What do you think?
Does that mean everyone’s clothes/jewels/makeup have to be lighter than yours?
And that no matter how expensive and unpractical your attire may be, you’ve got to have the heaviest clothes/jewels/and makeup around?
Is that what being a bride is all about?

Nopes…id rather look pretty than overly dressed:bummer:Anyone who wants to be more heavily dressed on my day is more than welcome to 
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
As a guest, it’s not my fault if I have better taste than the bride 
(jk jk jk !!!)
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
^ it’s true.
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
although, i'm not sure about how i feel like other people wearing their wedding dress to my wedding..
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
^ feel honored.
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
Everyone should wear what makes them feel good, from the bride to the guests. If as a guest you want to pull out your own wedding dress, go ahead but that doesn't mean I'm not judging :D
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
I think there's a difference between being all decked out in heavy clothes/jewelry/makeup and looking bridal. You can wear all that to a wedding and still look fine....as compared to a guest who comes in their bridal lengha with tikkas and jhoomars and an updo and wearing their dupatta pinned on their head all bridal style.....you arent the bride, so why are you trying to recreate your exact wedding day look and doing everything that is normally associated with a bride? If a guest wants to wear her own wedding dress, there is still a tasteful way to do that without looking bridal, and as long as she is doing that then it doesnt matter how heavy her dress is
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
^ I agree.
I also think that some brides are really concerned about people looking "better" than them. But I just don't see how that's possible. You are going to have a special glow as the bride. All eyes are on you. And if there are prettier women than you on the guest list, they are going to look prettier even if they're wearing potato sacks. The point is to look and feel your best and enjoy the day.
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
lol This reminds me of a recent incident, where my cousins went to someone’s wedding wearing crimson, orange and shocking pink coloured annarkalis with bit of kaam, and my aunt was proper asking them why the hell are you so glamed up, teri shahdi hai? And my cousin was like we’re dressed normal its the bride who decided to be all ‘beige and boring’. They were the real eye candies of the wedding and they were totally unapologetic about it. The funny part is that bride was actually quite pissed at them, according to an inside report. lol
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
If I'm not wrong, I think these days if they drop hints at invitation if they want you to dress in a certain way. So how would they word the invitation if they don't want to you to turn up looking like a Christmas tree?
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
I don't get what the big deal is, there were lots of girls who looked better than me at my wedding simply because they were dressed well and were better looking than me. I don't get why people are so sensitive about it, if you care so much maybe the invite should specify only people uglier than me can come.
Even if a guest showed up wearing her full bridal outfit, I think it would be kinda funny since it would be obvious that its not her wedding yet she's dressed like a bride. Besides if people are paying attention to someone else other than you(the bride) just coz they look better, you've clearly invited the wrong kind of people anyways.
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
I don't buy into this whole thing at all.
I went to a wedding once...and the bride kept asking me if one of the other bridesmaids looked better than her.
omg, why do you care? People aren't here because they got a memo saying SHE would be here...they're here for you...the bride. So revel in that and just have fun knowing all of these people are here to celebrate your big day with you.
At my wedding, I don't remember what people were wearing or how they looked.
What I DO remember is one of my aunts crying because she was so happy, how my sisters looked that day, my BIL trying to fix my nath with a pair of pliers, my best friends helping me get ready, my family *making *my backdrop, the chaos, the fun, etc etc etc.
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
My friend's cousin wore all the shadi dresses to my friend's wedding! she wore her mehndi outfit on her mehndi, her shadi outfit on her shadi and her valima outfit on her valima.. omg, we know you got married, get over it

Of course she has every right to be pissed.
I do believe that you CAN wear your wedding dress to another wedding but there's a proper way and a wrong way to do it. It's one thing if you wear what you would normally wear and you get there and find out that the bride is very...ummm shall we say..understated...that's not your fault. But if you KNOW for a fact that the bride is not into bling bling, and you go there dressed to the nines expecting to stand out and get attention then that IS wrong and quite mean of them.
I wore my wedding dress to my devar's wedding because I knew it was accepted in their family for them to do that....my dress was at least ten times heavier than hers (and aside from my regrets at wearing it) she did look absolutely beautiful on her wedding. My jethani also wore her wedding outfit and jewelery (wth the jhumar too) on my wedding, and it looked nice.
DON'T wear the duputta on the head! Get a lighter duputta if possible ro pin it to the shoulder. If you wear hijab then for God's sake, WEAR A PROPER SCARF! A bridal duputta is NOT a hijab.
DON'T wear the wedding dress on the wedding day (and valima dress on the valima day and so on).
DON'T wear the dress if you're not the sister/sister-in-law/direct relative of the person getting married!

What's wrong with that?
I was told that on a wedding day angels surround a bride and give her an extra special bridal glow and protect her. So no matter what other people are or aren't wearing shel always look/feel special. I don't have references (aya/Hadith) for this but it's a lovely thought :)
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
nah, dont care, they will add some bling bling to my photos i guess haha :D
^ lol actually adding to the above comment, I'm worried about some family members not dressing well and making my pictures look bad :( wonder if I can dress them...
Re: No one is allowed to look more dressed up than ME on MY wedding day
i would be stoked if all the guests showed up at my wedding in their own wedding attire...I think a wedding like that would be awesome
