Gasp. I know. What crazy girl would want to cancel Shirley Wu for her wedding?! "But she's supposed to the best!?" "Girls would kill for that appointment!" True, perhaps. But I've recently had a major change of heart about my MUA and here's why: 1. Looking back at my trial pictures, I realized that I… Continue reading Canceling Shirley Wu

My Friend’s Country Chic Shower
Meet: Virginia. My best friend from high school who is also getting married this summer (T-2 weeks!). Our weddings cannot be more different. Virginia's will be small, mine big. Hers is going to be laid back on her parent's farm property, mine will be an orchestrated production across the Greater Toronto Area. Her wedding colors… Continue reading My Friend’s Country Chic Shower
The Story of My Bridal Shower
The first bridal shower that my maid of honor and bridesmaids have ever attended - and therefore organized -was mine this past weekend. But you would never have known that. Because they absolutely killed it. I couldn't have imagined a better shower. The day went something like this: my MOH, Negin, and two bridesmaids, Emilie… Continue reading The Story of My Bridal Shower
Bridal Party Sari Fitting
I'm blogging as I get a pedicure (note: blogging while getting a pedicure is awesome). This particular pedicure is for my bridal shower tomorrow (yay! And, stay tuned), but today I wanted to blog about taking half of my bridal party (4/8) girls to Gerrard Street East (little India!) to get their measurements taken for… Continue reading Bridal Party Sari Fitting

Vanity Fair's recent article by Mattie Kahn, "The 10 Best-Dressed Brides" is just so...vanilla.

I'm looking forward to the day that mainstream media coverage of weddings (not to mention everything else)… Continue reading The 10 Best-Dressed Brides of All Time
Nauratan jewelry
When I was in Pakistan I was on the hunt for a nauratan set (nauratan means nine, for nine different colours of stones). I think they're so classic and versatile to go with any outfit. It was the classic part that got me laughed at by pretty much every shop keeper in Liberty..."Baji?! (Sister), nauratan… Continue reading Nauratan jewelry
Bridal by Mehdi (This is not my wedding dress!)
When I was in Pakistan this March I ended up going to Mehdi's bridal boutique in Defense after falling in love with his ready to wear collection on MM Alam. A troop of young girls who couldn't possibly have been over the age of 15 greeted us at the studio, but seemed to be sworn… Continue reading Bridal by Mehdi (This is not my wedding dress!)
Dolki Pictures!
Ok so a while ago I wrote about the dolki (traditional pre-wedding girls event!) that my cousin's threw for me in the homeland, and promised pics, here they are!:
In Pursuit of my Wedding Louboutins
Oh the lengths a girl will go to for a good pair of shoes! And how I did, in pursuit of my wedding Louboutins.... Now, I've outlined my adoration for this French shoe designer in a post about 'My First Pair of Louboutins' on another blog of mine (which I've neglected for far too long… Continue reading In Pursuit of my Wedding Louboutins
Wedding Dress
I ordered my wedding dress yesterday!!!!!!! All I will say for now is this: it was the first dress I tried on (I came back to it after many many stores). And it's by Karma 🙂
