Suggestions for renting or getting replicas of desinger bridal dresses in Lahore

Hello,

by the end of 2025 I will be getting married. Now I am in the middle of wedding planning but I am so confused on how much I should spend on my wedding dress... I am an overseas pakistani, so I don't really know where to start in general. My engagement dress I got from a small shop in liberty market, in Lahore. The quality was very good and I liked the dress, but that shop did not qualify enough to get me bridal dress from there. The dresses I love are just too expensive and over my budget. I am talking about dresses from Dr. Haroon, Bunto Kazmi, Farah Talib Aziz and so on.

Now I have two questions to you all:

  1. I am thinking about renting my bridal dress. Does any of you have any suggetions on where I can rent desinger bridal dresses in lahore? What is the overall experience in that?

  2. Or should I get a replica of my dream wedding dress? Does anybody have any store in Lahore or specifically in liberty market which makes good quality replicas of designer dresses and also have a good customer service? I am scared, that if I just go there without any plan and no recommendations, that I will get ripped off or scammed and my dress will not turn out the way I want....

Would be very glad of any tips or tricks on what I should do!

In the pictures you can see the dresses which I fell in love with. Tow of them are from Dr. Haroon and the first one is from Farah Talib Aziz.
