Re: Ideas needed.
When is springtime in your area? September, october-ish? Would desi clothes be too much for thsi wedding (I’m assuming it’s non desi). You can find lots of nice color combinations in salwar kameez, trouser, etc etc. There’s also a lot of modern, western-style cuts with desi design, like halter top and trouser etc etc…
As for colors, camel/tan and pink and white make a great combination. You can also try lavendar, or a light yellow. I wouldn’t wear black because it’s too strong for a daytime spring wedding (I’m assuming it’s a daytime thing). And plus, black is too boring. Spring is all about colors! Off white and ivory with touches of strong colors like red or violet either in shoes or jewelry or even small print on the dress itself, would look nice as well. Mint green and peach are good colors too. You can also combine a lot of light colors with brighter, darker colors, like fuschia with baby blue or navy blue with baby pink, etc etc.
I don’t think you should shy away from white. Believe me, you won’t look like a dulhan. From seeing your pictures, you seem very tan and white looks great against tan skin.
Colorrrrrrrrsssss :love:

Re: Ideas needed.
^^Isn;t that too gawdy for a gora wedding?
Re: Ideas needed.
Well maybe the colors and heavy kaam r too much, but it was as close as I could find: a beaded halter top and trousers, or beaded pants like that and a simple top :)
Re: Ideas needed.
Most of my formal attire is from here. You may not have it in Aus land - however you can get some great ideas http://www.coast-stores.co.uk/site.htm.
Also - the fitting is beautiful - its made for women , not deformed characters, and by that I dont mean larger sizes either. The largest they do is a 16. ITs just the fitting and the cutting that is brilliant - somthing that is usually hard to find in highstreet stores. Also monsoon have pretty dresses. well cut - beautiful, and somthing that is unique.
Re: Ideas needed.

Yeah spring is around sept/oct.
Its just a sorry excuse for spring, it'll be cold as.
Sara no desi outfits please, these are paka gora people, and I dont wanna offend 'em.
I want something light that I can accessorize with stuff but still be able to wear it later day to day.

Re: Ideas needed.
I would say dress modestly ...... so u would look like a sophisticated pakistani rather than a gora wannabe.

Re: Ideas needed.
lol, can't agree more. Even some of the ones I've posted are NOT right for a day wedding ... but will work for an evening reception.
