Attire: All White! [American or Indian]
Kick off our wedding weekend in classic beachy style— join us for a night of sun-kissed introductions, fresh tunes, & tropical sips with an all-white party under the stars! Break out that white fit you’ve been saving, and get ready to mingle with spicy mango margaritas, beats, and balmy breezes. Thank you to all of our loved ones that will be taking off time, spending money, and traveling a long way just to celebrate us- each and every one of you invited to our wedding actually mean something to us and we genuinely will value & appreciate your presence. This is our way of saying namaste, swagatham, and “let’s gooo!” to the weekend of a lifetime.
10:00 am - 11:30 am
Attire: Guests are encouraged to wear shades of yellow and orange. Mixes of yellow and other bright colors are also a common choice (Yellow base with reds or hot pinks or orange etc. vice versa for an organge base). Indian attire or even a Maxi dresses will be a great choice for women! For men please feel free to wear Indian OR American!
The Maanjal (aka Haldi) is our sunshine-filled start to wedding day traditions. A turmeric ceremony rich with meaning and joy, it symbolizes purification, protection, and a blessing for the bride & groom in preparation for the wedding.. Wear yellow, bring love, and be ready for hugs you might regret (for your outfit).
7:00 pm - 10:30 pm
ATTIRE: Ladies, wear what makes you want to twirl and hit the dance floor like you choreographed the whole thing (sari, lehenga, or that flowy dress hiding in your closet)! Guys, go semi-formal or formal—Indian or American—whatever makes you feel like a king who's ready to bust a move! Bonus points if your shoes survive the dance floor!
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Traditional or tropical, formal or fusion— just think Sunday best whether that's American or Indian. We’ll just be excited to see you. Just add SPF, sunnies, and maybe practice walking in sand (heels and dress shoes at your own risk!).

Black Tie
It’s Black Tie—but make it Desi or dapper. Whether you're glammed up in a gown, tux, saree, or sherwani, just make sure you’re bringing main character energy. Sparkle is a love language. And if you are shopping and ever have the thought "Wait, will this be too over the top, I may end up being too overdressed"- your answer is: Not at an Indian wedding! & definitely not in Ashley’s world—she firmly believes there’s no such thing. So go all out have fun, especially if this is your first Indian wedding and you are dabbling in Indian fashion!
