For those of you wondering what to wear to the Indian Wedding, fear not! We have you covered.
Ladies / महिलाओं
Women should feel free to wear any kind of Indian-inspired outfit, whether that be a sari, lengha, or simply a brightly colored outfit you already own! (Except please avoid red).
If you are buying a sari, we recommend that you get it pre-pleated! Saris can be a bit complicated to put on and getting your sari pleated ahead of time will make it much easier for you to get dressed for the wedding.
Men / पुरुषों
Men should aim to wear a light kurta pajama, a traditional dress of men in India. It features a loose fitting, collarless long shirt over pants in a complimentary or contrasting color.
Whatever you decide, we recommended wearing something light and easy. Nothing too heavy because there will be lots of dancing.
If you plan on wearing a western suit, pick something more colorful to be in tune with the wedding.
Where to Purchase
For those of your in New York area, one fun idea would be to take the subway out to Jackson Heights and shop for authentic clothing in Little India. Browse the shelves of Indian Sari Palace, Perfection Bridal and Bombay Bridal (where I got my wedding lengha) and come away with something truly unique. Don't forget to grab a dosa before you head home!
There are also a ton of amazing websites online that allow you to buy or rent glorious Indian dresses. Check out Utsav Fashion, Cbazaar, or Indian Sari House. Even Amazon has a surprisingly large selection of beautiful options.
