Soha Ali Khan married Kunal Khemu this weekend in what was, by Bollywood standards, a fairly private wedding.

While the bride is glowing, fashion lovers this side of the border can’t help but ask “Is this the best of Indian bridal fashion?”

Day weddings are becoming increasingly popular in Karachi  

Wedding season this winter was even crazier than usual - the big fat Pakistani wedding needs an iron constitution. With so many weddings in town, almost every winter evening was a blur of dholkis, mehndhi, baraats and valimas. What stood out the most, despite wedding fatigue, was the increasing number of day weddings.

Make the baby shower extra special by giving the mother-to-be unique gifts.

A delicious baby shower buffet is a must!

Babies need so much paraphernalia that baby showers are brilliant for helping parents collect the essentials. A baby registry is a fabulous idea so that gifts aren’t duplicated. Friends can pool together to get pricey items like cots, sterilizers or a beautiful toy chest.

If you’re headed to a baby shower, here’s a selection of wonderful gifts that will always be appreciated.
