What to Expect at an Indian Wedding
Some details to help you prepare
So you’ve been invited to an
Indian Wedding
Your first one, perhaps.
Will there be a horse? NO
Do I wear a saree? If you want
Will there be alcohol? YES!
Here’s a brief primer
What to Wear
Traditional Indian weddings are one part celebration and one part fashion show
Dressing up in Indian/South Asian attire is one of the best parts of the festivities! We encourage you to embrace the opportunity to take part in the culture.
Women can wear LENGHAS, ANARKALIS, SHARARAS or SAREES
Men can wear KURTA PAJAMAS, SHERWANIS, or JODHPURI SUITS
Explore a curated list of online shops and designers below to learn more. You can also visit a local Indian or South Asian clothing store… or borrow something from a friend! Retailers like Nordstrom, ASOS and Amazon offer selections as well. Feel free to reach out with questions.
HAPPY SHOPPING!
