Re: Engagement question
I guess my entrance is gonna be me walking into their house…lol I just have to ask him if we’re doing the rasams right at the beginning (which makes more sense to me) or if i have to come in and say salam to everyone and do the dawaat-mingling stuff (in which case, I’m probably gonna not have my dupatta over my head).
So because everything was so last minute with preps, I didn’t get an engagement suit made. My grandparents just happened to send a formal outfit and my mom got matching jewelry (earrings and a tikka) with it so I guess I’m gonna have to go with that. :S Not my first choice since it’s…BLACK. But I don’t know what else to do and I guess it’s good that i have SOMETHING. I have a pretty fancy sari my friend got from india that’s salmon colored but I think that’s gonna be wayyyyy too much for this type of event --even though i’d rather wear that color.
The black suit has a sleeveless black and gold long kameez and a really light black jackety type thing that you wear over it; that overlying layer is fullsleeved and has gold work on it running down the middle where it opens to reveal the sleeveless kameez. The dupatta is also black but has gold kaam on the corners. The jacket has a slight train at the back and it’s a black chooridaar pajama that goes under (though you can barely see it since the kameez is so long).
There isn’t a LOT of kaam by any means on the outfit, so if the “entrance” and rasam stuff is the way I’m expecting, I’m gonna pin the dupatta over my head to make it look a little more bridal vs not.
Given my clothes, I’m thinking of doing a shimmery gold eye and keeping it super light. I was originally going to go to MAC and get it done but I don’t want them to cake anything on. I’m fairly good with makeup so I think I’m gonna attempt to do that myself.
