re: Real Indian Weddings

why do indian brides look like someone threw up polki n diamonds on them and why does the jewellery never match the clothes and why is everything is tacky! i dont think indians knws the term less is more apparently apparently more is more for them!

re: Real Indian Weddings

Its part of their culture (a very rich culture)...so let em.

re: Real Indian Weddings

re: Real Indian Weddings

u r rite...indian brides looks so messy and tacky...over loaded..dnt knw y thay wear multi color dresses and jewellary....zero fashion....

re: Real Indian Weddings

oh god ppl...I think I am saying this like a millionth time here, please ppl understand the culture...a lot of india wedding are jigjig and colorful thats how their culture is...99% of the brides are not getting married jsut to showcase a designer outfit and some jewelry,all nice and matchy matchy... here wedding are so much more, they are about rasams, family, keeping their values/traditions alive etc, few girls I know wore their mothers or MIL's wedding sari with some nani dadi's jewelry and it doesn't go well together, SO WHAT....why it had to fit a certain bill

in my husband's nan-hiyaal, once the meet and greet is done, the girl supposed to wear all the jewelry she got as gifts before rukhsaki or end of the function/party, if she doesn't, ppl who gave her jewelry take it as a disrespect and rejection of their gift, some of the pics from after gift giving are a mess, the big flowers that don't look esthatically pleasing, the big naths...all are TRADITIONS, please try to understand the 'ladofy factor' and don't fit all the brides in one frame or judge them according to one 'standard' that we paksitanis have in our narrow mind.
The brides in india are very diferent, from south to north, east to west....probably they are all loaded in their own way but that is the CULTUREEEEEE

re: Real Indian Weddings

and don't judge these brides as some pendo, over dressed women, most of them are brilliant, higly educated and accomplished...and most of these brides from big big weddings are actually running some big MNCs or big multibillion dollar local companies like nadar, kasliwal, reddy, jindal, modi, saraf, girls etc they are all higly accomplished women..but too bad all have or will get married as multicoloured overloaded or underloaded pendo women...

re: Real Indian Weddings

Oh, no. ^
That's not what they're saying, although it is wrong to criticize anyone's traditions, Pakistani weddings are also all about "rasams, family, keeping their values/traditions alive etc", I think that is the theme in all Pakistani/Indian/Bengali weddings or all weddings of South Asia. And In Pakistan, women wear their mom's/nani's wedding dresses too, I see it ALL the time. Heirloom is another common theme amongst South Asian weddings.

Also, most of the Indian weddings you're posting are from the bigger cities where its a bit more trendier so you'll see colorful things which may look different to Pakistani people, same way with Pakistani stuff shocking some Indian people. All weddings, in BOTH countries, vary by the region they are from. A Pakistani-punjabi wedding is often very different from a Pakistani-Sindhi wedding, same way w/ weddings in India.

All i'm saying is, people saying Indian weddings are tacky or OTT are wrong, not only by being rude, but also not understanding that not all Indian weddings are like that. Nor are all Pakistani weddings w/ elaborate jewelry/clothing as Dosa Chick said. And BOTH countries highly cherish the heirloom/traditions, it's just regions vary in BOTH countries so much even a Pakistani will be shocked by a wedding held in another region within Pakistan, as would an Indian. Regions, regions, regions.
