Sage green (only applicable to wedding day)
Guests may wear any semi-formal attire. This is a fusion event so it is up to you what you would like to wear! For men, suits and kurtas, etc are acceptable. For women, long dresses, lehengas, etc. are all acceptable.
If you are staying at the Residence Inn, there is valet parking available at the hotel. Otherwise we recommend the Yawkee parking lot or Van Ness garage.
Hors d'Oeuvres will be served during cocktail hour at 7pm followed by a buffet dinner at 8pm.
A Mehndi event is traditionally a day where henna is applied to the bride's hands to wish happiness and good luck. Modern brides typically apply the mehndi a day before the event as the application is expected to take up to 8 hours. Look for the grooms name hidden in the bride's henna design!
At our mehndi, we will have henna artists available for guests who want to have their henna applied. We recommend having the backs of your hands tattooed to allow yourself use of your hands for the remainder of the night. There are typically group dances set to Bollywood tunes performed by the bride and grooms friends! Search “mehndi dances” if you’re unfamiliar, or for some choreography inspiration if you’d like to participate! Expect desi food and drink, alcoholic beverages (beer/wine/seltzer), and lots of music and dancing!
Lehengas, anarkalis, shararas, and kurtis are common womenswear. Menswear is called a kurta set. For online shopping we recommend Lashkaraa, and for local shopping we recommend Aalok in Waltham. While desi clothes are encouraged, it is totally optional!
There is street parking or a municipal parking lot on Springfield St Municipal Lot #14 - https://maps.app.goo.gl/dn1XTNpf2JxckpDp6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
