Ashfaq Saleem Mirza was a philosopher, thinker, critic, poet and translator. Our suggestions are to remember they do not provide stage for mandaps and if they offer you something in specific, get it written in contract and save photos of what you agree on.ISLAMABAD, Nov 30 (APP): The launching ceremony of ‘Kuch Yaadein, Kuch Nazmein’, a book comprising tributes by his friends and scholars and carrying the unpublished poems of late Ashfaq Saleem Mirza (1944-2020), was held on Tuesday. At the end of the day, they refunded the money for the bridal bouquet after some not so pleasant back and forth. When we tried to discuss the issues after the wedding (we provided good feedback along with questions about the stage and complaint about the bouquet), Yadeein provided a very disappointing and unprofessional replies.

We do not recommend getting flowers from this company. Moreover, the bouquet was not fresh and from the beginning of the wedding some of the petals were brown. Instead of white roses, ivory roses were provided that didn’t go well with dusty roses in the bouquet. The color of some of the roses were wrong. The bridal bouquet was expensive ($200) especially for what it was. On the top of that, some of them were missing crystal chains that we picked.

We caught that during one of the meetings and corrected it but at the wedding still the wrong ones were provided. Wrong vases were provided at the tables. The venue, Rose Hill Manor doesn’t usually provide stages either/ This wasn’t good and both decorator and the venue through the blame at each other. After discussing this issue after the wedding, the owner stated the stage should be provided by the venue. From talking to the owner it seemed he would provide a stage (at no point did he mention that he does not provide a stage). We had our ceremony outside, it was hot and we had to walk on hot red brick barefoot. To our surprise ON THE WEDDING DAY there was no stage provided.The stage confusion still vexes us to this day. when we discussed the madap, we talked about decorations, flowers, the shape of the stage etc. There were some things that weren’t as planned:

He even provided some planning support when our coordinator cancelled one meeting. + Planning support that we received from Karan prior to the wedding (he can really advise what goes together and will look good). + Flowers that were provided on the table settings + Mandap overall look with the artificial flowers, arch decoration with chandelier Dian wedding showcase and they provided decorations for our Hindu and civil ceremony as well as the reception.
