Re: Wearing your wedding dress at cousin's wedding

• Wear the shirt
• lighten the dupatta if possible
• wear the tikka if you want
• skip the jhoomar all together
• wear a simple necklace
• don't wear the lehnga unless the shirt is very short and you have to wear it and cannot wear trouser/pants/churidaars.
• if you wear a lehnga, and it's in a bridal-red color, skip the tikka

I think brides nowadays are very lucky because of the long kameez trend. They can wear it w/ churidaars or trousers, anything.

Good point w/ the hair^
Avoid the bun. Keep hair let down so it looks more casual.

Glittery ear rings with simple or small locket chain wud look amazing for that kinda events.

I wore my bridal outfit at my husband's cousin's valima recently. I purposely did not wear it on her wedding day because then both of us would be wearing red. It was fine on her valima though, because she wore cream and I wore my red bridal. I wore the dupatta on my shoulder but still wore my beautiful antique jewellery set including the tika because honestly, it is so nice when am I ever going to get the chance of wearing it again?

In my opinion even if you wear your own wedding dress to another girl's wedding...you can't out shine her...the bride is the bride and she will always be the most beautiful girl in the room.

Reha- The problem is that i got married in 2008 when the shirts were still medium lenght, but I guess if my mom and aunts absolutely feel that I should go ahead then Ill go ahead and do just earrings and tikka and skip the necklace. What do you guys think about that?

If you do tikka and earrings, keep your hairdo simple and stylish. No twisty updo’s or anything.

Precisely. A few of my relations wore their wedding outfits with full jewelry, makeup and hair to my wedding. Did they look lovely? Yes. Did I care? Not a bit...I am by no means vain, but THAT day, my wedding day, I was so happy, so full of love, excitement and joy at fulfilling half my deen, that nothing else registered and I was glowing (and I have no problems saying that ;)). And THAT is what everybody noticed and focused upon.
