Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail attire or traditional Indian clothes! Please avoid wearing the color RED as that is traditionally the color the bride wears (just like wearing white to a traditional Western wedding is a no-no). Examples of traditional Indian clothes for women include: A saree, which is an elaborately draped length of fabric that is worn from shoulders to ankles, covering one or both of your arms. However, this takes some practice to wear and can be a little tough to dance in if you're not used to wearing them. A lehenga is another popular option: it is typically a two-piece outfit consisting of a crop top and full skirt. A sharara, which is a type of suit featuring wide-leg, palazzo-style pants and a matching tunic top (sometimes called a kurti or kurta). The set is typically decorated with sparkly beading, brocade patterns, and embroidery. Men can wear either a long-sleeved tunic (kurti) or a knee-length jacket (called a sherwani) with matching pants.
