The Pink Sari

So my second Hindu wedding happened this summer and hopefully not my last. Hindu weddings are so much fun! Yes they consist of a lot of events, but each event is so different. There's so much structure to each event and it's constantly all an entertaining show. It almost feels like I'm watching a Bollywood movie. What I admire the most is how happy everyone is for the bride and groom. The parents are dancing and rejoicing, everyone is celebrating and cracking jokes. It was an awesome vibe to be a part of. I wish this attribute was something more of our weddings had. Happiness, our weddings can be quite boring to be frank. It's very sad and serious, the guests are more interested in the food than the bride and groom, and the most dreadful characteristic of all, everyone is competing against each other. Who had better wedding decor? Who was the designer of the bride's outfit? Where is the food catered from? Seriously, these little details of weddings shouldn't be what majority is concerned about, it should be focused on celebrating the partnership of two people that you love.

Top: I got this beautiful beige golden lace blouse made in Pakistan. I've got a few of these made in different colors so that they can match with any sari pretty well. I highly suggest you do the same on your next trip!

Sari: I love this peachy pink French chiffon. It was worth all the fabric and definitely getting it pleated before-hand to make it fairly easy to wear a sari. I still struggle with the sari quite often, but slowly I'm improving. Practice makes perfect. Peach colors are beautiful for spring and summer. I decided to wear this lovely color as one of my goodbyes to summer wear.
