Show us what you wore on your wedding day and tell us all about it.
We invited readers to share images and videos of their bridal attire with us, along with a brief description -- where it was bought, what kind of embellishments were used to give it that unique look and why it appealed to them. Here are two more responses:
First up we have this picture of Garima Chandra, who says:
My wedding dress was designed by my mother and me.
From the beginning we did not want to go for the traditional colours and design. While deciding upon the outfit we just kept in mind its usability in the future and how to incorporate the traditional with the modern. The colour combination of red and pink did just that.
I wore a red and pink raw silk lehenga, with a pink sheer net dupatta matching it. I chose net because I wanted to show off my hairstyle and the fresh flowers in my hair.The duptta had a red border matching my choli and jaal embroidery with stones all over it.
The zardosi and dabka work with stones took around 6-8 months to complete. To compliment the lehenga there was real polki and Navratan jewellery. I wore my mother's nose ring and tikka, which coincidently matched my lehenga.
Whether it was an extensively embroidered lehenga, a crystal-encrusted gown or something in between, we want to see what you wore when you got married. And yes, we'll publish it right here!
Simply e-mail in a photograph of yourself wearing your breathtaking bridal to getahead@rediff.co.in (subject line: 'My wedding dress'), along with a brief description -- where you bought it, what kind of embellishments were used to give it that unique look and why you fell for it in the first place.
You can also upload a video of your bridal attire! Simply:
And be sure to e-mail us your video link.
And here, doting hubby Ajay Pipaliya sent in an image of himself with his blushing bride. He says:
The bridalwear is from Rajkot and is worth Rs 18,000. The groom's outfit is traditional, from Ahmedabad and worth Rs. 10,000. The combination of colour and nature in the photo is perfect, it welcomes the new green life ahead.
