Muslim wedding!
15 Answers
Hi again all!
Didn't know where to post this - Sorry!
My partner and I have been invited to a muslim wedding next week, quite a posh one too - only problem is I have no idea what I should wear or anything?
Just wondering if any one can shed some light as I really need to get shopping!
Many thanks

For non-Muslim guests, the Islamic dress code does not apply in the same way that it applies to Muslim adherents. However, as a matter of courtesy and deference to the social/cultural norms of the hosts, the guests might be well advised to avoid exposing their arms and legs in a fashion that is normal in our modern-day western society. ...

It depends how liberal they are, my boyfriends aunt has stopped wearing her headscarf so often (she lives in Iran so it is more frowned on and I think she's been in trouble for it) but it does go to show that it's not all about covering up from head to toe with only the eyes showing! However, there are some really pretty headscarves about which could be incorporated into an outfit easily if you felt like it.
Having been married to a muslim it really does depend on how religious they are as has been already posted and also which country they come from. Islam is interpreted in different ways in different countries.
I would just make sure you aren't showing too much flesh but don't think they would expect you to cover your head. If they were that fanatic you wouldn't have been invited to the wedding.
Enjoy.

HI All,
Thank you very much for your helpful answers.
I went into town on Friday after work, and bought a full length dress which is black and gold and gorgeous!
My partner has since given in and phoned his friend, who has said it is not strict at all, and could pretty much wear what I would for a normal wedding reception!
