Most of the brides get to re-wear their wedding attire (outfit & jewelery) on a number of occasions esp. for a friend’s/close relative’s wedding. Many families expect the bhabi to wear her wedding clothes to her devar’s shaadi, so the outfits keep getting used.
What about the grooms?
Do they wear their wedding sherwanis/pagris to parties if they don’t gain too much weight to fit into them? Hubby recently took out his 7 year old sherwani to try on for his bro’s wedding but sadly couldn’t fit into it. LOL! That shows that I am feeding him too much. LOL!
Anyways, he never re-wore his Rs. 25,000 outfit after our D-day.
What about your significant others? Did they wear their sherwanis to any other parties? If yes, then how many times?
Mine wore his sherwani to his cousin's wedding a year after we got married. He likes simple stuff, not the bling bling sherwanis.. so it's pretty re-wearable.
hubby's wearing one for the first time at my brother's wedding iA and he'll probably re-wear his to cousin's weddings too. its very simple- all black with kaam only on the collar.
i've requested all the guys who can still fit into their sherwani's, to do so at my brother's event too. It looks really smart!
i wore my sherwani a few times but then on my last trip to Pakistan, left it there. so have not worn it in ages.
plus that was not really my choice, and although its a nice and elegant offwhite with light embroidery on the collar, I prefer a plain black one over that so I had a plain black one tailored for my brothers wedding and thats the sherwani I wear when I need to.
Husband wore his wedding sherwani to his brothers wedding, and I wore my wedding dress. That was a huge mistake (me wearing my wedding dress). But all the brothers wore sherwanis so it wasn't a big deal.
No way. Men would seriously look like clowns if they attended someone else's wedding with their pagris acting like wannabe dulhas. However, I do like how in my dad's family (they are all Indians), close family members wear matching pagris at the time of ceremony. It's something very common in India.
My hubby wore his at a few other close weddings the first couple years after ours. Hubby's is dark green (almost black) with delicate kaam justaround the neck.
Hmmm... it doesn't look silly really. As, Pareezay said, men do wear matching pagris in India at the time of the ceremony and it looks okay.
Truth is, in Pakistan there isn't a big culture of pagris as there is in India. It's really common over there for the girl's side to wear matching pagris (usually in a color like pink). I think it's "unifying." The closest thing we do is matching shawls/dupattas for the men on the menhdi.
