Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
I have seen new brides wearing their outfit, teeka, jhoomar, matha patti to close relatives' wedding but not the nath. Never seen a nath being re-worn.
Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
I would definitely re-ware my bridal set! My Mom didn't buy it for me to only wear once, plus it cost alot!! Okay, honestly..I wore my moms earrings and necklace my father had gotten her after they got married and we modified it a bit. We just had to buy a separate matching jhumar and tikka. So with that said..I am wearing my wedding set to my brothers valima this summer. I am going to wear a simple sari with light makeup and then this heavy gorgeous set. I won't look OTT because the rest of me is simple. I hate when other former briodes come as heavy as the current bride, I mean its the brides day to shine and look nice and heavy. The former bride had her time to do the same. Oh and I will wear all the jewels minus the jhumar. I don't want to compete with the bride though my Mom insists I wear the jhumar too. I was thinking I'd wear the jhumar to the next relatives wedding without the tikka. What do you guys think?
Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
I wore my jhoomar a lot after I got married. But I didn't wear it to shaadis, mainly to mehndis (especially if I'm going to be dancing!) and I would get a lot of compliments on it. A lot of aunties would tell me that it was great I wasn't wasting my jewelry. I wouldn't wear the full set at once, but maybe the earrings and jhoomar. Or maybe the necklace, earrings and tikka to a large family wedding, but not with my bridal jora obviously.
Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
If someone showed up at my wedding with all her jewelry and her bridal lehnga on, I'd get her kicked out ...
I would never wear my bridal jora + jewelry to someone else's wedding ...
Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
my newly wed cousins wore their lehnga and bridal jewlery (just teeka, necklace and earrings) to my mehndi (with dupatta on their shoulder) and I think it looked gorgeous. Since I was wearing simple yellow outfit, they just brought a lot of color and bling bling to my mehndi and pictures.. I appreciated it :-)
Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
I've worn my teeka. I wore my nani's jhoomer; I wouldn't wear it to someone else's wedding.
Re: re-wearing bridal jewelery to someone else's wedding
Well, it is really done at most wedding in Karachi. Many newly wed brides are actually expected to appear in their full wedding glory to another wedding. hey never get kicked out or pointed out that they are doing something wrong. Everything is rather appreciated.
