Re: black bridal outfits
My niece wore a black lehnga type outfit at her reception in India earlier this year...It was black and gold.. The top was halter neck style with sleeves, and was a structure bodice type, with full god sequince work. The lenga was black a shape, with gold sequince work "patta" going diagonally....it looked really good. It wasn't officially her wedding outfit as her rukhsati was this summer here in the UK but nonetheless it marked her Nikaah.............
We were so scared when we bought it as we were so terrified of what her grandma (my auntie) would say...we hid it for like 3 days before telling her/showing her...luckily she said that he gold outweighed the black so was OK about it...but said "don't do it again!!" ;)
