[Ayesha_Hanif]

[cat eyes]

why don't you ask your fiance what he would like.........:muddlehea

[GuestFellow]

Ah wear anything that adheres to the Islamic dress code! =/

[cat eyes]

leave the culture traditions wearing stupid bright clothes and heavy make up and leave that for the honeymoon. remember your making vows on the holy Qur'an so you should be strictly covered from head to toe.

^ Some wedding events are slightly comical...it becomes some sort of a competition, who can wear the most expensive and fashionable clothes! ;D

:sl: Ayesha_Hanif,

Oh really, you are getting married, Alhumdulilah!

In our cultures, husband buy wedding clothes, jewelry for wife, wife buy new wedding clothes, shoes for husband.

It is like exchange in between family to family. I think, it is same applied to Middle East wedding too.

Yeah, red is traditonal and I think, it is beautiful. Are you going to wear something different black or white or orange or blue? what else? Lol.

[GuestFellow]

I never seen a bride wearing black O_O

[jannat]

salam,
wear what you like huney, i know red is a traditional colour, but ive noticed Maroon and Gold is also a favourite to wear. Good luck with it hun,May Allah swt bless your marriage InshAllah :)

[khadija20]

i think you should wear a red dress but it should not be to flashy as to not attract the opposite sex on the big day :)

[Cabdullahi]

just wear the shaliwar kameez and to diffuse the attraction of the opposite gender have it bogey green......have your nikah, get the job done thats it

[Snowflake]

assalamu alaykum - I hope you find a colour you like but I'm more concerned that in pakistani culture the bride is usually dressed to the nines and sat on the stage where all non-mahrams can see her and the camera man films her like a rare specie on a wildlife program. InshaAllah hope that won't be something you are expected to go through.

[Salahudeen]

yes and don't forget "asian bride must never look happy, asian bride must always look sad and always look at the ground" lool ;D

[Snowflake]

^LOL for real! If she looks happy everyone thinks she's got no shame. But if she looks sad, doesn't the groom wonder if it's because she's going to marry him?

Hamdulillah attitudes are changing though :)

[Salahudeen]

^ ahem on my wedding we shall break the trend, my wife to be is inshallah going to be looking around smiling shouting "where's ma gals at, ???" ;D lol and stuffing her face hehe.

at our weddings its common that at the end, the men and women come into 1 hall to admire the new happy couple, if that happens in my wedding I'm jus gonna pick her up and walk out ;D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

yep! i use to worry about those girls a lot when i was younger and didnt know anything. that sad look is just deceiving!!!

[جوري]

I thought people wear white to represent purity and virginity?
but I just googled Pakistani bride and they are all so beautiful in red...

[Humbler_359]

:sl:

Lol. Or maybe girl didn't want to get married with a sad look at last minute, :'(

[cat eyes]

i was watching a pakistani wedding recently bride was beautiful but dressed up a bit to overly attractive to be an islamic wedding but every girl wants to feel like a princess on the big day but its important we know the limits

[khadija20]

yea pakistani brides are beautiful alrite and did you notice they never smile either lol

[cat eyes]

yea pakistani brides are beautiful alrite and did you notice they never smile either lol

LOL bah. You're too shy. It'll probably be the other way round. Rofl! ;D

Tbh, it is a very emotional time. Unlike in most nonmuslim cultures where the kids fly the nest way before they get married, muslim girls only leave home at the time of marriage. And just like they say your life flashes before your eyes before you're gonna die, similarly when you're about to leave your parents' house, every part of your life with them rushes past you and you know it's gone forever. It reminds me of a baby's birth when it cries after coming out of the safety and security of it's mother's womb into a new world. Lol, I'm getting teary. :X

You are probably talking about that marriage i seen on youtube? She had piercing blue eyes but she had taken it off some relative must have uploaded da vid without permission

[Muhaba]

I was wondering the same thing, what to wear on wedding day? Traditional red or white or some other color. My mother says i look good in pink, but i've never seen brides wearing pink. Two of my friends did wear it but it was their engagement party and not wedding.

Also whether to wear shalwar kameez or langa (aka sharara?) or wedding gown?

Arabs wear white wedding gowns, is that an arab culture or did they copy from West? Western brides wear white or ivory wedding gowns. Pakistanis wear either red shalwar kameez or red langa, i think. I prefer langas to shalwar kameez but in the past wanted to wear ivory wedding gown, however don't know if that color suits me.

:D :D :D

@topic: Congrats sis, wear whatever you like :)

[Lonely Gal]

i think the colours should be near to red, I have seen some girls wear different colours, and as much as they good in them, it jus doesn't have that nice wedding bride feelin to it.
I wore bright red, and so did most of my frends.

[Muhaba]

Red just isn't my color. I think i'll go for something golden with golden sequins. What you all think?

i dont know it could be the same vid but this dvd was given lone to me off someone 2 watch because i knew the groomz friend.

[Snowflake]

Oh btw, the shaytaan loves red. :hiding:

It's true, I will bring evidence inshaAllah.

[S_87]
