Nikah Outfit Suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I’m reallly confused and need your help! My Nikkah is only around the corner (after EID) and i need to choose a colour for my nikkah outfit but i have absolutely no idea!

My wedding is next year and i am quite clear about those colours for example i might go for:

Yellow/orange/green for mendhi
white/ivory for registration
red/maroon for Rukhsati

and i will probably not be having a walima.

So what colour should i wear for the Nikkah as this will be a separate function… i need to know urgently as i have to put my dress order in this week.

thanks xxxxxxxxx

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

I thought the nikkah and walima were the main events from a religious point of view, so when you say you're not having a walima I presume you mean the dinner etc will be given on the day of the rukhsati for example?

Anyway I digress, there's no rules as to what colour you have to wear for your Nikkah but I would've gone with something like ivory or cream - however you're wearing that for your registration so how about something in a nice pastel shade?

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

Yes soz what i meant to say was that the rukhsati and walima will be together if you know what i mean........ so i will have only the one outfit for that.

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

Maybe something soft-colored -- pinks, lilac, lavendar, purple, peach, aqua, ferozi, indigo, periwinkle. i think any of these would look nice. don't worry about the color too much, since you don't really mind. just look for a suit you really like.

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

Eh? what is registration ? Ist hat on the same day as nikkah?

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

I think sparrow is referring to the civil ceromony - which isn't actually obligatory since the Nikkah is recognised by UK law as a legal marriage ceromony but some people like to do both :)

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

^ Is it common for Uk desis to do that? because i have never heard of it being done here in USA..

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

purples,greens,pinks,or ferozi.are best for nikah .these r innocent colors and make u girly.

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

For my nikkah ill be wearing sea green/ferozi/turqoise/teal and/or a mauvey-pink

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

It’s not uncommon, but not everyone does it. I did but I’m not sure why if I’m honest, just wanted another excuse to get dressed up probably :hehe:

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

LOl sounds good! is it done on the same day as the nikkah? coz then i thin it would be too much trouble to get ur hair/makeup/jewelry/change clotehs in the same day haina?

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

sea green and mauvey pink looks really good!

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

I think it’s a matter of personal preference but usually they done on separate days since it’s hard to book everything for the same day.

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

nikkah per ap eyes band ker k ferozi ya os say zara dark ferozi ek shade hota hai wo.....bus yeh colors ...ya tea pink say zara dark shade....wo bhe acha lagta hai.......

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

Hi everyone,

Thanks very much for all your suggestions i quite like the idea of ferozi and i have seen the most beautiful ferozi (dark ferozi with some green) dress ever but some of my friends have said that it's more of a walima colour rather than a nikkah colour but as i won't have a separate walima function i think it should be okay what do you guys think?

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

^ I think it will be nice.

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

well I am not sure if its true or not but i was told by some old aunties in ma family That hazrat Fatima (razi allah tala enha) wore green for her nikkah

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?

Ferozi sounds nice.

Re: What colour lengha for Nikkah?
