[QUOTE]
she wants to be fully covered including the neck. do u guys think it would look odd with jewelry? she really wants to wear the traditional lothes and jewelry w/o looking too odd. any other suggestions?
[/QUOTE]
I have seen a few brides wearing proper hijab with the jewelry and everything and looking totally lovely. One wedding I went to, the bride didnt put her dupatta on her head, just had it on the side and back. But the others Ive seen have a matching hijab and still pin their dupatta up on their head as they normally would. Personally I dont think it looks very nice when a short necklace is placed over the hijab, the longer ones look much better. And also I have seen brides with tikkas and whatnot, looking greta, Its all about the complete look, the dress, the colors, the jewelry. But it most definately can be done
Wow! these and a lot of the other pictures in this thread make me wish I used to wear hijab when I got married!!!
Re: hijabi bridal fashion
i wear hijab since i was in 9th grade. but for my wedding i don't want to wear hijaab with my wedding dress. the reason is that i don't think hijaab it self is anything. i wear hijaab because it's pardah, with my hijaab i don't only cover my hair i also cover my neck and the most important chest part. the reason behind hijaab is to do pardah, not just cover hair and leave neck and chest un covered. hijaab is also about not wearing tightly fit clothing.
i don't want to be judgmental because i don't think i am perfect at all, but sometimes i think we can look at other ppl and see what is that they are doing which is not right and then not do it for our self. most of the brides (not all) who are wearing hijaab in their wedding does not properly cover their chest with hijaab or dupatta or cover neckline, or wearin glose clothing
INSHALLAH i am planning to drape my dupatta over my shoulders in front so i don't do that. also as much as i know the reason behind hijaab is saving our selves to look appealing to namehram, but with all that makeup and jewelry and pretty cloths i don't think hijaab makes a big different. what i believe is that weddings should be segregated if the bride is strict on hijaab
wow… it actually does look quite nice! beautiful…

Re: HIJAB BRIDAL WEAR
shazi hw shud i do it
yup can see pics either
big question=how can i ask paki salon ppl to pin up my hijab???? i can already imagine their horror n them saying "u're hiding your jewellery?? your hair?? n oh my god!! "
man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^ I think u have to ask your MIL before doing that, your MIL is using hijab or not ?? but in my opinion u have to ask before to avoid any problem.
In one of my relative wedding bride wear hijab so in wedding and valima dresses she made linings under the dupatta so no need of hijab, the beautician covered her head by dupatta completely.

i personally this would look the most elegant, but still covering at the same time for girls who want to wear hijab on wedding. I have even seen some wear a small band in the front of forehead with the heavy dupatta so it covers totally, but they don't seem odd with a dupatta over hijab

For the sari, u could have a long sleeved shirt made so it wouldn't matter if the arm wasn't covered by the pallu.
Also, if u do not want to show any hair, then u could arrange a small bandana type thing over your hair and arrange the rest of the outfit as u would normally.
Re: HIJAB BRIDAL WEAR
Rashma i have a question for you. u say u wanna wear a Hijab incase someone walks in.
do u mean if a man walks in?
My relative got married and she is religious and wears the whole Hijab thing. On her wedding day her face was covered with a matching scarf when the men where around,
then when there was just women present she took it off, No hijab.
its your one wedding day and you wont get that agian so u should look your best. i think it might look a bit odd with you in a hijab on your wedding day.
the point of a hijab is to not draw attentiion to your self. but your gonna be the bride so you wont be able to help it, everyones gonna be looking at you anyway! so how will a hijab make a difference :)
if you are are still against the idea just put up a sign on the entrance to the womens hall reading NO MEN ALLOWED!
Screw them!! I had ppl telling me that what I was wearing for the wedding reception was "too simple" for a bride and yada yada yada. I couldn't care less. I told them straight up...I'm a simple person and this is what I feel most comfortable in. When I added some eye rolling at the end...they became quiet. :D
thats my kinda girl! :D
Re: HIJAB BRIDAL WEAR
I have seen Begali ladies wear hijab with their saris at my local mosque and you can't se ea thing. Its a different kind of hijab though, it covers the whole hair and the sides extend down to cover the arms and front. It doesn't look odd at all. Though the jewlery will be hidden except the tikka.
Re: HIJAB BRIDAL WEAR
hey ramsha, i have a cousin whos hijabi and he had her duptatta pinned really close to her head so it doesnt show her neck and as for her neck she got like a silkish skin color turtle neck thing made so it didnt look bad at all. And plus all the gold ur going to wear will help camoflouge the turtle neck.
good luck. May Allah (SWA) help ease all ur worries.
Re: HIJAB BRIDAL WEAR
I dont think this helps the whole dulhan idea bu check out this blog hijabi fashionista its all about how you can be modest adn hijabi!!
what do ppl think of wearing hijab but just takin dupatta on your wedding
Re: HIJAB BRIDAL WEAR
i think wearing hijab is great...but what i dont understand is the TON of makeup they then wear...and again dont kill me im just explaining what i see on the street....i am saying most do this NOT ALL! i mean its a wedding & all muslim brides cover thier head on their wedding day...all u can see is a piece of hair....i dont think its a big deal to one day let ppl see that...after all ppl will be staring at u the entire time anyways....esp w. the big necklace jewelry makeup ect....
maybe i dont understand it cuz i dont wear one....but the whole pt of wearing hijab is to be modest, respect urself and islam, you wear hijab so men wont be attracted to you...and that is great...but then makeup is the same idea...so on ur wedding i say if ur gonna wear makeup then why be so concerned about hijab covering all teh way just wear it on ur head like all the rest of the brides...
i think it sorta makes the outfit and jewelry look all weird...but thats just my opinion..its one day....and no one is gonna be looking at you in that way on ur wedding....
i dont know...i just cant understand the hypocrisy..i know tons of gilrs in my area...wear hijab then talk about guys every second of the day....someone pls explain to me.
Re: HIJAB BRIDAL WEAR
I like the idea of getting the dupatta pinned close to the hairline so you get minimal hair showing. if you are concerned with your neck showing then i do like the idea of getting a skin colored turtle neck to wear underneath. personally i think the bridal look includes jewelry and makeup and nice clothes, i see no reason why people wearing hijab can't have that at their wedding. you are performing a rite that is sunnah and dressing up to please yourself, your husband and your family. i dont think there is anything wrong with that.
for the sari- i would suggest getting a blouse with long sleeves and maybe getting a scarf or dupatta w/ matching embroidery to wear on the head
THanks for the support Baigette, i think the funniest thing is when i'm a a gathering or something, and all these girls are not wearing hijab [which is fine, personal choice] but then when a dua or azzan comes on and everthing from see through dupattas, and table napkins become a hijab
theres nothign wrong with that... u shouldnt be mocking what they do either.
At least they are covering their head with something to give respect. I dont see how thats funny?
