Re: A Bride From Mars

I saw Bushra Ansari's daughter's Mehndi pic here somewhere. She had dark (mehndi) green Shalwar Qameez with gota on Mehndi. She looked good. Since you have chosen red for barat you may go to something of a lighter shade such as beige, fawn, or golden for Valima. Ivory is also very much in these days. About nath, that is something solely u are to decide. Personally, i dont really think a bride is incomplete without a nath. But if u think u can carry it out well than why not. All the best for the day :)

Re: A Bride From Mars

^ I agree. Since I am doing a bold red for the baraat, I should stick with a pastel for the valima.
Thanks!

Heyy firstly Congrats on getting married. I havent been home (pakistan) in 8 yrs and dont worry i felt the same way..
So answering ur questions:
1. I wore a combination of Yellow, red and blue for my mehndi with the duppata in all 3 tones.. and it really lookd amazing. Some girls are still goin for the churidaar look while others might prefer wearing gharara's on their mehndi's. I go a churidaar made and yellow is never out.. just make sure u mix and match nicely and u'll look awesome

  1. Something in a more pastel or light color tone such as pinks, teals, greens and blues are usually the choice of the valima lehnga's. You want to look different and unique.. and do make sure that the person u choose to get ur makeup done from tones it down a little but brings out ur skin tone and the color of the dress..
    Mine was a tea pink with lots and lots of dark pink and mint work on it and black stones were fitted in.. (i can email u pics if u want to have a look.. i might not be able to attach them here though..)

  2. I wore a nath and believe me I LOVED IT!!! even though i ended up starving for the rest of the night but it looked amazing and different!!!!

  3. I dont know about brides being delicate.. they might be if they choose to be but you really dont want to end up NOT looking like the bride. I was DECKED out in jewellery.. I swear my earrings on the baraat were atleast a good TONNE each.. and I had to wear them for like 10 hrs before I could take them off.. but at the end of the day.. you only get married ONCE and you wana look and feel your best..

Lemme know if theres anything I can help u with.. I can email u pics of what i wore so that u have an idea.. on how light and heavy the jewellery and makeup were..

Hope you have funnnn and goodluck with everything

Re: A Bride From Mars

some matha patti designs









hope it helps

52

I really dont like it! It’s too much. It’s too “indian style”

53

Shanalye! Omg! I love these! Thank you so much! you are wonderful!
This gives me such a clearer picture of what I want. Thank you again!!!

54

your jewellery should compliment your lengha perfectly, if not it can ruin the whole look, i had planned on wearing a nath but as my lengha was not traditional a jumar and nath just looked stupid! so i decided not to wear them i wore a jhoomar on my walima which looked fab. you have to go with what suits u, what u feel great in and what goes with ur lengha.

55

I agree with the idea that the 'look' should be cohesive. If one goes traditional, you should stick with the same sort of jewelry and the other way around---its just just the lehnga.

thanks for your post.

56
