Weddings in Pakistan are among the most celebrated events of the country. Its arrival brings a number of gestures- excitement, happiness, emotions and a lot more.
As the country consists of different folklores, variation is seen in their styles.
In general wedding is a three-day event comprising mehndi, barat & valima. However with time more side events are added to the list such as Nikkah ceremony, mayun, bridal showers, musical evenings etc.
It seems as if Pakistanis are in search of a reason to get together and celebrate, their fun-loving nature being the reason.
Talking about the primordial occasions , Mehndi is a very bright and happening night. Guests shine in gaudy duds, specially the females. Dholki beats echo in the atmosphere and family members show their moves in a cultural dance known as ludi. Numerous traditions -known as 'Rasm'- are carried out.
However Barat is more of a grand event. It is the main Wedding Day. Mostly the females wear red attire while males go for black tucks.
Valima is the only event organized by the groom's family. It is the most light occasion in three mains. Customarily the venue is embellished with pastel colors.
Gradually people have started spending colossal amounts on their events. The core reason could be the inauguration of Wedding planning firms in their society. All the efforts which were done by them previously are taken up by event planners who serve to be a great source of ease. They get everything from one window and all the have to do is pay amounts and enjoy their parties.
