Indian wedding

[VenusClapTrap]

I’ve been invited to the evening do of an Indian wedding. Super excited. The venue is a very classy hotel, and it’s in April. I’m looking for advice on what to wear! I asked Dh to ask what the dress code is (the groom is his friend; I’ve only met him once and have never met the bride), and the response was ‘glam’. A quick google has informed me to avoid black, white and red, and that bright colours are preferable.

Any other tips? I don’t have anything appropriate in my wardrobe as I usually wear muted colours, and I don’t generally go to glamorous functions these days. I’ve got a fabulous bright green ball dress, but suspect that would be overkill...

I don’t really know where to start.

The green ballgown sounds perfect, you definitely won't be overdressed. I'd probably try to go for floor length and reasonably modest if you want to buy something new. You'll have a blast, Asian weddings are amazing!

Floor length, really? Gosh. That level of glam. Maybe I can wear my ball dress then! It’s Amanda Wakeley and has only been worn once. I’d love to give it another outing.

But it feels a bit too much for a wedding!

Pic please?

Everyone will be very glamorous

Ok here it is

I think that dress would be perfect! (I asked Indian DIL)

That's a beautiful dress. Perfect for an Indian wedding. Have fun

Brilliant! Thank you.

That dress couldn't be any more perfect!
(Ive been to a few Indian weddings as my dp is Indian)
I am so jealous of your amazing figure too!

(You will be very under-blinged compared to the other guests though...so never worry about being over-dressed .... there is no such thing at an Indian wedding)
But you will have a blast, they are usually great fun, especially in the evening when the dancing starts.

That dress is perfect.

It's perfect, I have an Indian DIL too, its a fabulous colour and will fit in perfectly. Have a great time

Thank you everyone! There will be some dieting required to get back in it! It is a remarkably flattering dress though. I am very short and this dress is very lengthening.

I am Indian, that dress is perfect and you will blend in beautifully

That dress is gorgeous. It's perfect for the wedding, feel free to dress it up even more. Have a great night.

Thank you! I’ve got some very high gold sandals that I wore with it last time, and I think I’ll keep my eye out for a gold clutch.

Yes. 100% that dress

I've been to Indian weddings. That dress would be perfect!

Indian weddings are extremely glamourous, women's clothing wise. You can never be over dressed for them, especially if you are wearing European clothing.

Hi I'm Indian. Yep that dress would be great!! You can add some fun bangles aswel if you really wanted to be on theme.

Wow that’s gorgeous! Agree - perfect for an Indian wedding.

Just another one to say dress looks lovely and perfect for an Indian wedding I'm a hotel- I'd maybe add gold bangles too. Have fun!

In a hotel. Obviously I'm not a hotel

That dress is perfect! They tend to be v glam.

Just want to say, that dress is gorgeous! I've only been to one Indian wedding and was taken aback at how glitzy it was. Great fun though!

Perfect! With bangles!
