we're using samson soon ia
aa creation is actually really good too. i have friends that have gone to him.
try mirage and kashish in artesia. theyre the pakistani boutiques there and have amazing stuff. depends on where u live in socal because alot of women are working from home with clothes and even really nice articifial jewellry, so u can try them as well.
if ur also looking for pakistani style jewellry, try shalimar jewellers in artesia, they're stuff is nice. also kiran jewellers, they're stuff is expensive but to die for
for make up artists- go to oscar at ziba's salon, hes amazing but expensive.
try a couple different girls from mac.

I will definitly be checking out mirage, kashish and the jewelry stores u recommended....so far i only know of 1 lady in Los Angeles that sells pakistani clothes but her selection is limited....do you know of any ladies that sell clothes out of thier homes? we live in the inland empire area ....
Have u heard of Willy from Eyebrow Image or Farah from MyFairBride?

i've tried googling for event planners, makeup artists, etc but i haven't had much luck.....i'm hopping to hear from people on gupshup that have any personal experiences....

Jesse my makeup artist is the BEST makeup artist i've ever had in my life. he is amazing and can do anything you want he takes so much time and is a perfectionist. i love him and he's done a lot of my friends after he did my valima makeup. you can pm me and ill send you his details.
as far as photography i believe travis hoehne is the best as well and he is relatively decent priced. he did my shaadi and valima and mehndi photos. you can pm me if you want to see some of them as well. his website is: :: Travis Hoehne Photography ::.
for clothes: i don't like any place in artesia or anywhere in southern california for that matter. i would contact designers in pakistan and work with them. a lot of them are willing to do consultations etc via email/phone/etc. i do know that yasmeens in artesia works with faiza samee.
also the best wedding coordinator/designer for any budget is saadia kibriya. you can tell her pakifairy referred you to her. she did my valima decor. you can pm me for her details too.
