isn't it.. i want it

rimsh: black saris with silver work is pretty standard and it shouldnt be hard to find at any shop that sells a large variety of fancy saris. i got mine from jackson heights in new york. its not heavily embellished but just right for someone else's wedding.

^ oh i thought you ordered it online. yeah i know its pretty standard, i am going shopping tomorrow but i've seen some really nice ones online so was just wondering if anyone has bought 'em online

Black's my favorite color and I hate that I can't wear it to most functions. It's such as awesome shade of color for shararas, salwars and basically any kind of clothing.

I got a balck sari and it has a tea pink and turqoise color embroidery and tea pink blouse, since these shades are really in these days i got it from pak when i went 6 months back. Its really beautiful i wish i could post the pictures.

You will be fine. I've worn a black saree with silver work on it as well to a wedding.

I dunno i never heard of NOT wearing black to a wedding.. for your own wedding yes, but someone else's naah.. weddings are a colourful event.. thats why noone wears black, coz it just seems so boring.. but whatever u like

Shweet, i have some really nice jewelry that'll go with the saari

banarsi saris are so beautiful but i've personally never seen one with black in it.....aawww but i'm just picturing how pretty it must be. Post a pic immediately please!

I like the colours and work on the first outfit, but I dont like saris for some reason; think they dont suit paki culture and tastes. Also people might mistake you for someone from calcutta(black hole on earth)

nice colours anyhow

shweetdreamz · Jun 16th, 2006, 08:32 AM

mehnaz: did u wear it to a close relative's wedding? do u think saris look out of place for the wedding of my dad's cousin's daughter?

Reminder, be nice to sara516 until the weddings are over

amelie: i love banarsi saris in black and gold! its classic.

Mehnaz · Jun 16th, 2006, 08:34 AM

I wore it to a friend's wedding. We were not super close ... but hey, there were other girls there in their wedding outfits (like five other girls in their dhulan outfits since they were new brides) so I didn't feel odd at all.

At my sister's wedding, a girl wore a black saree too. Everybody liked it. She looked quite elegant.
