Q + A

What is the dress code?

The dress code is formal or Indian formalwear. Please be advised that if you would like to change clothes between the ceremonies, we unfortunately will not have a formal changing room or a place for you to store your change of clothes.

What is Indian formalwear and can I wear it as a non-Indian guest?

Yes, everyone is welcome to wear Indian formalwear if they will be comfortable in it all day! For women, this includes sarees and lehengas. Be advised that you may need to have the blouse stitched separately. For men, this includes kurta pajamas, sherwanis, and Nehru suits. Examples can be found at https://www.manyavar.com/en-us/ Please note that off-limits colors are red (bride's color) , black (funeral color), and white (funeral color & bride's color).

Will I be able to change between ceremonies?

Unfortunately, we do not have space for guests to change between ceremonies. Please come wearing either Indian formalwear or cocktail attire you are comfortable wearing the entire day. The hotels are 15 min from the venue, and there is only 1 hour between ceremonies and guests who are late to the Western ceremony will be asked to please not interrupt.

Can we bring our children?

Our wedding is an adults-only affair!

Can we take photos during the ceremony?

We ask that you leave the photos and videos to the professionals during the ceremony, but encourage you to take photos during the cocktail hours and reception!

How will we get to the wedding vanue?

There will be a bus picking up guests at the Kimpton Palomar to arrive in time for the 2:30PM Barat (see "Schedule" or "Travel"). For guests who would prefer to drive, there will be complementary valet parking at Bartram's Garden. Rideshare is also a great option - the venue is ~15 min drive from the hotels.
