Question

I've never been to a Indian wedding before. What should I wear?I've never been to a Indian wedding before. What should I wear?

Answer

Indian weddings are full of color, tradition, and vibrant style. We encourage you to embrace the opportunity to dress up in beautiful, traditional Indian attire, although it is not mandatory. For Women: Women typically wear colorful kurta sets. If you need help, look into outfits such as salwar, sharara, anarkali, gharara suits, etc. Look for rich colors, intricate embroidery, and beautiful fabrics. Avoid wearing plain white or black, as these colors are usually reserved for somber occasions. If you prefer a less traditional look, a long, elegant dress with Indian-inspired details can also be a lovely choice. Just make sure the dress is ankle/floor length. You must also cover your head with a chunni/dupatta (or a shawl if not going traditional). For Men: Men can wear a sherwani, a formal suit, or a kurta paired with churidar or pants. Men also cover their head, you can choose to wear a bandana/patka. If you have any questions about what to wear, please text us.
