Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
For our sangeet, Indian attire is encouraged, however, summer semi-formal attire is equally welcome. For Indian attire, we suggest lenghas or sharara suits for women, and kurtas for men. We also encourage bright, festive colors. For our wedding ceremony and reception, summer formal attire is requested with an emphasis on bright colors. Indian attire is also welcome. The ceremony will be outdoors, and the reception afterwards will be indoors. Please keep the potentially warm Virginia weather in mind when selecting your outfit.
Question
I'd like to wear Indian clothes for the Sangeet, but it's my first time. Do you have any recommendations for where to find Indian attire?
Answer
We recommend finding a local shop so that you can try on items to see what you like. There are also many online websites, just please be mindful of shipping times. If you have specific questions, please reach out to Ann, who would be more than happy to help you further.

Our wedding will be at Tranquility Farm, a beautiful property located in the hills of Purcellville, VA. Our venue is approximately 30 minutes from the airport and about 20–30 minutes from the recommended hotels. If you plan to explore Northern Virginia or Washington, DC during your stay, you may wish to rent a car for added flexibility. There is ample parking at the venue. Ride-share services such as Uber and Lyft are also available in the area.

Do you have any recommended hotels?

You are also welcome to choose a different hotel of your choice.
