Thread: BD dresses as wedding gowns...

A friend and I were talking about it...and it makes sense! Buy a cossie, get married then dance in it rather than letting it yellow in a bag in the closet! I wanted to send her some pics and ideas...anybody done this? I know Pharonics has some gorgeous cossies...

I like the idea, too bad I don't plan on getting married.

There is a thread around here somewhere that has a video of a dancer in one.

Better yet, belly dancer bridesmaid dresses! I remember the salmon pink good fairy Glinda dress I wore for a friend's wedding.

the first costume from oriental original. i love it so much but too expensive ,f::

Not a wedding dress, but I wore a leopard print Saidi dress to prom.

Wouldn't the bridesmaids have to wear UBDC? Then it would be perfect!

A friend got married last month in a dress designed and made by Eman Zaki...needless to say..she looked stunning. The pics are on Facebook so I'l dig out a lnk.Content Not Found | Facebook

here she is with Bhuzzer Candi and her shamadan.

Found some! LOL!

Oooh, Kadife, your friend's dress is lovely and classy. I had to click through all the photos--looked like an awesome party!

I'd have to say that if you want to do this, go for the dresses.

What a great idea. I think i'll do something like that. I know my family will be mortified however.

I am planning a ME wedding as we speak.

My mother is still cringing at the thought of me not wearing white. But, she said that it is my wedding to do what I want.

My dress will be a dress though, but something I can wear to dance in, in the future.

Tanya LV had an AMAZING Gold /nude/cream Bella that I wold totally get married in- that is if I were to need to get married again :)

mmmmm I think I prefer my friend's Eman(which is very proper) I rather think the second bride , in particularmight look back at her photos in the future and think.."Why oh why...)Beautiful girls but mmmmmm
I married 40 years ago (yup a long sentence) and most of my friends wore fashionable mini dresses. I didn't ....went long white velvet , rather Edwardian in look and don't worry about getting the album out to show people the old black and white photos . But him indoors wore a (very dark) red "Beatle-style" suit.

In particular she will look at her mother and wonder why she wore her bra on the outside of her dress.

I agree that your friend looks lovely.
I like that she has covered up her tummy, I think it looks a bit tacky getting married in a two-piece, dresses are much more classy.

I'm having mine made by a friend to look like hers but different color (likely off-white)

Very nice!

I am in the works of someone helping me with mine too. Still working on the color!

So is it wrong to get married just for the dress and party?

there were some dresses on ebay a while ago that were belly dance bridal costume/dresses. I'll try to see if i can find pics. They were all full of lace and beads and white.....stuff....pretty though. Definitely cheaper than spending $4000 on a dress you will wear once and will go on to sit in the back of your closet taking up space.

My mother also suggested i wear a belly dance dress for my high school prom and i was going to until i found my dream dress two weeks before prom.

No! lmao! I have been with my SO for 14 years. Never had the money to get married. I mean my mother raised me by herself and I was not going to put this burden on her. After thinking it through, I wanted to have a fun party! I am not the wearing "white" type of girl, so I was reading this thread, and it inspired me to do exactly what I wanted.

I have no intention of ever getting married but I always like to tell my mom that if I ever do, it will be the biggest joke wedding ever. Only really cheesy wedding songs played, instead of "colors" I will have fabrics like faux fur and sequence, and all of the food will be of the appetizer variety because I love food in miniature! My little sister already got married and did the whole white dress traditional ceremony thing so I am off the hook. I thought that instead of telling the bridesmaids what to wear, I would give them more of a challenge like it has to be this material and you can only use fabric glue to hold it together and see what they come up with!..l;,

Hey you know as long as you have fun!

I am having cupcakes!!! ..g.:

Glitter confetti!!!

My belly dancer might just come out of a cake (still pending)!!! ..l;,

this is the wedding costume series on ebay.

I love this one.

Believe it or not, but in Tunisia it's appropriate for a bride to show her a little belly sink! .w.:

Actually, it's made of a 2 pieces set call "blouza" for the top and "fouta" for the skirt.






And this one is for you bdaddiction... color is also permited for 2nd weadding:



Enjoy!

Qamar

That red and ivory one is DELICIOUS! ..g.:

Once in Cairo I bought a beautiful beaded long dress because I liked the color. It doesn't have hanging fringe which I liked but knew I wanted to wear it for a special occasion, and not to dance in. After sitting in my closet for 3 years I finally got my chance to wear it, at my son's wedding! His wife's mother also went out and bought a nice beaded dress to wear. So it worked out well.
