I don't think it matters much if someone wears black to a mehndi, wedding, walima and what not. I've worn black to these events as well. I think the questions lies in, would it be "okay" for a bride to wear black on her wedding day?
^ even if it isn't considered 'okay' the bride shouldnt really give a damn imo. if she wants to wear black then its no one elses business. if i wanted to wear black to one of my wedding functions (most likely walima) then that's what i would wear. i dont care if other ppl dont like it, besides they will always find something else to gossip about lol
Lol. So true, I agree, no matter what someone will find something to say. So, just gotta do what you want and what you feel and if it's okay with the man in your life, then it's all good! hehe.

Rabia- That's a stunning bridal, who's the designer?
Lipstick- I believe its HSY, but not 100% sure.

I wore a black saree to my uncle's walima and no-one said anything or gave me dirty looks. I wouldn't mind if ppl wore black to my mehndi, wedding or walima (not too many of them obviously tho lol).. My family used to be funny about white when I was little but now my Mum says it's ok to go ahead and wear ivory/cream for my own wedding.. it's funny how ppl's perceptions change..
Sohni, that black lehenga's lovely :)
i know you cant wear black to a pooja bc the color represents death, even though widows wear white... i hear that back in the day family wore black to mourn for so many days (30? i dunno). so if you are even a guest at a hindu wedding ceremony it's not appropriate to wear black, once my roomie wore navy blue and someone still got on her case.
i think this is the same thing that desi women freakedout about when it came to white bridals bc of the white widow connection. i think to each their own and the black and white bridal outfits look great. i remember in the bridal pictures there was a stunning black and reddish orange outfit. if it works then why not.

I think the issue had more to do with the bride wearing black, not her guests. Wedding guests wear black all the time, and no one ever gives a fig (IME). Black clothing is considered a stylish choice for guests, but a bizarre one for the bride.
If I preferred it, I'd wear black to my wedding; the guests wouldn't consider the color inauspicious, so much as 'fug'.
Re: Why is Black…
It’s a shame some people are so allergic to black - it could look so good on a bridal:
OOOOH! WOW!!! Absoluteul, utterly and completely amazing!!!
Tooo bad i’m already married, i would have definately chosen this if i was getting married nowadays…(although i liked mine too)
