I know It comes in white also. I think you can get it in all white or white with the same silverish designs as the one I posted (I want the latter).

Re: Bridal Wear
What do you ladies think of "dress codes" for weddings. Someone I know is getting married soon and emailed her friends the colors and styles they could and could not wear on the wedding. For example: mehndi: You must wear a green lehnga.
Wedding: You can only wear a light pink or lilac sari.
I think that's dumb, because you can't control everyone, and there's no guarantee that someone who didn't receive the message won't come in a "forbidden" color.

if the bride wants people to be able to distinguish her friends from others then i guess thats ok. but she shud just have a set of colors she'd prefer for them to wear. i dont think she should make them wear only a sari or lengha. what if someone doesnt have one

I dunno about doing it for a wedding but for my henna party i was playing around with the idea of have 3 "theme" colors ( like black, red, gold) and "suggesting" that ladies wear either of those 3 colors. Then again I'm american and as long as it was some small ladies party I could probably get away with something like that without it causing too much ruckus.
But for a wedding thats a little over the top for muslim culture. ( hahahah Shadha that last bit was for you  )

Re: Bridal Wear
My cousins did that for her henna. You didn't have too, but most of everyone did. Looked really nice. mA.

If you're "in" the wedding, that's one thing, but every guest should not have to abide by silly dress codes. What if you don't own a green lenhga? Then what? If I don't have one and the bride isn't ordering me one, then she'll just have to deal with me wearing whatever is in my closet.

Re: Bridal Wear
For real. Desi clothes can be expensive, especially if you have to buy something over here. Also, any guest who doesn't get the memo is going to feel very uncomfortable if they are among the few not in proper dress. I think it's stupid and bridezilla-esque to tell random guests what to wear.... unless your mom owns a sari shop and you're just trying to boost her business. Then you're tacky AND stupid.

Re: Bridal Wear
I'd be tempted into organizing everyone into wearing outfits similar to the brides. Complete with teeka, gunghat and everything.

oh my god. dress codes drive me crazy. its the new trend here to have dress and color codes for everyyyy event.  i can understand general codes for things like bridal showers (formal wear) but i've gone to some in which the only thing we were allowed to wear was a black dress. if your part of the wedding its a different story. if i'm inviting to a wedding, thanks but i'm perfectly capable of picking out my own outfit
