I also really like the feel of this Faiza Samee outfit as well, but the men look riduculous don't you think???
I think both of the pictures are from her 'Ek Safar Urdu Ka' show from a year or two ago. She was trying to tell the story of Urdu though fashion...and based on what I've read, the men of Nawabi Lucknow were quite foppish :)
I like parts of the dupatta on that orange outfit you posted...if it was scaled back significantly (maybe just a wide border instead of all that appliqué), it would be nice for a mehndi...even though I think the burnt orange & fuchsia mehndi outfit concept has been done to death...
I’ve always thought that this would make a nice (albeit heavy) mehndi outfit:
I also like this one (this is ancient):
I’m contemplating asking my mother to get me this one, but it’s so heavy, I have no idea where I would wear it. Maybe I could save it for my brother’s wedding?
The no makeup & jewelry thing really only works if you're wearing a plain yellow outfit with a little gota on the dupatta. I've seen a couple of brides try to pull it off with heavy mehndi outfits, and it always looks ridiculous.
In any case, I simply don't think I could sit on stage in front of a few hundred guests with countless pictures being taken and video rolling without any makeup. I don't know how people do it without feeling totally self-conscious...
These are close personal friends of ours -- I wonder if they realize that their photos (mine included!) are public...
they made their album public, that is how i got to them. if they don't want public to see them, than they shouldn't put them album for public view.
i can delete their album from my message

I know, no worries. I checked and I think it was accidentally left public. Your link doesn't work, most likely.
dupatta and shirt are pretty though.
Maybe chatta patti is referred to patchwork
