but I won't go too much into that.
There was a lot of drama in getting the dresses for the reception delivered to the UK on time, at one point the tailors actually asked us if we could postpone the days of the pre wedding and reception- not being aware that everything has to be booked months in advance here!
We did finally receive the dresses like a week before, and so everything did turn out well in the end!
We received a lot of compliments on the dresses, and we probably wouldn't wear these again as they are, so we also asked the tailors to make us a pyjami and chunni too (dupatta), so that after the dresses won't go to waste and can be worn as an anarkali.
Our plan is to get my mum to alter the length of the dress, to make it a little shorter, so it will look more like an anarkali!
This whole outfit is from various parts of Punjab: Ludhiana, Amritsar and Jalandhar.
