As soon as my brother got engaged, my mom and I started thinking about all the shopping we’d get to do! We debated on going to India or not and instead decided to get all our outfits from here. I thought it’d be fun to show you all my outfit selections! It didn’t strike me to take individual pictures of myself, so instead I looked through photos taken by family and friends to find these pictures.
Pooja at home: I liked this sari because the blouse was heavy, but the actual sari was plain.
Mehendi night- I loved the color and how the outfit flowed out.
Garba- This was the sole outfit of mine that came from India. I loved that it was all different colors but still went so well together.
Wedding day- doing my sisterly duty! I think my brother is asking if my arm was hurting.
As we walked through the hotel lobby, the guests were talking pictures of us.
Reception- I was trying to make sure my plate filled with paneer tikka didn’t make the picture. I guess not!

On the way down- My brother and I doing what we call the “India pose”- no smiling, no touching.








LOVE LOVE LOVE the mendhi outfit! I think I will be getting something similar for my best friends wedding! All the outfits were lovely, but I think my favorite was definitely the last one haha
Do you have another picture of your reception outfit? It’s kind of small here but I wanna see the details!

Thanks! The mehendi one was my favorite out of the bunch too. Love the last pic too
If you click on the picture, it’ll be bigger. I couldn’t find better pics (or of my heels!) so hopefully the professional photographers got some! I’ll be sure to share if they did.
I also adore the mendhi outfit! Is your reception outfit also the same style but with brighter/richer fabrics? That Anarkali style is soooo flattering.
Thank you! Yes, the reception outfit is the same style. I really love the anarkali style also! Love how it flows out and it’s so flattering for every body type.
Haha, I’d never thought about the “India pose” before— so funny and true! I love all of these outfits, especially the detail on the top of the anarkali suit and the garba one, and you are glowing and gorgeous!
Thank you!
India pose is the one I call “Don’t touch me, don’t smile”. Ha. Made me laugh. Your sari blouse was beautiful.
Haha, exactly. I always have a hard time keeping a straight face, but this time we nailed it! And thank you.
I loved the mendhi outfit too! I do love the multicolored-ness of the garba outfit though! You look amazing in all the photos!!
Thanks so much!
