Indian Casual or Dressy casual western
Come dressed to celebrate — no black tie required! We'd love to see colorful, festive Indian attire: kurtas, salwar suits, anarkalis, or indo-western fusion pieces. Western guests are equally welcome in a smart sundress, dressy separates, or a casual chic look. We will be indoors and there will be dancing! Think: put-together but comfortable. Bright colors and festive fabrics are highly encouraged!
Indian wedding wear or Black-tie formal
Dress Code: Indian Festive / Black Tie Join us dressed to celebrate! Guests are welcome to wear traditional Indian attire — sarees, lehengas, sherwanis, or salwar suits — or classic Western black tie: floor-length gowns and tuxedos or dark formal suits. We'd love to see the room come alive in our wedding colors. Reach for deep, rich tones like Oxblood Wine, Deep Maroon, Ruby Red, or Rum Raisin — or go bold with Deep Emerald, Peacock Teal, Royal Blue, or the full range of purples from Violet to Jewel. Warm earth tones like Copper Bronze, Burnt Amber, and Bronze Gold are equally stunning, and softer shades like Dusty Rose, Muted Mauve, Blush Pearl, and Champagne Ivory are always welcome. Please avoid wearing white, ivory as a main outfit, bright orange, or yellow. Whatever you choose — come ready to dance!

Sarees are the Indian custom wear that most are aware of, but they are complex to wear and put on unless you first timers purchase ready to wear (already draped). For the wedding, we would also suggest going for a Lehenga, Anarkali, or a Salwar Kameez! They are easier to put on and move around in. Lehenga outfits will come with three pieces; a skirt, a cropped blouse (you can edit to your liking length if customizable) and a scarf/shawl to wear in numerous ways. Salwar Kameez and Anarkali outfits will also come with three pieces, but it is a pant or skirt suit and more conservative where the top length goes below the waistline! Silk skirts, corset blouses, floor length dresses, scarves and suits are all most welcome - our priority is for everyone to feel like themselves.

you will be looking for Sherwani or Kurta sets. Sherwani's are more fancy and Kurta sets are more casual! The above pictures are some different styles that you can possibly wear. Some sets will have the scarf, some won't. Others may have a vest or a jacket. All options are viable, just depends on what you wish to wear and style!
