Re: Your Wedding Lehnga - Where Is It Now?

Mine was very heavy red lehnga. I gave that plus some other kaam walay kapray to a girl in Pakistan. She worked for hubby's family. She was so happy that she still asks that when we will be visiting. I wouldn't have been able to use it again any way. I wore cream and gold pushwaz(sp) on valima and will be able to wear it again, so kept it. I am in love with it and won't be giving it away.

Do not put them away in the storage, you can try them on someone else in the family and take some pics & see how everyone looks in them, for sure they willl all look different.

Some people try to keep them either they wear them on some weddings or altered them into a dailywear out fit so they can make use of it and not go waste.

Re: Your Wedding Lehnga - Where Is It Now?

you know what..i was thinking about that too the other day. but as much as i would love to, i don’t think i will, nor will my cousin-sisters will let me. but there isn’t any harm in still wearing it :smiley:

I also have my khala’s wedding lehnga. she got married back in the 60’s, so it’s real plain and simple. and blue :smiley: it’s got a kameez with that pattern that’s part of the kapra (i don’tknow what that particular kapra is called :bummer:) and the lehnga part is real simple. i actually wore it on my brother’s birthday :cb: when i told my other khalas and cousins that i have it they all simpered and laughed and giggled and made fun, but ehen…i don’t care. it’s cute. i’m going to try to wear it again somewhere out of the house :clown:

my cousin has twin girls, and she has two wedding lehnga. you do the math :faizy:

Re: Your Wedding Lehnga - Where Is It Now?

Oh my god, personally i would never give my wedding lehnga to a charity shop. There are just too many memories attached to it. It holds a lot of value for me plus it cost me a lot of pounds!!!
I have a friends wedding coming up soon so i was thinking i'll get it altered into a fish tail/skirt type of thingi and wear it to her wedding. Its a beautiful baby pink colour so it wont outshine the bride or anything(she's wearing red) and i'll have a brand new outfit!If that plan doesnt work then i'll hopefully pass it on to my daughter..if she will have it!

Re: Your Wedding Lehnga - Where Is It Now?

not like… LOVE lehngas. and ghararas. my aim on shaadi…to have em both :clown:

it’s ironic though…i hate skirts. can’t walk in them

Re: Your Wedding Lehnga - Where Is It Now?

Mine is folded in a drawer in my old bedroom in my parents’ house. I’ll most likely wear it again for a close relative’s or friend’s wedding. The top is green and the gharara is red and the kaam is relatively light for a bridal jora, so I can easily wear it. It does not look much like what I had dreamt – my MIL designed it – but I really love it.

I don’t know where my mother’s shadi gharara is — however when I was like 20 I brought her magenta/pink valima gharara back from Pakistan with plans to make a new shirt and dupatta for it. When I came home from college one trip I found that ammi had turned it into a chawki cover!!! I was so upset.
AMMI: “But you never liked to wear pink.”
ME: “What are you talking about? You mean when I was 12? Why would I have brought this back if I didn’t want to wear it? To accent our furniture???”

WHY DID SHE DO THAT? It still upsets me – 7 years later.:aj:
