Rasm-e-Henna
Pakistan is a Muslim Country. So the wedding rituals are performed the Muslim way. There is a lot of joy involved in it. My husband Salim and I met on the internet. But we prefered to get married with a traditional Pakistani way
Rasm-e-Henna is a very popular part of pakistani wedding. It is held two days before the actual wedding day. It is mainly for the females. In some places it can last for four days. As the name suggests henna is placed on the hands and knees of the would be bride. There are special female henna artists who do this job. They make sure that the designs look good. Mostly these are floral and similar looking designs.
On this day bride is rewarded with gifts and sweets by the groom’s family. This includes bridal dress as well. Some friends of bride may also join in and place mehndi or henna on their hands. There is a lot of happy dancing and traditional singing on this day. The would be married girl can officially be named as a bride on this day. Bride’s friends also look beautiful in their Pakistani suites.
Pakistani wedding can last upto a few days. It is supposed to be a very long lasting memory for both bride and the groom. On the wedding day the bride wears a sparkling wedding dress along with heavy jewllery. The groom wears a turban. ‘Meher’ is the amount of money given to bride’s family by the groom’s family. The amount is normally pre decided
With the times changing now, more and more families are modernising. Online dating is becoming very popular. But getting married in a traditional pakistani way is a great joy in itself.

Pakistani Wedding Customs?
In Pakistani traditions, is the bride’s wedding gown bought by the grooms side? What other items does the groom’s side provide the bride with? As far as I’ve heard, the bride has to take care of her mehndi outfit etc. and the grooms side takes care of wedding outfit…is there anything else they give to the bride?
Traditionally the groom’s side would buy the bride’s dress but it doens’t have to be like that anymore.Four Day Wedding Ritual of Pakistan
Traditional Pakistani marriage celebrations lasts for four days.
First Day of the Celebration
On the first day, the bride and groom’s families each dress in yellow, and celebrate the upcoming nuptials separately. The betrothed couple will not see each other from this day until the ceremony.
Second Day of the Celebration
The second day is reserved for a big celebration called Mendi that includes dancing and singing ancient songs. On this day, the groom’s family delivers the wedding dress to the bride’s family, and then her family takes the groom’s wedding attire to his family.
The bride’s family string hundreds of colored lights over and around their home, creating an ostentatious announcement of their daughter’s forthcoming marriage. Here, the bride-to-be receives a traditional henna staining of her hands and feet. This traditional Muslim art form invokes intricately designs to create beautiful symbolic patterns. The bride-to-be is waited on by her family while the henna stain dries overnight.
Third Day is the Marriage Ceremony
The wedding rites and ceremony in Pakistan take places on the third day. The Pakistani bride and groom who continue their traditions wear garments of red. The bride’s gown is very elaborate, as are her veil and jewelry. Men wear a distinctive traditional turban. After wedding vows are exchanged, the Holy Koran is held over the new bride’s head as she joins her husband’s family. The official paperwork is signed in the presence of an Islamic priest and the guests.
Fourth and Final Day of Wedding Program in Pakistan
On the fourth day, the couple hosts their first dinner as husband and wife. The groom’s family invites all of the guests to their home for a feast.

pakistani wedding night?
I just want to know wat happens on da suhagraat or the wedding night? im jus curious cuz im gettin married soon…it would help if u r pakistani but to this point ill accept anything
well I wish I could ease your fears. But sexual intercourse usually occurs on the wedding night. I know your fear of the unknown is frightening to you. Sex for a virgin is uncomfortable the first time. I won’t lie to you. But if your groom has any feelings for you he will be gentle and go slowly. But be patient with your groom and be patient with yourself. (is your marriage arranged or a love match?). I personally wouldn’t want to have sex with a virtual stranger.Tell your groom when your alone that your fearful. You want to know him much better before physical intimacy is involved. My friend who is from Punjab India, had an arranged marriage.She waited until there was a great deal of affection. They started with kissing, and it progressed from there. I believe they waited a couple of months. She wanted to know her groom before bringing sex into their relationship. I’m not sure if this is done in Pakistan. She wanted to learn his quirks, his personality, his wants, and desires. She wanted trust between them. She is a professional clothes designer (educated at the university in Bombay) and he is an engineer. Each of them have their own business. NOW.. they have 3 very healthy children (American born). She loves her husband with all of her heart. You can tell that they are in-love, but it took time. So that’s my best advice learning most of what I know from her. Good luck. -

In a pakistani wedding can u wear a white dress.?
i wan’t to marry my man of 4 years , but i always wanted a big wedding with a beautiful white dress, is this possible. also how is a pakistani wedding. thanks.
Depending on where you are is the answer. I am married to a Pakistani man and I had a small wedding the American way but I also got married at a mosque. Pakistanis have very beautiful weddings there dresses are usually very colorful and very very nice. I have seen from video other family members weddings the way they do it and I am very jealous because if I could I would do it that way, I would. My husband is very nice and now we have 2 anniversaries 1 week apart because the first one was my way by a preacher and his way by an Iman. I love the way the way they get married and how the people dress for it but that is my opinion. Talk to the man you are gonna marry and see what he says. If you want a beautiful wedding dress then he should understand but depending on how your wedding is gonna be is what you should wear because if you wed the Pakistani way I don’t think the white wedding dress will be appropriate. -

BUT its like mehndi or dohlki what what colour shall i wear its at night time any hair tip or make up skin
well these days sleeveless, long kurtas and capris are really in. ghear walli shalwars with short kurtas are fashionable as well. since its night wear something dark and vibrant that has embroidery, so that you stand out. dandling earings are great to go with. straighten or curl or hair; whatever you wish. kajal is must for makeup.for more hair ideas:
