Re: BRIDAL PICS.
The red & green outfit is a farshi payjama…its an early form of the gharara, which they used to wear in North India (esp. UP/Delhi) back in the 1800’s-early 1900’s. It’s basically a farshi gharara, but with so much gher that it drags on the floor for several feet…so much so that you basically have to fold the fabric and hold it up in order to walk.
Here’s a clearer picture of what they look like:

That's actually exactly what they're supposed to look like.
Back in the early 1800's, as British influence began increasing in India, people in Lucknow began dressing in clothes modeled on contemporary English fashion...it was probably the first ever attempt at Indo-Western fusion attire. Women began to start wearing long flowing pants that resembled the full, flowing dresses worn by British women (which became known as farshi payjamas)...while men started wearing slim fitting, button front, knee length jackets over straight cut payjamas in imitation of the frock coats worn by British men at the time (and so the shervani was born).

^Yup that style is all my dad's side goes for. They make them slightly shorter these days, but that continues to be the only source of inspiration.

Re: BRIDAL PICS.
if you go to this website, http://www.michelleragoltd.com/, and click Weddings & Events and then go to New Delhi, India… im pretty positive those are pics from this bride’s Indian event… or the bride from that pic and her are twins!
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
ohh this girl, her mom and her sis own a linen rental place in ny too. and yeah, you're right!!! she looks like her but i think she got married at the plaza..
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
Shay’s right…this girl got married at the Plaza.
Judging from the pics, my guess would be that’s some wealthy Muslim NRI girl, who decided to have a rather lavish destination wedding in Delhi. The hotel she held the wedding at (the Imperial) is hands down my favorite place to stay when I’m in India…its just such a grand and beautiful place.
I’m surprised her mother let her wear an almost black jora…and to her nikkah, no less.
You’re right…I saw an little blurb on their business in Town & Country too.
