Re: BRIDAL PICS.
In some of my Bihari clan the bride wears a sehra, god knows why.
When my phupoo got married it was a very cold December night and the susraal walay insisted she wear a fresh flowers sehra @ the time of rukhsati. She was sneezing from the cold throughout the walk from the stage to the car. Dnt think she cried cause she was so distracted with the cold flowers around her head :D
Biharis 
I have seen every bride in our family wear a sehra at the time of rukhsati.. even if the weight of that damn thing is more than the bride herself. Poor her is not only attempting to manage her gharara, loads of gold while crying and hugging family members, but also trying to juggle the sehra. One of my aunts almost fainted because she was sad and crying, and on top of that, the sehra was tied so hard around her head that it was giving her major headaches. Even a chaddar or a big shawl can be used to cover the bride if that’s what the intention is.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
if thats the case..wouldnt a sehra made of motia flowers be less heavy...and a little more elegant... ??
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
^ agreed! or rose buds instead of fully bloomed roses?
I guess because people think it will bring blessing to the marriage, like starting off the marriage (from the first steps when she is leaving with the groom) under the blessing and protection of the Quran..something like this
I dont like this rasm at all. Thank God no one tried to do it on my wedding. If you want the blessing and protection of Allah in your marriage and in your life then why not actually open the book, read it, and act upon it, instead of wrapping it up in a shiny cloth and holding it over your head and meanwhile doing everything else at your wedding that goes against the teachings of the Quran. It doesnt make much sense...at least not to me
I found out that this was an old hindu tradition, they would hold the gita or holy book over the head of the bride as a form of blessing. Muslims took it up over the years. Practically all the girls on my moms side (in Pakistan) have had it done to them. No one is going to do it on my wedding as my Dad's side don't have this rasam.
I heard that Mehndi was a hindu tradition, but actually found out it's an old mughal tradition for muslim brides. Note that Turkey, Morocco, Iran, Bangladesh amongst other have a mehndi tradition too.
Re: BRIDAL PICS.
Well, I happened to have the same sehra on my rukhsati. Brrr.... it was December and really cold! I can still remember my shivers!
