Mehandi outfits

What is the latest trend these days in Pak? Shalwar kameez, chooridar, shararas or what?? I am noticing people are going from simple shalwar kameezes to lehangas, organza outfits with full makeup and what not. I thought the bride was supposed to be “simple” on the mehandi day inorder to look really different the next day with the thopafication??? Is taht trend changing in Pak or is it just with the people i have seen?

Also post pics of any fav mehandi outfits you have. I love mfs’s mehandi outfit in the thread below.

i didn't have a mehndi, but did have a mayun. i dressed really simple and when my cousins saw me, they thought i wasn't ready yet, lol.

Ira I'm getting mine made in Dubai by a designer we know there. Its going to be green with silver work on it and very Kashmiri :)

Re: Mehandi outfits

larki what did you exactly wear? what material, what kaam? please post a pic if you can :slight_smile:

Majestic: what are you going to be wearing?Shalwar kameez? I am afraid i dont know what kashmiri dresses look like :blush:

Re: Mehandi outfits

Ira its going to be pure green silk with hand embroidered kashmiri work. and no its not going to be shalwar kameez style. For my henna I'm going to dress like a Yemeni bride, I'm going to wear heavy silver jewelry from Yemen, with a green dress. Its funny because the heavy silver jewerly I've seen even on kashmiri women so this works out great :)

Re: Mehandi outfits

recently saw pics of someone's mehndi and she was wearing a yellow chooridaar and wearing minimal make-up.

Re: Mehandi outfits

Rukhsar i was also thinking along the lines of a chooridar, since i think it looks traditional. will decide once i goto pak InshaAllah and see whats in i guess. What are you thinking abt wearing?

Re: Mehandi outfits

I agree on the whole minimal make-up thing for the mehandi

Re: Mehandi outfits

sorry don't have pictures but the shalwaar was yellow and the kameez was green with really small yellow designs on it. very simple.

Re: Mehandi outfits

Wear a paishwaaz or a gharara in yellow. Add a bit of green, Nice string of goota and lots of flowers.
