Go to Maria B. Her outfits are amazing. Don't haggle or bargain with Pakistani designers. It always turns out different than you expect. If you go and custom make it then you can haggle. You can bargain with jewellery in Pakistan but if you haggle with your dress they will make a mistake or purposely make it look less good. My cousins have had horrible experiences haggling with dresses
Definitely buy the wedding gown from Pakistan you can get easily get an amazing gown in your budget. They do negotiate if u kept them saying. Pakistan designers are best in terms of wedding dress and gowns.
Many congrats to Asmaa 💕 she is seriously so cute and genuine, she deserves all the happiness. And it would be so nice if they did the "how we met" video or just said it in one of your vlogs!
when I saw you first posted on her nikkah day I had to watch it like three times! it was such a shock and I was so excited for you all as if Asma was my own sister! Congrats lovelies xx
When I got married at 20 my husband and I were students. We had an extremely tight budget, and had a big Asian wedding to plan. Stick to your budget - and don’t underestimate that small things all add up. I would play venues off each other. Like such and such place said £50ph can you match that. Etc. Generally with clothing, it seems hat Asian designers are more willing to drop the price the more you purchase. So it might be worth getting your sisters/mothers outfit alongside of your bridal gown, simply to bring the price down if your gown. So excited for you, getting married is the best thing, until kids come along!!!
As someone with experience doing photography work, I think there are two major aspects that play into whether you should haggle or not: content/context and culture. Those of us coming from cultures where haggling is normal don't see it as offensive (unless it's obviously done in a condescending way lmao) but a lot of white (and some non-white) westerners are really opposed to it from what I've seen. Also, since these are photos for a wedding and not concept-driven, more artistic pieces there's a lot less chance of offending someone's craft in negotiating. If families reached out to me to do some photos for an event or something I was much more willing to negotiate vs. companies or institutions reaching out where I was set on my prices. So yeah this is just my perspective, I'm sure it's different for some, but congrats to Asmaa and your family!! May Allah SWT grant her and her husband and your families with so much happiness, and hopefully the planning goes as smoothly as possible for y'all
Hellooosss.. The things you can hagle is with *an all asian hall* some modern type for example with the non-asian people its quite hard to haggle however if you work with an asian banqueting halls it quite easy to haggle and negotiate a price. jewelry deffinately- Bridal makeup no way; However do complain if they are using drugstore makeup. bridal outfits - SEQUENCE in southall london is amazing and they are quite good with negotiating a price. however if you do look at anywhere else they might knock of a couple of 100’s off. Hope this helped!
Cannot wait for the Nikkah vlog now! Masha'allah you sisters are too stunning. I am the oldest sister, but when watching your vlog, I felt like it is my Baji that is getting married. Many duas for you guys and your family
Things I haggled with on my wedding: venue/catering; stage/centre pieces/decoration etc; photography; wedding lehnga from Pakistan (literally give them a LOW budget lower than your actual budget but still ask for the best stuff don't settle on the replica stuff they might end up adding to your wedding outfit then eventually it might go over the budget you stated but still reach your actual budget -if that makes any sense lol) And things you can't haggle with: make up artist; maybe super high class venues; and possibly car rental as they usually have a fix rate (mine wasn't too posh so was able to negotiate)
Loooooved this so much! A massive congratulations to your sister and can’t wait to follow you on all the wedding adventures omg💕 (I never knew you could haggle with Pakistani designers no way😱)
With bridal clothes and photography and videographer and also with catering you can defo haggle especially if it’s with desi owned! Defo haggle. The amount of haggling I had to do for my wedding was crazy but we got our moneys worth. Congratulations to your sister and may Allah place love mercy and understanding between her marriage. Ameen xxx
With my experience if a photographer gives you an estimate of their fees it would be best for you to then ask them include things they haven’t mentioned (yet). Like let’s say if a photographer is charging $3000 for 2 days then you’ll ask, will this include all the prints and formal albums and videos etc. Then you can negotiate for either a lower price if they’re not including more products with their service or negotiate for more products at the same/similar price point. It’s a good way to initiate discussion on price rather than just driving their price down.
I'm so excited! Congrats to your sister :) I have no idea where to go and where to start with wedding shopping in Pakistan. Please do share some tips along the way xx
Sania Maskatiya, Sania Maskatiya, Sania Maskatiya! You will fall in love with her work. Your sister will find her dream wedding outfit from there I am sure.
Congratulations Asma ❤️ this is so exciting I cant wait for all the vlogs. Please can you vlog or write a blogpost on your experience of purchasing wedding dresses from Pakistan as I am thinking to do the same hopefully.
