Actually every Arab women wears white. Even the ones living in villages. I guess its just the “new thing” these days. But all the rest of the wedding parties like the henna, and others they wear traditonal dresses. My dress is going to be white, but with long sleeves, and eventhough we dress like this at times the men and women are not together.

may be .. but i actually attended some real and traditional arabs weddings .. amoung which 2 were Sudani , 1 was marakashi (morocan) and others were palestinian and Syrian… and bychance all of them were in “traditional” arab dresses i don’t know whwt the call it but none of them were in white dress but either red or combination of different colors with heavey embroidry…
however, one of my egyption friend , I (saw her movie since she got married in egypt) She was wearing all White as western brides do.. she claimes that for a long time probably 3 decades egyption and jordanian women use to wear White or peach western dresses before they mostly wear their traditional dresse .. so i’ll assume that its a “new thing”

Well actually this goes back to b4 the Prophet days, when the bride would leave her fathers house they would “zeff” her out, meaning doing that tongue thing, throughing rice, flowers or whatever as she leaves her fathers home. So whenever you go to any Arab celabration and hear that “tongue” thing its a very old tradition.

If you watch the movie on the Prophets live “The message”, you can hear the women doing that tongue thing when you arrives back to Madina.

i’m not talking about the 'tongue voices" they make.. cause i know its very traditional and cultural thing practice by almost "all " arab women even today not only on weddings but as part of their daily routine even some girls do that iof someone told them a joke and thay like it they start making noise and for guys clapping (even if they protest for something) and dancing with swords .. my actuall question was regarding these pictures i mean the way brides and grooms enter in the hall, and all other things we can see here..

Too bland and westernised for my taste.

Why do most Arab and Afghan people I come across wear white at their weddings?

Once when I was a toddler I went to a Yemeni henna party with my mom and the bride was wearing green, looked much nicer than these western white shroud things, you guys should wear Arab clothes more often.

It is just culture… Just like paki people usually wear red Afghans and Arabs wear white …
