What to wear on my valima

4_da_starz · February 23, 2009, 12:23am

I got married 2 years ago but at the time of my wedding my husbands naana had passed away so we did not have a valima. Then later on I was expecting and I did not want our valima then. Now, after 2 years his parents are coming here to ny from pk just to do our valima but I dont know what to wear. I have a year old daughter so I don’t want something really shokhi… if you know what I mean. It is going to be a small family function at one of the desi restaurants here in NY … so it has to be something simple. I would love anything in pink and blue. Any light colors. Any ideas?? I would love it if anyone could post some pictures too!

My "valima" was 2.5 years later -- a nice lunch reception at a restaurant in London for close family and friends. I wore the outfit that my MIL originally gave me for my valima -- a ferozi angharka and chooridaar. I did not wear the dupatta on my head. I was comfortable but still dressed up enough for the occasion. It definitely worked well.

A light pastel angharka and churidaar would look pretty.. maybe try light colors like peach, pale pink, mint, lavender?
