black or white...

i figured out why im so drawn to weddings. first and foremost, its a celebration of love and commitment. and im a die-hard romantic at heart. and also, it sneaks in a little bit of extraordinary in daily life. its the one chance in your life you get to wear a tiara, fake eyelashes and furry stoles. and i mean not just the wedding couple! the guests get to share a little bit of limelight too! that being said, a tiara-donning wedding guest might get a few weird looks...

here are some wedding worthy looks i've been lusting after.

(and you can so tell the sources of my pictures, no?)

and before i get shot down by etiquette police, i am totally aware that black and white is a huge no-no in chinese/indian weddings! so we're hoping to get into town early enough to buy us sari & dhoti on wedding morning. if not, might be working one of my exisiting evening dresses.

i'd love to hear, darlings! what do you wear to weddings?

  1. cheongsams!
    and safe colour dresses (ie no white no black no red- you wouldnt wanna be mistaken as the bride do you what with white and red, avoid black so that you wouldnt be tsked at). usually pastel colors are generally suitable for attending weddings. juz nothing too short or revealing though!

  2. i would wear...
    not the same thing again in the same crowd.
    since it is a wedding in India, you must be bling! very bling! they really dress up in silk, chiffon, jewels and flowers and lots of gold.
    i would focus more on the jewellery if i am wearing a dress with clean lines. or a dress with details and chunky earrings?
