Yesterday I stumbled upon a picture of a Pakistani bride in my Instagram explore tab. I was so fascinated by her look, and her stunning jewellery, that I couldn't hold. And I may or may not have spent the next two hours of my life laying on my couch digging really, really (really) deep into this labyrinth of Instagram. 

The world has not given enough attention to Pakistani brides . Everything about them, starting from their outfits and the intricate detailing on them, to their jewellery and make up, there's so much that we can learn from them! While's there is so much that needs to be addressed, let's begin somewhere!

Outfits

Gorgeous detailing

That detailing on the border is literally giving us LIFE! Pakistani designers flaunt some stunning designs and outfits, and can easily give our Indian designers back home a run for their money!

The easiest way to distinguish an Indian bride from a Pakistani bride is by noticing the trail. While Indian lehengas have more flair, Pakistani brides wear lehengas with long trails. And that makes all the difference! Princess-vibes done right, agree?

If you are a millennial bride who wants to experiment with colors beyond reds, pinks, and peaches, then take some cue from the brides on the other side of the border!  Their outfits prove white is totally a wedding-color!

Jhoomers are the new mangtikka's of bridal jewellery- you'll find almost every second bride sporting one! Not that we are complaining! Large-sized jhoomers truly accentuate your look and how!

Pair them with a saree, or your bridal lehenga- chokers don't ever go wrong! And Pakistani brides are the best at rocking some of them in intricate designs and stunning karigari! 

Elaborate Naths

 We have spotted far too many Pakistani brides with truly unique jewellery but our favorite of the lot has been studded naths! Beady, pearly, or loaded with polki, their designs are so unique and royal, it is difficult to miss them!

So, what's one trend you can't wait to experiment at the next wedding that you attend?
