Thread: Indian Wedding

Hmm..

Appropiate Gifts-

Gold jewelry, but that is usually given by the bride's parents, so Idk but people do it anyways(:.. Some people give really nice sarees to the bride. "jcullum" has given the best answer. Usually you give money to the couple at their wedding, so that too. Therefore, jewelery..I mean I would. Or things they needs for the house. Or a cool elephant sculpture...Hehe, I would get a penguin ^^.

Clothing, etc..

you will not be expected to wear traditional Indian clothing, in case you were worried about that. (: But it's loads of fun, and can look extremely charming if you decide to do so.

- In general, avoid pure black or pure white. White is worn at funerals, and black signifies mourning. Weddings are festive events, and bright colors are always best. Ha. Red is not mandatory for the guests, but traditionally the bride is dressed in red.
I'm not sure if this applies everywhere, but sometimes, the girls attending the mehndi wear yellow.

* Gold bangles are cool. You can also have a bracelet and watch too.
* Though red is traditionally bride's colour, it does not stop you from wearing one. Infact, the traditional groom's colour is white and all the males wear white (particularly in Kerala)


Ermm.. Seriously, have you tried Wiki?

Hindu wedding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OH && don't they have an elephant you ride on because the bride can never touch the ground?

Hmmm... An Indian wedding. I suggest you to wear a dress, wear some sort of head wrap, Gold jewelry *earrings, necklaces and etc. Avoid black, and white. Try to wear something that's like orange and red. And try to look pretty. xD

Ha, that's basically what I said. (:.
Do you have a specific date for the wedding?

My friend Supreeta is getting married in a few weeks and she wants me to wedding plan. I have done some research but I am still lost. Anyone know what i should do? The color scheme is red and gold, and the guest list is over 500. Thats all she really gave me. Anyone know how to do a proper Indian wedding without having me look retarded?

Here is a few sites I found that may help...
Indian Wedding Site – Indian Wedding Vendors, Clothes, Invitations, and Pictures.
Wedding Sutra.com :: Tips on Planning Indian Weddings.
... and I know someone who knows someone etc, etc... but first I have to know what your friends religion is? What type of ceremony are they having? It could make a huge difference.

Thanks you guys!!!1 You all really do help a lot!
Im going to take these into consideration.

(btw- my sari is red!!!! ^_^)

Indian wedding? like what kind a Indian? Native American, or Indian for India??? I'm confussed.

Oh and the Indian wedding? I'm Indian, but I don't know about much weddings, why? lol because no one does Indian weddings where I'm from. I hardly see anyone get that kind a thing, I know some people got like regular weddings. but a Indian one? thats a toughy, well good luck with it though.
