Guju brides
What color did you wear to your mehndi night? Your mandhvo?
Did you wear green to your mehndhi night and red/green to your mandhvo like many people do or used to? They're not necessary colors but some stick to those traditions.

Re: Guju brides
I'm wearing red/green for mehndi night, which was what my FFILs suggested when we were shopping. I tried on some less traditional colors, but they strongly preferred the red/green pairing, so I went with that.
We're not doing mandhvo, but we do have a puja the day after the wedding, for which I will either wear a red or green sari. (Side note: does anyone know what this puja is called? FI's family is Jain, if that helps. For this puja, a number of women - 13, I think, including the bride - must fast until it is over.)
For my mendhi, I wore a simple chudidar which was hot pink and blue since it was a low key event at my parents house.
I went to a guju wedding last year.
I don't know the name of the ceremony but there was a puja with the bride and parents and the bride wore royal blue.
After the puja her mom's brothers brought stuff for the family.
For the actual wedding ceremony the bride wore a red and gold lengha
For her reception she wore a white wedding dress.
Not sure if that is so helpful but just what I've experienced
[QUOTE]@True - do you mean the ceremony itself or all the different events that can lead up to the wedding?
