So are you? My mother is bent on the idea of me wearing red/pink on the wedding day. She will not agree to anything else lol. I mean the red dresses are BEAUTIFUL but I just never really saw myself in red. I know its tradition but I just wanna wear something.... different- for lack of a better word.

What about you? Ooooooooooo and if you can post pics!!!

Sounds like you "are" getting married since you mentioned your mini tantrum as well, so a huge congrats!!!

On the topic however, I wore a red/pink/gold combo for the main day, sea-green on the nikah and tea-pink on the walima. Going for other colours is totally fine, so many brides are doing it, but similarly there is nothing wrong with red, and it doesn’t make us hindu's if we do. After all, red isn't mentioned in their Veda's neither is a particular colour mentioned for us in our books. People need to take is easy and just enjoy their day

But bear in mind, as you know we gotta wear gold jewellery, finding the proper colour and work on clothes that go well with gold is a task alone. I know the whole matching stones in jewellery makes a difference but the gold itself can either be bright gold or rustic. A bride I saw once wore a red lehnga with diamante work, which looked very pretty and sparkly but her jewellery looked totally odd! She would have looked better wearing silver with it! So whatever colour you choose, make sure the work on it goes with the colour of gold you’re opting for.

No, I don't think I'd wear read. =/ I just don't relate to it, it isn't part of the culture I grew up in, it isn't what I grew up seeing. Neither wearing red nor wearing lehngas and punjabi kaali as a bride.

Exactly what I would have said. Though, I'll admit, I wouldn't mind wearing lengha's and sarhi's to other people's occasions. I actually really like those outfits. But, it's not a bridal tradition in my family.

I had a very low key wedding and wasn't wearing red nor a lengha/sari.

red is not our tradtional colour for wedding, unless you are pakistani

pink look nice in engagment party not in wedding day
so go for white, lengha if she wants u to wear white lengha

[sgulab]

she totally freaked when I said white lol. Nah I want some really bold colors like these. Just the colors not the design.

A bride's clothing isn't limited to unique design and colour. More than that, there is a lot of symbolism within each cultural selection. They need to be soft and subtle, but not too simple. Bright colours work well on other bridal occasions, just not the wedding day. Make the most of it with your engagement and henna night.

I really like the pair Sheenkay posted, not necessarily for a bridal. It's beautiful.
