Custom Work

Most Pakistani wedding dress designers will allow a high level of personalization. Your customization and changes can allow you to adjust anything from the color and fabric to the neckline, sleeves, and embroidery. Look for a gown that was made in Pakistan to get the ultimate Pakistani wedding gown!

Dress Fabrics

Pakistani dresses come in a wide range of fabrics and textures. Look for fully lined gowns with concealed zip closures in crinkle chiffon, katan silk, or other types of silks or chiffons.

Western World Meets Pakistani

These days, many Western brides with Pakistani heritages wish to feature both cultures on their wedding days. Luckily, there have never been more options for brides wishing to show off their Pakistani heritages with a bit of American styling. Look for an off-white jamawar overlay shirt with a flared lehenga featuring a full train, heavily embellished with beads and sequins for an elegant look.

Choosing a classic Pakistani cut in a white or off-white hue is a wonderful option. Or, you might choose a more traditional white wedding gown that has some ornamental detailing to add an exotic Pakistani touch. Other brides may choose to wear one gown to the ceremony, and a different one to the reception. Do what feels right to you!

Ordering a Gown

While some brides visit specialty shops or even the country of Pakistan, more and more brides are choosing to purchase their wedding day attire online. No matter which option you choose, it’s important to set a budget for how much you plan to spend on your wedding wardrobe. It is also imperative to order the dress well in advance, and make sure that you have lots of time to adjust it so it fits perfectly!

Pakistani wedding gowns are typically extremely rich in color and detail, making brides feel like absolute royalty! Choose a gown in a color and style that you love!
