Not white (only for the bride) or black (only for funerals). Although I've
been to weddings where both rules have been flouted, Miss Manners wouldn't
approve. Also, if you get a matching dress, coat, hat, shoes and gloves
everyone will think you're the mother of the bride.
Why not a sari, if you find them comfortable and they're what you'd usually
wear to a wedding? If I were invited to a Pakistani wedding I'd wear my
usual Western-style dressy trouser suit rather than salwaar kameez.
