Gosh...one wedding season seems to only just end, and then another one begins.  So, fashion statements for winter weddings?

There are 4 weddings that I will be attending in December, inshaAllah... and I am soooooo gonna run out of clothes again.  I'm pulling through my mom's ancient clothes, because some of the stuff is coming back in ishtyle.  
I wish I could show you guys the outfit options.  OMG maybe I should!

I was thinking I should wear the same clothes to every wedding, every event.  Talk about a fashion statement, lol.

Also...what are good, unique, awesome wedding gifts that you can give to your close friends?  

Is it good etiquette to give a gift to both bride and groom, separately/ together ... or is it okay to just give to my friends (the brides)?

Also...anyone have any hair & make-up tips.  Or any health + beauty tips to make sure I look like I haven't lost 10 lbs once I get there.  I won't ever hear the end of it...that's the worst bit.

Thanks...

Wasalaam.

I think we're way behind u guys in desi fashion by like a year i heard?, but what seems to be popular here now are pants and fancy shalwars with all the beading and zardosi design stuff.

I think if you are a friend of the bride it is OK to give just her a gift, especially if she's a close friend. I'd always go with jewelery for a close friend.

Hair and make up go with some streaks those are always cool and glitter mehndi in a simple design.  Umm you want to look like you HAVENT lost 10 lbs??! Most ppl are tryin to look like they lost 10 lbs so can't help you there :)

Have fun inshaAllah I'm going to a wedding this weekend too.. ultra desi... kinda scared

the giving presents one is a strange one... a female friend of mine gave my husband and I separate presents but he was a bit funny about it, asking why I wasn't jealous that he'd got a present from a girl? so i guess it depends on the individuals.  i personally would give something 'housey' but if it's a close friend you can't give them a set of cutlery. If I knew them both I'd want to get them both something, but I can guess what my husband would say about that!

Winter weddings are interesting ones....I've always wanted a summer wedding, but alhamdulilah i'm having one in january. so some thoughts:

**should i incorporate winter themes at all into the wedding?

**how do we keep warm???

***anything to take into consideration since the wedding will be in the winter to make things easiest for the guests?

Where do you live?  How cold will it be?

My concern is your shoes ... if you live in a snowy place.

Haha, as a sidenote, one of my cousins bought my sister a wedding gift on her wedding...it was wrapped beautifully, and he handed it to her right before the nikkah.  When she opened it up, there were some running shoes in a box and a note that side "there's still time to reconsider" ... HAHAHA.  

So would you take other shoes with you?


As for the present thing, Amelia...I really don't want to give a present to the grooms because I would feel hecka awkward doing that.  But I don't want it to look bad.  I was thinking of getting my friends the cool presents, and then getting the guys like a tie each or something.  Or like a pair of socks hahaha.

Wasalaam.
