Answer
Dress-code: Semi-formal. We encourage guests to wear vibrant, colorful attire. If you have Indian clothing, we’d love for you to shine in your desi wear. If not, bright and festive semi-formal clothing is perfect. Please just refrain from wearing red, as it’s traditionally reserved for the bride.

Question
Should I dress warmly? What is the weather like in Atlanta in February?
Answer
Atlanta in February tends to be cool, with temperatures usually ranging from the mid-40s to mid-50s°F (7–13°C). Our events will be indoors or in heated tents, though there will be a brief outdoor portion (the baraat, approximately 30 minutes) if weather permits. We recommend bringing a warm layer for comfort when moving between spaces or during any outdoor moments.
