What kind of dress........

I’m going to have two weddings, a Arab one (with a white dress) and a desi one with a desi stye wedding dress. However, I dont know what should I get or what will go good with me. I want one with dark colors though because I’m already going to wear a white one. So any ideas here. I love a heavy veil.

Re: What kind of dress........

For your desi style wedding get a burgundy dress with deep sapphire blue and peacock green fabric and gold and bronze embroidery.... Get a nice streamlined lehnga with a dupatta that is completely embroidered, perhaps something with cutwork or scallop edges to frame the face nicely.... Yummm
:)

Re: What kind of dress........

Wow that sounds really nice. I really want a nice deep color like red. Acutally I've always wanted to wear a desi style dress but I also wanted to wear a western style dress so I get the chance to do both now :). So when I'm in dubai I'm just going to go shopping around. Thanks

Re: What kind of dress........

two weddings? :-/

Re: What kind of dress........

Maj, you have to decide whether you want to go for a lehnga or a gharara...I say go for a gharara if you want a really traditional look. Also, it may depend on the traditions in his family - ask for opinions from girls from his side of the family!

Re: What kind of dress…

he has no girls in his family and his family is very westerized. Although they are kashmiri they think like arabs.

Re: What kind of dress…

yeah 2 lol one here in Michigan, a arab one. and another in San Diego, a desi style one. He’s the only child so his parents are gonna want to give him a party there you know.
