Weddings in Gujranwala, Sialkot and Gujrat are planned around flights. More families here have relatives in the UK,
Norway, Italy, Spain and the Gulf than almost anywhere else in Pakistan, and the wedding is set for the weeks when
everyone can land, usually December and January. That gives the bride a short, fixed window, a houseful of guests, and
the whole GT Road belt booking the same dates.
One Time Bridals delivers designer bridal dresses to Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat and the towns between them from its
studio in Faisalabad. This guide covers how renting works here, how to book before the family flies in, and what to
rent for each function.
Can You Rent a Bridal Dress in Gujranwala or Sialkot?
Yes. One Time Bridals rents designer bridal dresses to brides across the GT Road belt:
- Delivered to Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat, Wazirabad, Daska, Kamoke and the surrounding towns. You choose your
dress, and it comes to you. - Seven days with the dress. Enough for the function, the photos and the day after.
- A refundable deposit, returned when the dress comes back.
- Every dress is worn by one bride only, the idea behind the name One Time Bridals.
- A studio trial if you want one, at the Mall of Faisalabad, a few hours away by motorway.
How Does Renting Work From the GT Road Belt?
- Message the studio. Send your function dates, your town, your size and the style you love on WhatsApp. A
screenshot of a look you like helps. - Get your shortlist. The studio team suggests dresses that fit your functions and your style, with photos and
the measurements of each piece. - Choose on WhatsApp, or at a studio trial in Faisalabad if you can make the trip.
- Delivery to the wedding house. Give the studio the address where you are getting ready, and every dress
arrives there before your first function. - Wear it for seven days, return it, and get your deposit back.
Ask the studio about delivery timing, fittings and the deposit when you book: the team confirms everything on
WhatsApp.
Booking Around the Family's Flights
This is where brides in Sialkot and Gujrat have a different problem from brides in Lahore. The wedding date is set by
when the relatives can come, the functions are packed into their visit, and nothing can slip:
- Book the dress before anyone flies. Once the dates are fixed, message the studio. December and January are the
busiest weeks of the year on this side of Punjab, and a popular dress can only be with one bride at a time. - Let the relatives choose with you. Send the shortlist to your sister in Bradford or your cousin in Oslo on
WhatsApp. The photos and the measurements travel better than a dress does. - Give all the dates at once. If the mehndi, the barat and the walima are squeezed into one week of the family's
visit, tell the studio every date, so the delivery covers the whole week. - Guests flying in can rent too. Sisters and cousins arriving from abroad do not need to carry formals through
three airports. The studio rents for every function, and the dresses go back before they fly. - Sialkot has its own airport. Families landing there rather than in Lahore can still have the dresses waiting at
the wedding house.
If the bride herself lives abroad and is flying in for the wedding, our
12-month checklist for planning a Pakistani wedding from abroad
covers the rest of the plan, and the studio books rentals from the UK, the USA or Canada on WhatsApp.
What Should You Rent for Each Function?
- Mehndi: colour and movement. Greens, yellows, pinks and oranges, in outfits you can dance in.
- Barat: the showpiece. Deep reds and maroons with heavy handwork, for the marquee or the hall. December and
January evenings here are cold, so a heavier lehenga is comfortable, and a shawl in the bride's colour finishes it. - Walima: softer and more formal. Champagne, silver, blush and pastel shades.
- Nikah: light and elegant, often in ivory, soft gold or pastels.
The groom is covered too: the studio rents sherwanis matched to the bride's dress, so the couple looks planned
together on the stage and in every photo the relatives take home.

dressing for the cold, and our
function-by-function checklist
covers the whole week.
How Does Pricing Work?
Rental prices are not published online, because every dress is priced on its own. What the studio's quote depends on:
- The collection. LUXE, SIGNATURE and ESSENTIALS are the three bridal tiers, and GROOM is for sherwanis.
- The days. A bridal rental includes seven days; a groom rental includes three.
- The deposit. Paid when you book, refunded in full when the dress comes back as it left.
- Delivery to your town. The studio tells you the delivery arrangement together with the quote.
Send the studio the dress you like (or a screenshot of the look), your function and your dates, and you get a clear
price for that dress, not a range. If a relative abroad is paying, the team can confirm the price with them on
WhatsApp too.
Where Is the Studio?
The One Time Bridals studio is at the Mall of Faisalabad, a few hours from Gujranwala and Sialkot by motorway.
Trials are by appointment: message first, and your shortlist is ready when you arrive. Most brides on the GT Road belt
choose on WhatsApp and have the dress delivered to the wedding house.
