So I need some advice! My ex manager is getting married and she's invited me and some of my colleagues to the night do! Now I'm indian and I haven't been to many English weddings! Just the one! Mainly because I'm 24 and well no one I know has gotten married yet lol. So how do people dress? I was thinking of being different and wearing a sari but they are quiet heavy and extravagant and I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb! So yay or nay??

I think you'll look lovely.
An interesting aside, what is the best shorthand term to use when meaning white anglo saxon as the above poster intends ~ so as not to offend anyone.
Hope you have a brilliant time
Traditional English would have worked in that context, but it really depends on what is being discussed. no universal shorthand that wouldn't sometimes be inappropriate that I can think of. Sorry.
OP your sari idea sounds lovely, just avoid white. Only the bride gets to wear white I think.
In the Indian culture, white is mostly associated with mourning, so I don't think white would be worn to such an occasion anyway.
Yes
So i would say go for it so long as you arent self conscious if people are admiring you all night!
Good point, I was think more about not upstaging the bride, but you are right it's unlikely to be a problem anyway:)
I'm sure it'll be lovely.
Oh yes please do, I would LOVE to see them, as I am sure would many others on this thread They always look so beautiful
Or why not a dressy salwar khameez or something - they can look just as stylish and lovely.
I have about 10 black sari's of various types , I love them.
