This is a bright, festive event: guests are encouraged to wear colorful outfits such as jewel tones, pastels, or traditional South Asian attire.

The Mehndi is a lively pre-wedding celebration filled with music and dancing. Traditionally, mehndi is applied to the bride’s hands and feet as a symbol of love, beauty, and good fortune.

Nikkah

Please dress in formal with a modest silhouette. Traditional South Asian formalwear is welcome, as are elegant Western outfits. Neutral tones, soft colors, or classic formal shades are ideal for this solemn and celebratory occasion.
