Question

I've never attended an Indian wedding before - what should I expect?

Get ready for an unforgettable experience! Indian weddings are known for their vibrant colors, lively music, delicious food, and rich cultural traditions. Come with an open heart and get ready to eat, drink, and dance!

Question

Do I need to wear Indian clothes to any/all events?

Answer

Not at all! We want you to feel comfortable and enjoy the celebrations in attire that makes you feel your best. We'd love for you to embrace Indian attire for the Sangeet and/or the Ceremony. The reception event is more Western in style (Men generally wear Western formal while women may wear either Western or Indian formal).

Question

I'm ready to rock some desi swag! What are the must-have items for my Indian attire?

Answer

You're in for a treat! For women, a stunning saree, lehenga choli, or salwar kameez/anarkali/kurta set will be perfect. The lehenga is especially popular for the Sangeet, as its long skirt adds a fun and pretty element to your dance moves. If you opt for a saree for the ceremony, be prepared for its elegance but also the challenge of putting it on; first-timers may need some assistance (YouTube is your friend). For men, a kurta, sherwani, or jodhpur suit will be your go-to choices. These sets include a fitted top and pants, ensuring you look dashing and feel comfortable throughout the celebrations. Don't forget to accessorize! For women, jewelry like earrings, necklaces, and bangles will add the perfect finishing touch. For men, a stylish turban or dupatta may complement your outfit beautifully.
