I have a big wedding coming up in a few weeks, and as per usual.. I am clueless about what to wear. I have never really put in much effort when it comes to weddings (as they are not normally this close).. so don’t know what the traditional style is
For the mehndi - I was think those sort of anarkali dresses, with the chudidar that are in - perhaps that deep red colour with green, or maybe yellow with green. Are you supposed to be ‘dressy’ at the mendhi - eg, should I get clothes with lots of sparkle, or keep it simple??
And for the main days, WHAT to wear ??
Oh my hair is a disaster at the moment, need to get it cut - should I keep it long - what kind of style would look nice for the mehndi??
Help would be appreciated, Im a total fashion flop
^ As a friend, girls are expected to dress up and look nice…esp if they’re kunwari
mehndi–u can wear anarkali or churidar…any color is fine, it doesnt have ot be OTT and full of kaam, even a little bit of kaam is okay..as long as it makes your figure look good. Paranda is always nice, whether hte outfit is bling blingin or simple.
And along w/ what Sara wrote, don’t wear red on the baraat. And wearing flower earrings instead of regular earrings looks hot when worn w/ a churidaar dress. Like hoops made out of tiny white flowers. They are usually thin compared to the bride’s thick ones and look so great!
yikes, I really ought to get cracking then.. whats kunwari mean??
Wow, i never considered wearing a paranda, thanks for that. For the main days - should I go lengha style?? Would I get away with salwar kameez.. or should I leave that?
edit - oh and should I stick with the traditional yellow/green/ gold combo at the mehndi, or do people wear other colours?
its like a kameez - lots of kaam - but not in the OTT sense. Its got a baggy salwar - the fabric is a silky red/green colour. It has no sleeves, this tends to be ‘in’ nowadays Should i sew some short sleeves or go sleeveless, bearing in mind nikkah is before the mehndi…
does your family tend to mind that? if not, then go for it! i personally like sleeves on any bridal outfit whether it be for mehndi or engagement etc but if you really the outfit, do what suits you
tht combination of red and green wud def. look hot. Even i m attendin a weddin of a close relative this weeknd.. wearing an anarkali on mehndi its a combo of mustard,dull gold and dried mehndi green color. baraat i m keeping it white its got kaam of swarovski crystals and beads in sequince..(looks just wow to me :P)
valima is a saree in powder pink color.. plain cmprd to mehndi and baraat outfit but thts ok as i dont want to go too OTT.
Im just looking at it now.. and im not too sure anymore I think the salwar looks wierd.. its one of those without the bukrum on the poncha - it has embroidery on the poncha though.. im orried it may look tatty
Wow, that sounds awesome moonlight! I tried anarkali on.. but it doesnt suit me
Saree - Ive been thinking about that .. however if I do wear one - I should wear it to the barat? As the valima, I dont know anyone, Im going as part of my friends side D=
Should i sew some short sleeves or go sleeveless, bearing in mind nikkah is before the mehndi…
