In Pakistani weddings first day which is Mehndi , she wears very casual dress. The reason she wears casual dress because she has all of her family and all of her friends there and during that time they joke with her and have a little food fight sometimes if permitted by bride's parents. So by the end of that night all the clothes are very messie. On the second day that is Nikkah , the bride wears either white or red dress with gold touch. That dress is very expensive, if converted in dollars it would cost around about $2,000 to $3,000 dollars. It is still very expensive in Pakistan. This dress in provided by bride's mother to her daughter as a good bye gift.
On the third day that is also called Waleema , the bride also wears a very nice heavy dress which is also around about the same price. This dress is provided by groom's family or his mother as a welcome gift. Bride wears that dress.
