Deena say:
Often times, when a women wears hijab, she chooses to have a segregated wedding (men and women in different halls) in order to have the freedom to wear what ever dress she wishes.
Yet when a wedding is not segregated, Arab hijabi brides generally wear a white wedding dress with a matching head veil. But truthfully, I never really liked the look.
I always felt that being fully covered in white makes the bride look ghostly or like an egg. I was determined to find another solution. I therefore decided on a champagne colored dress instead of white.

''A piece of advice I would give other brides is to try to be original and incorporate some of their own touches to their wedding''

ReplyDeleteSippingchai, Sakina : SHE SAY: One day, i stumbled into a jewelry artist’s kiosque where she displayed a variety of hand made necklaces made of malleable wire and crystals. It then hit me; perhaps I could design a headpiece made of the same materials as her jewelry. Since my dress was champagne, I decided on a light golden wire, with orange, orange-red, champagne and colorless Swarovski crystals. Since this was the jeweler’s first headpiece design, it truly was a joint effort. My vision was to have vines surrounding my head holding flowers of different colors and sizes. I did not want the piece to be glued to my head, therefore, I asked that she incorporate some volume by lifting the wines and cascade them towards the right. The wines were positioned and tied together on a bed of golden loops, and the entire piece was lined with champagne colored organza.
Oh WOW mashAllah love the dress,headpiece and whole concept! Im new to your blog, are you a photographer? Photos are very sweet!
