The traditional desi bridal.......

There are very, very, VERY few things (man made at least) that I see in Karachi that make me think "How beautiful!". A genuine exception to this rule can be the components of the fantastic traditional desi bridal. From beautiful antique kundan jewellery and 30 year old chatta patti ghararas to the brand new stuff that is made with breath taking love and finesse to recreate the glory of the past just goes to show that sometimes old just IS gold! Often the highlight of my work day involves a face, outfit and jewels that inspire me to be the best that I can be. These are some of my recent favourites with a traditional bent.......

p.s. Be very careful girls, there is a fine line between classic and outdated. With all things though, its best to stick to quality over quantity (sadly, the odds are, if it's cheap, it shows!) and let the experts guide you. They will rarely guide you wrong....
