hey

i got an awesome sari from India Sari Palace on 74th street, you have to bargain with them though..

theres another great store but its a couple of blocks away, called Pashmina, if you walk towards the theater and cross that main street, its a few stores down from the corner...
pashmina also has great jewelry in the adjoining store (both are pashmina) theyre a bit pricey, but their quality is awesome

theres another place and im forgetting the name, is right across the street from ISP which has modern saris.... all the other stores have saris but are of terrible quality... i'll let you know if i think of anything else, good luck!

those are some places that soon2bmrsg recommended...let me know how it goes b/c i need to get my wedding sari too!!

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

I was just going to suggest Karishma. I bought all of my Indian Wear (Mine, Mothers, Sisters, Cousins, FH, Dads, everyones!) they have great selection and prices.

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

i think wine will look very pretty and nice for fall...reds would be pretty too..maybe a deep red?

RGV07 Posted: Feb 17, 2007 10:39 PM

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

jlu830 Posted: Feb 17, 2007 11:45 PM

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

i know! i feel the same way...b/c when i go to weddings i always look at how the bride looks and the bms!! and they're in all the pics...and they're your friends so you want them to look hot

are you doing sarees or dresses?

RGV07 Posted: Feb 18, 2007 12:05 AM

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

doing sareees, it easier, it more indian, i didnt want to do dresses , because everyone would not look right in dresses, and i feel that sarees enhanced their curves better , i mean hide them !!!!

jlu830 Posted: Feb 20, 2007 12:00 AM

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

lol no way we flaunt those curves!!! my girls are wearing sarees too~ i wanted to do it that way so it shows both sides of who i am- indian and american

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

ohh man i hear you gibi~ desi parents tend to have way to many opinions about everything!!! (luckily my parents got that out of their system with my sister so they're more laid back now )

anyways that's SO exciting you're about to order your dress!!! do you have it picked out already? Don't worry once they see it they'll be fine!!! yay i'm excited for you
