My only brother is getting married in 2 months IA. For his mehendi both my sis and I are wearing our shadi lehangas. I didnt get to attend my only sister’s wedding so i want to look tishan-tight for bhai’s shadi. I want a super heavy formal for his barat day. Sis is wearing a sari and wants me to wear one too. I am leaning towards something non sari mostly because i have a young daughter who will most likely pull on my sari with all her might and i dont want to be uncomfortable. I have been told both my sis and i should wear the same type of clothing. Is that necessary? I was thinking of doing a heavy long shirt with a simpler lehanga maybe. For walima i am wearing a much simpler shalwar suit. OR i could wear a sari if it will look nice that both sisters are wearing a sari? BUt i am not sure.
if u r wearing ur wedding lengha on mehndi thn dont go 4 lengha again on barat.......... i love saree it will look good.............both sis wearing saree vl be prominent............u vl have different looks on all days
mehndi........lengha
barat.............saree
valima...........shalwar kameez
this my thinking..........
anyways best of luck n congrats for the upcoming wedding..................
Wear a saree. Get it stitched and add a few safety pins for added security. You'll look fantastic and it won't fall apart on you, no matter how hard Kanzah tugs.
Í'm going to wear my baraat lengha (very heavy) on the baraat of my brother....anarkali on his mehendi....and saree of long shirt with trouser/churidaar on his walima
wear ur shadi lenghas on the mehndi..the sarees on the valima..and for the shadi, wear shalwar kameez/trousers.
On the shadi, you and your sister dont have to wear matchign outfits....but maybe wear something that will "connect" you two together..like a flower in your hair..
on the valima, it would look nice if you two had coordinating sarees...could be same colour or colour shade..or same kaam but different colours. even get your mother in on this as well.
the reason why im saying not to wear ur shadi lengha on the shadi, is that IMHO, the bride should be the only one wearing a full kaam lengha. It's her day.
Afshi, I also had the same thoughts as u have...that only the bridy should wear a full kaam lengha....but a few months ago I saw the sister of a dulha on the baraat wearing her red lengha...she was wearing her tikka/jhoomar/big set....she looked beautiful but wasn't stealing all the attention....bride was looking beautiful....with bridal make up...dupatta on her head.....
I like the saree idea.....either go for similar colors different designs, or same design, different colors. Is there a color theme for his wedding...maybe flow with that...
oh goodness me, i am more confused now I was all but set on getting a sari made for the barat day but my mom sent me her wedding dupatta yest. Its a gorgeous watermelon red/pink with gold undertones and beautiful golden tilla kaam on it. I am DYING to get a churidar suit made with it to wear on the barat now (was thinking of green jamevar or banarsi churidar with pink shirt). Maybe i should post a pic of it here? And i like Afshi’s idea of putting a similiar flower in both my sis and I’s hair!
Afshi, the bride's colors are red and green. We are not coordinating with her at all. Sis is wearing an ivory sari with silver and blue kaam on it. I was also going to get a sari based on suggestions here. But it so happened that my ammi sent me her wedding dupatta to keep. And i fell in love with it. I should post a pic somehow.
And i LOVe the idea of exotic flowers in our hair. I think we are totally doing it!