Aww congratulations first of all xxI’m getting married next year September and also new to this all. In terms of haggling, you can always tell them what your budget is and to work something out within that budget. I.e. videographers/photographers will bring the price down for your trailers going up on social media (if they have) or by sending one less photographer or videographer.Hope that helps xx
Congrats to ur sis! Annam why do you have to be so beaut masallah ❤️ omg lately I've been loving ur turban the way you style it with turtleneck can you do a tutorial with different hijab materials pleaseeee x
i'm a photographer and I'd love the opportunity to shoot your sisters wedding or mehndi!! And I can work around your budget, but just advise as a photographer the ones who don't like haggling their prices or changing their prices are the ones have been doing it for years and know they can charge you above a certain amount.
You can haggle with venues, caterers, decors, dj's, Asian bridal stores, photography and videography packages, staging etc. I'd recommend mint caterers if you're around London, food is amazing and they do stages in all budgets and table decorations etc. I'd recommend psix for photography and videography, amazing customer service, cater to both sides on wedding days, really nice team and easy to work with! In case you wanted any recommendations! Both the above recommendations, have been used by nearly all my family weddings, and friends! They must be doing something right if everyone keeps going to them 🤗 Definitely keep options open for dress shopping, you can get some beautiful bespoke pieces made over there for the fraction of what Elan are asking. All depends on your taste, budget, and keep an eye out for the reputable teams!
Whatever your budget is half it and say that to them be it elan.. HSY.. or Maria B... and they will eventually work towards it !! Keep persistent And the most u can haggle is for diamonds u won’t believe the difference
I found your channel coincidentally and I have seen almost all video related to your sister's wedding bcz while watching I was able to relate as my sister also got married on 16 Nov 2018 and mine relation with my sister is as same as yours😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
A huge congratulations to your sister. Let the fun times begin. I remember when my sister got married. So much planning inv. Hey listen i heard u mentioned something along the lines of getting your sisters outfits from a designer. Well We purchased our oitfits frm elan hsy and my sister brought both of her wedding and walima outfit from faraz manan. If you need any sort of help in getting an o6itfit depending on budget im sure my sister can spk to faraz on yoir behalf. He is Amazing if not the best x also look up sarah rohail she is just brilliant x based in lahore x
Well if you find an amazing photographer/videographer with a smaller following they might be interested in giving you a better price in exchange for a promotion from annam? Also most Asian stores haggle so don’t miss out on it if you have an opportunity.
HAGGLE , HAGGLE & HAGGLE ON EVERYTHING ! What is the worse that could happen is that they’ll say no or you come to an agreement ! Weddings are expensive and go all out on your honeymoon forget the small material things!
Hi darlins if ur goin islamabad u need to go to khan variety and keep to ur budget but make sure u get wat u pay for always compare to the UK price and then if it works out cheaper get it ordered. Bridal heavy elan inspired outfirts r 1k 2k 3k but elan official is mega expensive.
Congratulations to yr sis Asma you can bargain on yr wedding lengha if its custom made around 25 percent the most,if its designer 15 pecent off. Video cam around 15 percent make up artists moan and don't like to alter on price venue haggle haggle haggle it's not like ur gna see them again!!
How did she meet her hubby
Go to Maria B. Her outfits are amazing. Don't haggle or bargain with Pakistani designers. It always turns out different than you expect. If you go and custom make it then you can haggle.

Congratulations Asmaaa 😘😘
My sister went to Monga's in East London and she got a really good deal paying £2k with ALL the alterations!
You can haggle with venues, caterers, decors, dj's, Asian bridal stores, photography and videography packages, staging etc. I'd recommend mint caterers if you're around London, food is amazing and they do stages in all budgets and table decorations etc.
I'd recommend psix for photography and videography, amazing customer service, cater to both sides on wedding days, really nice team and easy to work with! In case you wanted any recommendations!
Both the above recommendations, have been used by nearly all my family weddings, and friends! They must be doing something right if everyone keeps going to them 🤗
Definitely keep options open for dress shopping, you can get some beautiful bespoke pieces made over there for the fraction of what Elan are asking. All depends on your taste, budget, and keep an eye out for the reputable teams!
How is Asma's hair so lusciously gorgeous all the time? :D Does she have my particular hair routine?
cant wait for the next vlog. congrats asma
Whatever your budget is half it and say that to them be it elan.. HSY.. or Maria B... and they will eventually work towards it !! Keep persistent
And the most u can haggle is for diamonds u won’t believe the difference

Annam's face when Assma talked about leaving the family house.
