A Pakistani bride usually needs four to five pairs for her wedding week: a comfortable pair for dholki and mayun, a mehndi pair, the main barat pair, a nikkah or walima pair, and a flat backup for long nights. Order at least four weeks before your first event so you can break the shoes in.
The Wedding Week Footwear Checklist
- Dholki and mayun: soft, flat and easy to dance in. See handmade khussas.
- Mehndi: bright, embroidered khussas or festive heels to match your colours.
- Barat: your statement pair. Heavy embroidery in gold or silver suits most bridal outfits. See couture footwear.
- Nikkah and walima: something lighter and elegant, such as embellished heels.
- Backup flats: a pair you can change into when your feet are tired.
Don't Forget The Bag
A potli or clutch in the same colour family finishes the look.
Comfort And Fit
Saheliyan khussas are a slim fit, so brides with normal to wide feet should order one size up. Wear each pair indoors for a few days first.

Delivery in Pakistan is free, with Cash on Delivery, usually 7–10 working days. Returns and exchanges are accepted within 7 days of delivery. Buy 2 pairs for 10% off or 3 or more for 15% off, applied automatically. Group orders for bridesmaids are welcome.
