You can have the veil down when there's unrelated males around.
We live in the west so we may as well follow the culture... Desi brides look like Christmas trees, we over do everything which is not very classy, it looks too freshy...
i feel the same exact wayyyy…it’s nice to know im not the only one that feels that way…
and NO for those of u thinking that im ABCD…im not!!
however there are some nice desi wedding suits that are not overly done. My friend had a wedding not too long ago…she wore white…it was lace with pearl and diamond stones on it instead of that tacky gold kaam. It was a beautiful suit…and she wore only 1 diamond set and that was all. Looked very classy.
haha…kinda true ( i cant believe someone here thinks the way i do)
…i guess ppl just need to learn how to design the clothes so that they look classier…there are some suits that look nice these days. It’s just hard to find em here in america.
Yeah I'm of part Desi descent, of mixed Pashtun (which aint Desi, it's Middle Eastern) and Rajput-Punjabi/Hindko (which is Desi) descent but I'm born in Britian so I'm only a Brit Muslim over here...
...I'd rather leave Asian culture in Asia, it's not suited to peoples tastes over here and it's better to assimilate coz it's disrespectful if we don't.
When I get married I'll have a western wedding if we have it in England, of course she will be completely covered (no short arms or cleveage), I just need a Mosque with that 'gothic' architecture now and a grand wedding hall...
I know… Like during fairs and stuff I see all these hot Desi girls but they’re dressed in these Saari’s (which don’t get me wrong are realllllyyy prettyy) and ‘overtly ethnic’ ShalwarKameez which make these girls look really ‘not sexually appealing’, I think it’s coz their so ‘in your face’ and overtly pretty…
Same with blokes too, like at Desi-Do’s they wear all these silk ShalwarKameez’s and Sherwanis with **** loads of glittery embroidery and scarves which sooo spealls out “effeminate curry-muncher”
.. Plain Shalwar Kameez looks pretty nice and kind of medieval (in a classy way) on a guy, maybe with a Kufi or a Amaamah, a decent wool waistcoat etc. but these embroidered ones look gay unless it’s a Kurta with a bit of embroidery around the neck and cuffs.
I’ve nothing against either culture, lekin har baat ki apni apni jageh hoti hai. When I go to Pakistan I want to be able to enjoy the local culture and see people who are proud to be who they are instead of doing a bad job of something they can never ever be…
Foreigners will appreciate Pakistanis more if Pakistanis learn to respect themselves and know their indentity, a confused nation doesn’t give off a very good image, a westrner will respect you more if you do a good job of who you are instead of aping something you can’t be to save your life…
Over here it’s different, just as western culture is out of place in Asia, Asian culture is too ‘ethnic’ and out of place overe here, we still practice our religion because religion is universal and the other two western religions have their roots in the Middle East too…
I think desi clothes like lenghas and saris are beautiful and if worn the right way (to fit your body and complement body type) can make u look pretty even with less makeup on. I actually find gori brides washed out in white dresses and their blah makeup…Im not in favor of the Gola Danda look makeup that most women had on on their weddings in the past but recently wedding makeup (if done by professionals …depilex, rose etc) far surpasses makeup done on white brides. they make up eyes beautifully, the foundation is flawless.
if classy is the look u r going for at your wedding then this can be accomplished using a white, red, blue or green dress whatever…and a few gold jewellery pieces here and there. but the dress has to fit really well.
oh and for the hijab question- i see this hair jewellery that indians wear on their weddings its like a piece that you wear over your forehead and it covers up your forehead and the teeka is connected to it…it goes from ear to ear it looks pretty i dunno what its called…so u could use that and cover the rest with dupatta…
The difference between eatsen fashion and western fashion is western fashion is designed to make the wearer the centre of attention, hence it is often suggestive or revealing.
Eastern fashion is designed to make the clothes the centre of attention instead.
i understand what u mean by overly ethnic...i totally agree. i like the desi clothes that blend east and west...the kinda clothes that i wouldnt mind wearing to the mall if need be...and i prefer going with makeup that blends in with ur complexion as oppose 2 putting on makeup that "tries" to make u look whiter like most desi girls/brides do.
