For those who asked, here are my wedding clothes (sangeet lehenga, pink reception saree and red wedding saree) hot off my parents’ smartphones in Mumbai as of 1 day ago. My parents landed at 12 am and coolly purchased my, my fiance’s and my sister’s wedding clothes in one 3 hour endorphin fueled shopping spree by 11 am. [Wedding Clothes](http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/parents-bought-my-wedding-sarees?replies=10#post-4586062) I am not the model as I am safely ensconced in the NYC area but isn’t the model stunning 🙂 ---

Those are gorgeous!! The first one especially, the dark red on ivory is stunning. And that model has a great sense of humor and sales, frankly - what must be done simply must be done! And thanks to the links at the bottom of the page I’m pretty sure the rest of my day’s productivity is shot. ---

SO JEALOUS. I’m unbelievably getting hitched in (urk) less than two weeks and I so wish I were wearing a sari! ---

Thanks guys! I had a moment of shock when I saw them pop up in my email this morning and it hit me that I’m getting married in a few months…in these clothes. Which apparently have been given a good breaking in by some dude in Bombay! Overall I’d say my parents hit it out of the park for both my and my sister’s weddings. I never thought that neither one of us would get that dress shopping experience, but c’est la vie. What matters more is that I met someone amazing, of course, the lovely outfits are just gravy. 😉 ---

Gorgeous! And the model has clearly set the style bar pretty high… ---

Hooray! I think a wedding on the first of the month has got to be good luck. Can’t wait to see some pictures - you’re gonna knock 'em dead! ---

Oh yes, I think red and gold combos are so stunning. I wonder what would happen if a Western bride wore a Western style dress that was bright red? You probably can’t even get them. I think those saris looked stunning. I am so envious. ---

Just Google “red wedding dress.” Times have changed! ---

Yeah, it’s all over Offbeat Bride - but more popular is “tea length with a pop of color” - colored sash or petticoat or whatever. ---

She’d probably be willing to make a colorful dress: I know she’s done some with a bit of color (slashed sleeves with the undercloth in blue satin, a navy-blue corset). My aunt got married in red the second time, but it was a power suit rather than a bridal. Now all I need me is a groom… mwahahaha! And those are gorgeous, but I’m reasonably sure the groom prefers you to the model (nice 'stache on him, though). ---

Congratulations! You are so lucky to be having an Indian wedding - the outfits are absolutely amazing. To me traditional Indian women’s clothing is the epitome of beauty. A friend of mine who lives here in California is from way up in the north of India, and she’s marrying a guy from Chennai . . . in Chennai. Her inlaws are shopping for all the stuff and sending pictures every day. So far she hasn’t had any pics of male shop owners doing the modeling though! I wore a red and gold salwar kameez last year for Diwali and I swear that was the best I’ve EVER looked. ---

Congratulations!!! It’d be really nice if you’d post a pic or two of the wedding to show off all the colorful outfits. If you feel like it. ---

Thank you all! And **Zsofia** , congrats and good luck with the upcoming nuptials. I’ll try to post pics from the wedding when I am back, of me wearing the outfits rather than some dude. Of course, I’m going to be in m-f-ing BHUTAN for my honeymoon so will probably not show face until well after the wedding. ---
