Semi-formal or Indian attire. Men: No ties - It's hot in New York. No black. Women: No black. Dress modestly for the temple. If you are wearing a dress, it should not be strapless, but sleeveless is fine. Nothing too tight. Dresses should be knee-length or longer. Reach out to Bianca if you have any questions. Please be aware that shoes must be taken off at the temple. If you want, you may bring socks to wear at the temple.
There is no need to buy Indian clothes for the wedding, but if you are interested, here are some good websites. For men, we recommend a kurta set. A jacket/vest is optional. Here are some links with options: https://www.kalkifashion.com/mens.html https://www.azafashions.com/collection/men/kurta-sets https://www.lashkaraa.com/collections/mens-ethnic-wear For women, we recommend a lehenga or a salwar kameez. You could also wear a saree, but it may be difficult for you to wrap it yourself and it won't be as comfortable as the other two options.

No black.
