Hey guys jus wanted to ask if you reckon its ok for desi(pakistani/indian/srilankan/bangladeshi etc) to look sexy at thr wedding, i know weddings are a way for brides to show thr sense of style but is it of for brides to wear lower cut tops, backless cholis, midriff exposing cholis etc
Ive been brought up in Australia- so i see alot of these brides going the sexy way rather than the elegant and tradional covered up way…i like to look sexy …i would hate to look frumpy at my wedding…but i think theres something called too sexy that borders on to becoming vulgar…
Do you think there are a set of un written rules that brides need to follow when considering bridal attire?
Re: IS IT OK FOR A BRIDE TO LOOK SEXY AT HER WEDDING???
If you're comfortable and his comfortable then why not?
I don't really think you need to show that much skin to look sexy and I rather look beautiful than sexy anyway. lol
I don't really care what society etc thinks though..
You could look elegent and ur groom can be like wow my wife looks hot/sexy.! And tbh its just him who u want to think u look sexy.. And everyone else might think erm its abit trashy.. Depends what ur version of 'sexy' is..
Re: IS IT OK FOR A BRIDE TO LOOK SEXY AT HER WEDDING???
I think there are some unwritten rules. There was a bride in the bridal pics thread that wore a low cut top, just a hint of cleavage, and although everyone commented on how incredibly beautiful she looked they also commented on how inappropriate her top was. And most of us are 20-something's!
It also depends if you are Pakistani or not. Indian girls can get away with showing midriff and low necklines, but if you're Pakistani and do it - you will get talked about and regardless of your confidence, you will feel it.
I'm just talking about showing skin to look sexy btw. Save the sexy look for nights out with your hubby!
Re: IS IT OK FOR A BRIDE TO LOOK SEXY AT HER WEDDING???
as long as you dont look like a slutty bride then i guess its ok for indians and anyone else u mentioned...
but as a muslim bride it would be inapropriate to wear anything thats revealing....not saying she cant wear a small choli etc...as long as her dupatta is draped elegantly then yea sure...my cousin in the UK wore a sleevles choli but the way they draped her dupatta jst looked like she was wearing a normal shirt....it was really pretty....
plus who do u wana be sexy for? if its ur husband to be then keep just for him and not have it displaying for the whole world to see :D ive seen brides with low necks so their cleavage is on display and ur thinking...damn she is going to regret that when she see's her photos a couple of yrs down the line :p

^ just out of curiosity, what was the point of making a sleeveless jora if she was going to cover it up anyway?
i prefer sleeveless and low backs (to a point) over cleavage and midriff any day (unless you're wearing a sari, then midriff is ok, i think). but if showing skin is sexy, then you'll be plenty hot with those! having said that, i've seen indian brides with midriffs bared who look decent, not slutty. i think a huge part of sexy, and sex appeal, in general, is the way you carry yourself.
cleavage on brown women just doesn't work, imho. i see the oscars and all these hollywood starles can show cleavage and still look so classy somehow, but i think brown women missed that boat entirely. it just looks cheap on us.
Re: IS IT OK FOR A BRIDE TO LOOK SEXY AT HER WEDDING???
i dont think showing skin automatically makes you look sexy. you can go for that look through your hair and makeup.. pakistani brides usually go for the smokey eye look, and smokey eyes have always been considered sexy. the frumpy looking brides are dwindling down.. more brides are getting a fashion sense and can manage to pull together an elegant and beautiful look and still look "desirable," which i think is a better term to use
cleavage is a big no.. no matter where you're from. even when i see gori brides wearing cleavage bearing dresses at the church, it makes me cringe. it's like they have no sense of their surroundings. the first thing i think of when i see a desi bride showing cleavage is how awkward it must be for them to face their dad lol

Why is that though?
If you're naturally well endowed, well, it can take quite a bit of effort ot have to cover it up all the time, and honestly not every woman is comfortable having to wear turtle necks and loose tops can be unflattering on the figure. I hate anything high on the neck or tight around my neck (wearing so many necklaces was really uncomfortable!)....its not my fault I have big boobs so why should I suffer for it.
I think there's a difference between deliberately making them something to be gawked at as opposed to the kind of clevage that shows when your clothes aren't loose or frumpy.

Best thread title on GS
Each to their own.. Some Indian brides look stunning in their (usually more revealing) outfits..
I’m in a bit of a weird situation regarding this so I can kinda relate.. For my registry I’d planned to wear a western gown and my dad likes the mermaid style, strapless and very fitted but my mum is a hijabi and would have a heart attack if I wore that.. She isn’t really happy with the white gown idea at all but she might accept a less revealing style with a full skirt and the top being sleeveless but having very wide straps so they look almost like cap sleeves.. I have no clue how to deal with the drama and trying to keep everyone happy

well she didnt want all the uncles and the granny's seeing her in the choli and it was for her husband which is the way it should be...she doesnt have to display it to the world...which perfectly fine :D
