lengha...help!

Hello guppies!!!

I am weighing up options for my walima i’m wearing red and gold on barat, i am struggling with walima. Please help! in my mind i have two options :

  1. Royal blue and silver

  2. Purple and gold ( purple and silver looks a little off key no?)

I have a wheatish complexion, dark eyes and i am slim with a height of 5’5 and long brown hair. ( No this isnt a wedding advert!) i just want you to get a better picture in your head!!

What make up would work for the above colours? i.e option 1 blue silver eyes and red lipstick or pink etc…

Please help me as i am going berserk in my head. I have refrained from using the above colours on my brothers wedding too just so i look fresh :smiley:

Re: lengha...help!

Purple and gold will look good:D Go ahead! :)

Re: lengha...help!

purple and yellow are complementary colors and gold is pretty close to yellow. it will look really good however i have seen an indian friend wear purple and silver with blue accents and if you are interested I can try to find a pic and share it with you privately.

Re: lengha...help!

Oo can you kindly post any pictures of bridal outfits with purple and gold/ royal blue and silver !!

Teri nazar, i havent seen a bridal lengha in either colour here :( people usually go for sea green , pink or turqoise for their walima here!!

Ayesha :D

Sweet lil hunnie please do share!

Re: lengha...help!

Purple and gold sounds lovely to me. Stay away from the blue, a cousin of mine wore the blue and silver a few years back, not a great colour IMO. Rather than having a fixed colour in your mind why don't you go out and keep an open mind for the lehngha, and buy what you like, I do this when buying clothes for a special close family wedding. This way you have more options and don't restrict your choices. Just my opinion.:)

Re: lengha...help!

Purple and gold sounds very pretty...you could do smokey purple-ish eyes but not too dark.

I like.

Re: lengha…help!

these aren’t all bridals, i was just wondering how it would look and which shade of purple. I think it would look better than the Royal blue…right?

Re: lengha...help!

my older bhabi had the first one its a karma piece!

i really like 5th picture, how would i make it more suitable ( i.e no tummy showing) make the kameez lambhi , also want the skirt done up more , as my bhabi had a similar skirt but for her engagement party.

i was thinking maybe long shirt embroidered with the skirt? and duppata would be purple and gold?

:D i love guppies , you all are creative!

Re: lengha…help!

i love the color combination of the 5th one too, gold contrasting with the dark purple just looks beautiful but yea the short blouses are only for the models the rest of us earthlings need long lengha tops :smiley:

i guess you’ll just have to see which shade of purple would look good on you

dark purple on wheatish skintone would look like this
not a bridal but just wanted to look at how it would look

Re: lengha…help!

***Purple and gold sounds divine. It would go well with pista green as well.

Re: lengha...help!

when i looked back at her pictures the lengha's top is nice but the skirt isn't very cute but if anyone wants to see it they need to pm me bc i don't want this floating aroud gs

Re: lengha…help!

This is how royal blue and silver will look. I dont usually like this combo for a bride but i think this bride carried it off nicely

Re: lengha…help!

who’s the designer of this?i wish i could see a close up of this, i have a feeling it’s beautiful

Re: lengha...help!

your going for red and gold for your barat, i think purple and gold is sort of similar? or in the same range of colours... why not go for something different?

Re: lengha…help!

sorry :frowning: i try to find the designer, but my bad i couldnt..
i found it on this link Bridal Wear: Bridal Lehnga
