Ladies are warmly invited to wear formal Western attire or traditional Pakistani attire — whichever makes them feel their best. We kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing white or red.
For Women: lehenga choli, sharara, gharara, anarkali suits, formal shalwar kameez, or an elegant maxi dress with traditional embroidery or embellishment. Color Palette: Embrace the beauty of the season in soft pastels and bright summer hues — lavender, mint, peach, blush, coral, sky blue, and sunshine yellow are all perfect choices.
