Colorful Indian Brides

Thankfully India fully embraces color and has yet to embrace white. Traditionally, Indian brides wear red, but I've seen different colors worn as well.

Thankfully India fully embraces color and has yet to embrace white. Their weddings are beautiful colorful affairs where the only danger is in there being too much color. Traditionally, Indian brides wear red, but I've seen different colors worn as well. I picked this bride because she is very modestly covered and looks like she's wearing a hijab. I chose the pink wedding dress because it isn't red and because of the design. I think of all the weddings I'd want to be invited to, I'd want to be invited to an Indian, Traditional Thai, and a Moroccan wedding because of the variety and richness of the colors they use. White wedding dresses are nice and all, but color just kicks it up a thousand notches!

Romanian Wedding Festival

Romanian Wedding Festival

I chose this Romanian wedding outfit, because I think it's pretty interesting how any culture you look into you find that in their past and history, modest dressing is the way it was. I love the detailed embroidery on their vests and once again it seems white is inescapable. Every so often, some designer goes back to the past and finds something like embroidery, vests, gypsy skirts, etc and reinvents them, making sure to make them shorter, tighter and more revealing! Luckily, 2008 will be remembered in fashion as the year that Modesty became Fashionable again.

A Turkish Affair

It's back to white! While Turks do wear traditional outfits, I had a tough time finding nice ones. Even Fashionably Modest white ones were hard to find. These two dresses are hijab friendly at least. I like the length and style of the sleeve. It's long and it covers without being a hindrance. I hate those long sleeves that fall into your bowl of soup. As for the full length wedding dress, you can't go wrong with it! I mean just look at how adorable the hijab and veil are.

It's a Thai Wedding

It seems white really is a universal choice when it comes to weddings. When i think of Thai weddings, I think of golds, reds and really rich and luxurious colors, so i was quite surprised to find lots of white. And what I found really interesting was how in general the male outfit is a lot more modest than the female one.

I chose this picture because the couple is interracial and I believe that those weddings are the best because they do their part in decreasing racism, and increasing unity and harmony in the world. They celebrate the beauty in both their cultures and show that our similarities outweigh our differences.

An African Outfit

There are many countries in Africa, and as my friend Gina loves to say, Africa is a Continent! Because of that, I can't do justice to the myriad of African wedding dresses there are out there. This is just one type of outfit out of hundreds if not thousands. It's called a "Buba" and is worn predominantly in Nigeria by Yoruba women, although all Nigerian women wear it as well as women in other African Countries. Traditionally African brides wear really colorful clothes, but some do wear white. Here is a Buba in two colors. Would you wear this to a wedding? Out? To someone else's wedding?

A Maghrebi Dress Fit For a Bride

So the wedding is over, the guests have left, and we've cleaned and cleaned till we can't clean anymore. The house is starting to look like normal again, and we're starting to breath again. The groom is ready to fall down from exhaustion and is just worthy of pity. Hopefully when they get back from their honeymoon his batteries will be recharged.

I'll have pictures from the wedding, but before I shake off this exhaustion and look through the many pictures, I'll keep posting other weddings, brides, grooms, dresses, etc from around the world, so enjoy!

Here's a lovely Moroccan dress that's fit for a bride. It's regal, flowing and very colorful. It covers beautifully without looking stodgy. I just wouldn't recommend it for a June bride because the amount of fabric would certainly make you sweat a lot, but for a December wedding, I'd say this is perfect!
