Yes! You are welcome to wear Indian clothing to any of our events! Let us know if you have any questions or need help understanding the appropriate attire (which will be described under each event). Please note that ordering items online can often take a few months. If an international online order will not reach you in time, many cities have local stores selling Indian clothing. Nordstrom and ASOS also stock a limited range of Indian options, and Etsy often has options as well. The ceremony is not in a temple so there are no modesty requirements.
