what do I wear to a muslim wedding?

i don't know if you were jilbab but you can get some really stylish wedding jilbabs from anywhere i always where it to weddings here are a few pictures with ideas.

This is an Arab wedding so totally different so a Pakistani wedding, for example.

As it is segregated you will see the women removing their hijab and getting really dressed up. Arabs tend to get very glitzy and bling at weddings and the only thing that would make you stand out is if you were wearing plain, subdued (tasteful?) clothes which might make people think you are a bit strange.

I would not however wear a skirt above your knee as even between women this is considered a bit too short. However you might go and find that loads are wearing mini skirts - it depends how religious the family/friends are.

Wedding Jilbabs

my friends are Arab and at their weddings, they wear American-style dresses. the bride wears white and everything. from the pictures i've seen from their weddings, this is at weddings here in America and back home in their countries.

since its seperated, you can wear a regular dress that you would wear to a wedding here and im sure you will not offend anyone.

if you want to be on the super safe side, buy an elegant gown that goes till your ankles. i wouldn't wear anything above my knees.

i would also keep a shawl/wrap IN CASE their family is conservative. but you should be fine wearing a strapless dress.

wear comfortable shoes because they party hard/dance alot! and have fun!!

Anything really.

Since you will be segragated from men you can wear anyhting you want. I have been to Muslim weddings and it's true anything goes. I have never seen so much cleavage, back, thigh, and leg in new york! Seriously. Women tend to dress in short, skin tight dresses with LOTS of eye make-up.

So if you wear something revealing you shouldn't feel out of place to much.

Clothes

heyy congratz !! nicely with muslims lyk incredibly lots something of the international a white wedding ceremony gown is the norm. and as for the hijab what we frequently do is that if the mosque or corridor ur gona be in is separated (adult adult males/women people) than you wont could placed on a headband and you are able to placed on as lots makeup as u pick n do ur hair i advise 4 me as a woman thats what i could pick on my wedding ceremony day. on an analogous time as shifting into or going out of the mosque you are able to placed on somin lyk purple driving hood's component which is likewise provided in white its vey incredibly makes u look lyk a princess :) howeve if its going to be blended than get a gown thats no longer 2 fascinating finding lol u no wot i advise no longer 2 revealing n placed on somin under it soit dont tutor ur skin,jus an effortless one and jus placed on a incredibly headband wid it n_n

I'd just go with neutral tones, with a nice, conservative dress. Good luck!

You might want to wear something that doesn't show a lot of skin .. even though some people in Jordan are moderanized and wear American and European clothing but you should wear something like umm this:

Peace.

I believe long skirts are great, you're covered up without the restrictions of shorts.
