What to Wear: For the Ladies

***NO RED OR WHITE DRESSES***

Our wedding will celebrate both South Asian and Latin cultures. Please wear whatever you feel best in! This is a black-tie optional wedding, so if you choose to wear a traditional American dress, wear bright colors to spice things up!

Some things to consider:

Sari: This is a traditional Indian/Bangladeshi outfit that consists of a blouse, petticoat, and long sari that is wrapped around you. If you do not regularly wear one, we recommend purchasing a pre-clipped sari to make dressing up simpler.

Lehengha: This outfit is comprised of a crop top, long skirt, and scarf (orna/dupatta), that is draped over your shoulders. This is a fairly simple outfit to put on for any guest.

Salwar Kameez: This is comprised of a matching long tunic, scarf, and matching pants. This is great for someone who wants to be comfortable, while also stylish for the wedding!

Bindi: This is a red, or other color, dot worn in between the eyebrows. You can absolutely wear this at the wedding! Please avoid over the eyebrow bindi work as this is a bridal tradition.

What to Wear: For the Gentlemen

This wedding is black-tie optional. If you are most comfortable in a suit, please wear one! You also have the option of wearing a traditional kurta and pyjama set, a traditional outfit for South Asian men during special occasions.
