i think its such an adorable idea- i went to my friends wedding from my college and she doesnt have any brothers- but she was carried in the doli by our guy friends and there were three in front and three in back and i think it was soo adorable the only funny part was the doli is heavy wen the girl sits in it with her 1000 pound wedding dress so the guys walk like penguins and u see them struglle walking in with it haha lol but i think its realli cute

All weddings in my family have brides leaving in a doli, it's a tradition.

I think it's less common nowadays because it's hard to cram a bridal lengha into a doli without crushing it and getting in and out of one is hard to do elegantly too.

I've only seen that happen in movies to be honest, never been to a real wedding where a doli is used.. seems cute.

I think its a very traditional idea, as in olden days when there were no cars, brides usually were carried in a doli.

Usually the brothers or cousins of the bride carry the doli.

Its a good idea for these days weddings, if you want people to talk about your wedding, being unique.

The doli is made of bamboos and wood. The inside of the doli is usually lined with foam and cushions. So its not uncomfortable with a net or a thin cloth for the curtains.

Here are some pics of dolis for ideas. You can put a modern touch to it by adding flowers.

Dolis are also good for mayoo or mehndis..

I've wanted to have the dholi on my wedding since i was a little I think it's so cute! A friend of mine went to this wedding, and the Dholi was totally matched with the bride's outfit! And her 4 brothers ( mash'Allah) carried her...awww
Let's see who will carry me.. or if i even get the chance to sit in it..

My fiance loves the idea. I'm not too big on it -- in fact, I don't fancy it at all.
Anyway, I'm doing it for his sake and since he knows I like doings things differently, he has gotten me a Glass Doli for the wedding. Its quite wonderful, I admit. Nothing like the flowers and traditional type.

I've always reallly wanted a dholi, but I only have one brother. And no guy cousins to do it.
So I don't think I'll ever be able to have one.

At my wedding i left in a Doli on the wedding day. I think it looks really cute. My bros, dad, dad's friends and all my guy friends carried the Doli out. Even though it was only a two minute ride it was fun hehe

the bride always left in a dholi in all the weddins i ahve seen
except for one of my cousins....... they ahd the dholi but she was too fat to get in hahahhahaha

if the house is far away, they put her in the dholi and then take her to the car, and then drive her to the destination, then she gets back in the dholi, and her brothers, cousins, uncles and what not carry her to the doorstep of her inlaws house

I think dolis are zulm on guys, they are so heavy themselves then the weight of the person.







May Allah bring peace in Pakistan. Ameen
