(i asked this question once before, but i deleted it so that i could rewrite it)my cousin will be marrriyng in april 2008. i was wondering if sari would be proper attire being that the ceremony is not until later in the day. i am not of indian descent,so i really wanted some opinions on this because i dont want to offend anyone.

I think it would look beautiful but one thing to consider... if you aren't used to wearing a sari, this might not be the best time for you to try one out. At a wedding reception, there tends to be a lot of dancing. The traditional way that sari's are draped with a large length over the shoulder/arm. If you are dancing, will you be used to this? Will it get in the way? You might want to pin it at the shoulder so it doesn't keep falling down when you move. You might want to investigate different draping techniques to see which will be most comfortable for you.

I don't think you should since you'll be the only one and you'll be pulling attention away from the bride since a sari is so uncommon in the US.

First and fore most, congratulate your cousin on my behalf. And wish her all the best.Now for your problem, i dont see any thing wrong in wearing a sariand as someone said just make sure ur not the odd one out. The choice is urs. And make sure to be comfortable in anything you wear. Or else, it may lead to complications like falling down and stuff. Ok Take it easy and follow your comfort, fashion and common sense

Yes you can. Were you married in it yourself? I married a couple and She was from India and Pakistan via the UK so it was a very multicultural affair. But what I remember most vividly was all the beautiful sari's and then I found out that most of the guests were wearing the outfits they themselves were married in. So every wedding they went to was a reaffirmation of their own vows and a kind of "Welcome to the club""We're here to love you and support you as married people ourselves"

Yes! Sari's are beautiful. check with her first but then go for it. wish I had the guts to wear one all the time, I'm getting married in June- someone could wear a sari to mine if they like.
