Re: Wearing my wedding lengha to brother's wedding
don't do it !
i agree with khawateen that day is for the bride can you imagine if your outfit looked better .eyes should be on the bride not for the wannabe bride again
Re: Wearing my wedding lengha to brother's wedding
I personally wouldnt wear it. Your wedding lengha should be special and have the memory of your wedding, not ur brothers. But thats just my feeling.
Re: Wearing my wedding lengha to brother's wedding
I wore my baraat lehnga to my BIL's wedding just a mnth ago.. and since i didnt get married in pk and was kinda meeting everyone back home for the first time it lookd fab.. there were 2 other newly weds other than me who were all decked out in their wedding outfits wearing heavier jewellery than the bride but i guess it all goes in pk! :D
Since you are the groom's sister, wear it on the Walema. I think its really cute when sisters or cousins or sister in laws wear their own bridal dresses on someone's wedding. Since you are saying its not even that heavy then go for it. As long as you don't do the whole dupatta over the head thing you should be fine. You can even wear your whole bridal set.
As Khawateen mentioned there is no way any other woman can steal the bride's thunder.

i think ure getting confused with my post.. i said the absolute opp of that.. :D
Thanks girls, you've helped me to decide to wear it!
I would def not even attempt to steal bride's thunder (not that I could anyway) - of course it's her big day and she will look far more beautiful! I hardly liked all the attention on my big day so would no way want to take any away from her...
Thanks for advice on keeping jewellry simple. Also I will def not be wearing the dupatta on my head.

Re: Wearing my wedding lengha to brother's wedding
why would anyone want to wear the dupatta on their head at someone else's wedding anyway? it's painful for so many as it is and not to mention the discomfort of walking around. it was nice wearing it at my own, not uncomfortable but that's probably because i was sitting on stage most of the time. i can no way imagine walking around at someone else's wedding and trying to manage it.
Re: Wearing my wedding lengha to brother's wedding
As long as the colour is different (from Brides), wear it on the Barat day it'll def look nice...Tikka looks nice, I love tikka's too :)
Just try not to have ur hairstyle and make-up same as the Bride... As its ur Brothers Wedding go for it..

Shay, i've seen girls with dupatta's on their head on someone else's wedding, its because they wear hijab.. so instead of wearing some scarf they wear the dupatta of the lehnga.... this is what im aware of, might b something else too!
Re: Wearing my wedding lengha to brother's wedding
no way.
not because you will steal the brides thunder-- coz nobody can, but dont wear it coz it looks completely out of place.
and if u must wear it, get a regular dupatta or a new sharara made or something with the shirt instead of using the original 3 pieces
Re: Wearing my wedding lengha to brother's wedding
i think u should wear ur lengha on ur bros wedding or valima. go for makeup and hairstyles after all ure teh grooms sister. The other thing is a bride is a bride and no one can really outshine her.
its just that as far as ppl are concerned tehy just talk and talk and talk thats all they ever do babes so doesnt really matter

Hah. i just saw some picts right now, these two girls wearing heavy duputtas on their head at a mehndi. It just looks so stupid...
re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
Just a poll....would you guys wear your bridal jewelery (ie pieces that are usually solely reserved for the bride, like a teeka with jhoomar or maata patti) to someone else's wedding? Is it appropriate and under what circumstances?
I was talking to some girls in my city about how I wouldnt ever wear mine to another girl's wedding and they all slowly admitted they would or have, which surprised me. I understand the point.... I mean, if you've bought it, you want to get full use out of it, but why in the world would you buy a 24 karat heavy jhoomar or maata patti when you know full well you cant wear it a lot? There's just something about a girl who wears all her bridal jewelery WITH her bridal jora at another girl's wedding that looks off to me. You can wear your jora and have a totally different look without seeming like you're trying to re-live your big day.
am I the only one who thinks it looks pathetic or do you think its ok if its someone you're very close to, like a sister or best friend?
Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
If it's someone you're close to, friend/ sister/ cousin/ family wedding, then I'd wear it only if I feel it's appropriate but not a matha patti, that looks slightly OTT for other peoples' events. I'd probably get an outfit much simpler than the usual heavy, studded ones to pair the jewelry with. You can always wear your teeka for someone's mehndi or get a pendant made out of it. Same thing with matha patti too, you can convert it into a necklace and wear it that way.
Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
i would probably wear it to a very close relatives wedding like sister/nand/devar etc but not together. for example on the barat/mehndi i might just wear the tika and then wear jhoomar on the walima. i think its a bit over the top to wear both of them together to another person's wedding.
I totally agree with both of you....I was going to convert my maata patti by keeping the teeka part and using the extra two chains to make a two-stranded bracelet. I also agree in that its not OTT to just wear a teeka, but wearing them both together (to me) looks weird.

^ That's an awesome idea!
