A saat lada is a specific kind of raani haar that is pretty specific to Muslims from old Hyderabad. It consists of seven single strands of pearls of different lengths, each with a small ruby or emerald studded pendant. Its usually worn with a kind of wide choker called a laccha.

Hyderabadi dulhan wearing very traditional jewelry:

The thing on top is a laccha, and the long necklace is a saat lada.

so basically, my mom’s choker is a laccha. cool!! eee! im so excited to wear it, it looks kick ass. she’s also got the same one mum has.

Nope. You can’t really tell from that pic, but she’s actually wearing a khara dupatta. She has the actual ‘khara’ dupatta (which is as long as a saree) pleated and pinned on in the traditional Hyderabadi style over her shoulder, and is wearing a matching, lighter dupatta to cover her hair. A lot of times, since the dupatta is so heavily embroidered (the qameez and churridar tend to be a little on the plain side, while the dupatta is the focal point of the outfit), it doesnt drape very well when you try to cover your head with it, so people like to wear a lighter, softer dupatta to cover their heads, and just pin the main one on like youre supposed to.

That makes more sense. Do they always wear churidaar outfits (since u mentioned it below)?

A khara dupatta is always worn over a churridar payjama, and most traditional Hyderabadi brides (especially ones from old aristocratic khandaans) still wear khara dupattas at their weddings. Its pretty big in their culture.

I've noticed that you hardly see them among Hyderabadis who migrated to Pakistan...I don't think I've ever seen one in Karachi. I think its something more common among 'pukka' Indian Hyderabadis.

Its very pretty....ive only seen a couple of dulhans here wear them...it belong to their mum as well! :)

It looks very old fashioned...like the farshi ghararas they used to wear in Lucknow 50 or 60 years ago.

Yah -- but those seemed more graceful to me. This also doesn't seem to fit her well.

the dulhan is looking very beautiful.
Nice colour and nice kaam, and she as a nice set which looks good with her outfit.

Her sharara/gharara is beautiful, nice kaam and good colour but the top/kameez doesnt suit with the peach colour.
But the ladies with her have beautiful necklaces.

i heart khara dupattas! i had one made a loooong time ago for my phoppo’s wedding and i remember what a huge pain it was to get the dupatta pinned up. it really is a very heavy dupatta.

her is really very lovely too… very nice!

I don’t think it’s ugly…not something I’d prefer for myself though, its just very unique and different…

Re: Post Bridal Make-up Pics real Weddings would be great

BTW some of the picures I posted were from 2004, and I think that color combo (red and pink) was in back then...

for me it was a couple of things. first of all its pink, while the rest of the dress is red and silver. the other thing is that its too party like...not shaadi enough. while walking there is like space between the 2 legs...and with a bridal gharara there should be no empty space seen..and yet it should still look like a gharara.
