Has anyone heard of a place called Sultana in Queens?

I need the address!

Here is the info you are looking for:
Sultana.Com Inc
259-18 Hillside Avenue, Floral Park, NY 11004
(718) 470-9100

I just had a blouse made there - they have lots of designs to pick from. Turned out great.

hey girls how's everyone doing?

gibi~ so excited for you to beordering your gown today!!!

chand~ how was the rasmalai your mom made?

libride~ thanks, i think my pics were too big...do you know what to do then? i tried to use the resizer but then they never emailed anything to me?

leena~ you're coming to ny soon right? are you going to have your blouse stitched at sultana?

djsbride~ were you able to find someone to help you with the henna and bindi? If not check out some of the indian salons in hicksville, i'm sure you can find someone to help.

i had such a good day yesterday i went to Tri County for the first time and it was great! i got my tiara, veil, hair clips, flower girl baskets, and i saw some cute flower girl dresses that might go back to get. Can i tell you it was so much FUN trying on veils!!!! i didn't want to take it off lol

hey girls I need your advice: how do you get wrinkles out of a sari? It's a silk sari with a lot of work so I don't want to iron it. What should I do? It's the sari for an engagement party we're having so I want to make sure I look good!

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

haven't recieved scroll invites before but i have seen them on the indian invite sites. I believe they come with an envelope so you can mail them out. why don't you order some samples? oh and do you know how to get the wrinkles out of my sari? i'm desperate!

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

theyre not that bad on indianweddingcards.com
the cheapest one is like 2.50$ but the shipping is alota money

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

jlu - get a mini steamer they should sell them at the malls. thats what i use to get the wrinkles out if i cant iron a sari

the scroll invitations might be a lot of postage to send out to people as well.

gibi - what kind of dress did you pick?

btw - does anyone know if crest hollow gives you place cards? i was looking over my contract this weekend and is said that. who knows!

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

leena~ thanks so much you are the BEST i'm going to run out and get a steamer! have one you recommend? Post some more pics from your engagement!!

gibi~ what does your dress look like? so excited for you, it must have been so fun

luvbul & chand ~ scroll invites are gorgeous but definitely expensive...maybe you could diy?
