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. π 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! π
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 π 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 π
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. π
Haha, I’d never thought about the “India pose” beforeβ 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! π
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. π
I loved the mendhi outfit too! I do love the multicolored-ness of the garba outfit though! You look amazing in all the photos!! π
Thanks so much! π
