Engagement Dress, Make-up, Jewellery, Hair & Shoe Ideas!

Hey Again!

I am getting engaged soon, and I have everything planned out, well almost.
I cant decide on

  • What to wear? (Hot pink anarkali suit/Pishwas with long sleeves OR a long red kameez with out any sleeves with churidar pajama)

  • How to get my hair done? (I’m thinking something like this? but a lot fuller curls?)

  • Dupatta off or on? (I wan’t my dupatta off, but I don’t want people talking trash about me either, beacuse i didn’t wear the dupatta on my head)

  • What shoes? (Stillettoes or a kussa?)

  • How heavy or light make-up i sould go for? (maybe a heavy eye-make-up and them keep the rest neutral?)

  • What jewellery should I go for? I don’t even have any idea where to start on this one? :frowning:

i'd go for the anarkali or pishwas, definately not the 3rd option. i think that hair style looks quite pretty and not too over done and personally i'd keep the dupatta off cos then it ends up looking too 'bridal' if u have it on. as for shoes, high heeled peeptoes look really nice. make up wise i think light to medium-ish make up would be a good engagement look, keeping it fresh and bright. hmmm... jewellery, i think earings and jhoomar look really good but no necklace because it's a bit too much then imo. some matching churiya would also look good!

Definately Anarkali, i think they're more 'engagement type'. I recently saw a girl's engagement picture and she was wearing a multicoloured anarkali and it looked stunning! The jewellry i think should be quite simple, if you've got silver kaam then wear silver diamonte jewellry, with a piece in the hair on the side.

Have matching churiya tho.

Make up should be reasonably light as it's only engagement, no dark heavy makeup - you want to look fresh and natural.

I'd keep dupatta off as well as that's too bridal for me. Maybe just pin it nicely on one side.

About the shoes, if you wear a anarkali i think you should go for a heel but keep in mind if your gonna be taller than hubby ;)

Hope this helped!

Congratulations and hope all goes well!

oooh you know i have the perfect pic for you for dupatta setting. im not a fan of it off, but for engagements i know it can give a real bridal look, which you dont wanna go for…but with the hair style youve chosen heres a perfect look for ur dupatta style…

and i would say go for an anarkali/pishwas…the sleeveless long shirt just sounds so unclassy… =/ just my opinion!

Re: Engagement Dress, Make-up, Jewellery, Hair & Shoe Ideas!

But anarkali suits are so done, everyone wears them :frowning: … lol …

Thanx :slight_smile: … Naaa hubbys quite tall as well, so no worries there ,

sorry, but i want like that dupatta style … it look wierd … i think it should be either on or off …

this is the 2nd suit i was talking about http://indusmart.com/pakistanidress/0907/reds_pop.jpg the long kameez with churdar pajama

Re: Engagement Dress, Make-up, Jewellery, Hair & Shoe Ideas!

Ooo the picture you posted looks good too but personally, I’d prefer the anarkali. But either one s pretty :slight_smile:

Hair: I’d do loose curls - really feminine and pretty :slight_smile: I’m not a fan of super tight curls!

Dupatta off

Definately heels - every girl looks gorgeous in heels! :slight_smile:

Keep the makeup light… obviously not extremely light :stuck_out_tongue: so heavier than you would at someones wedding but lighter than your own wedding? lol

Jewellery - I’m not a fan :stuck_out_tongue: so I would keep it simple. probably wouldn’t even go for a necklace.. Nice earings and a few chooriyans/karay (sp?)

Thats just me though :slight_smile:

Re: Engagement Dress, Make-up, Jewellery, Hair & Shoe Ideas!

pishawas or anarkali sounds amazing! I love the hairstyle. I had something similar at my engagement. For jewelry I only wore earrings and diamond bracelet (my outfit was pink, with accents of Ferozi and silver kaam). I didnt wear a dupatta on my head, and yes people in MY OWN family trash talked me, but if I did wear a dupatta on my head, those same people would have found another excuse to trash talk me. And i think wearing your dupatta on engagement is too bridal, so I would suggest not wearing it on your head, but pining it nicely. And heels are a must, they just add a touch of elegance. Good luck and all the best!
