Traditional Indian or Modest Semi-Formal Attire
Our ceremony will take place in a Gurdwara. Please wear modest attire with shoulders and knees covered and note that shoes must be removed before entering. Head coverings are required for all guests. Scarves or handkerchiefs work well, and extras will be available. Traditional Indian clothing is encouraged and warmly welcomed. Women can wear sarees or lehengas. Guests will be seated on the floor during the ceremony. We kindly ask women to avoid wearing all white or all black, as these colors are traditionally reserved for other occasions, though black suits are perfectly fine for men. Out of respect for the sacred space, we also ask that guests refrain from clapping during the ceremony, as it is meant to remain prayerful and serene. Thank you for honoring these traditions with us, we are so grateful to share this meaningful day together.
