The Baraat is a wedding tradition that signifies the groom's journey to meet his bride and unite their two families. It's basically a celebratory mini-parade. Traditionally, the groom arrives accompanied by his friends and family, who dance and celebrate alongside live music. We are putting our own twist on this tradition by bringing the Baraat to the Sangeet, allowing friends and family from both sides to join in the festivities. Being the chill, low-key guy that Nick is, he will be arriving to his Baraat on horseback. You don't want to miss it.
The Sangeet is a beloved Indian pre-wedding celebration where friends and family take the stage with fun, choreographed performances to celebrate everyone coming together (and for a little friendly competition to see who has the best dance moves). Sangeet literally means "music" or "sung together" in Hindi, and the event is centered around singing, dancing, and celebrating the happiness and joy surrounding the couple. Whether you've attended an Indian wedding before or this is your first one, the sangeet is all about having fun and celebrating together. We hope you'll join us for an evening of joy, food, drinks, and lots of dancing!
Dress to impress and ready to celebrate! Vibrant, colorful Indian attire is encouraged. For ladies, this means lehengas, sarees, or anarkalis. For men, this means sherwanis, kurtas, or bandhgala suits. If you don’t have Indian attire, no worries. Colorful cocktail attire is perfect, too. Don't be afraid to bring the glam with bold colors and sparkle (there is no such thing as upstaging an Indian bride). There is no need to buy a new outfit (we'll take you as you are!) but if you want to be on theme, we recommend the following websites for Indian attire: https://www.lashkaraa.com https://www.kalkifashion.com https://www.azafashions.com We recommend ordering two months in advance and sizing up a size. Poshmark also sells Indian clothes and most cities have Indian clothing stores. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Raika or Prem (the bride’s mom).
