I am American with no Indian blood in my family. However, I have always loved Indian culture, music, art, and food. I am spiritually a mix of Hindu and Buddhism. I was wondering if it was offensive to Indian culture if my bridesmaids and I wear Sari's to my wedding?


Answer
I'm half indian, half pakistani. It is such a compliment for you to honor our culture. You could have an Indian themed wedding, and wear a white bridal Sari. Matter in fact, there are indian designers that make very modern draped sarees that look like american dresses. They even drape the sari in a way that it looks grecian. These indian designers are huge businesses, and even have shows at Paris Fashion Show such as Sana Safinaz, Figura, and some UK indian designers have their own thick magazine. Some magazine names are Femina, Asiana Bride, BiBi, Sapna. You can buy these magazines from Ebay or Amazon. I have seen Asian Bride in Barnes and Noble. I found links:

I dont think its a faux pas or offensive at all. I bought an american wedding gown from allure couture and it costed me a $1400, but I flipped through an indian magazine, there is a designer in New York that had a similar indian dress for $900. My cousin is marrying an american white guy, and she is wearing a white sari.

Here is a link to all the bollywood stars wearing saris:

Also, dont forget to do the henna design.

Where can I find Audrey Hart wedding gowns in PA?

I'm looking for a specific Audrey Hart wedding gown-- style 9927-- and I cannot find it anywhere. The designer's website is unavailable, and I cannot locate any stores in PA that may carry the Hart collection. Any idea how I can find it?


Answer
Have you considered driving to Klienfeld or whatever it is called in New York? It is on the show Say Yes To The Dress. They are supposed to have one of the largest bridal gown shops in the world!
