A little help needed!



Hey guys! I have just found out that I have been invited to an Indian wedding last minute and it is this Sunday! I am now panicking on what to wear (obviously I have to buy something new) so I could do with some suggestions. We are going to the wedding all day, so I need something comfortable! I have never been to an Indian wedding before and I can't say I have any traditional clothing lying around so I want to wear something respectful and cover my legs and shoulders. The problem I have found is if you wear a maxi dress they don't cover your arms and I don't want to look like a granny in a cardi or shrug haha!




So.. I was looking last night and the only thing I have found is this dress from Lavish Alice. I really like it as it's long but will still show my ankles. I also love the colour of it! It kind of covers the shoulders but I know I will still want to wear something over it anyway. I thought maybe a light blazer could look okay but this is where I need some suggestions as I am struggling to actually find something in the shops!

Also accessories I am thinking a coloured belt rather than the black one and gold accessories.. I fancy having a bit of sparkle as I know how gorgeous traditional Indian dress is for weddings.

So I am open to any suggestions on either another dress or accessories to go with this one! I have ordered this already so I can see it but I am also going shopping tomorrow as well. If you know any good websites, that aren't too expensive send them this way ladies!

  6. I'm going to an Indian wedding too on the bank hol, I'm half west indian but my uncle is marrying a proper indian. I'm not going traditional but I will be wearing a head tikka, tikkas or bindis are a good way to nod to the traditional indian dress without wearing a sari!
    Great Blog hun, I love reading your stuff!!
