Indian and Western attire are welcome at every event—choose something you feel comfortable celebrating in!

Note from Jayne: My first trip to India was for a friend’s wedding in 2023, and trying new styles of clothing was one of my favorite parts—the colors, the sparkle, the fabrics! Since then, sharing food, films, dancing, and traditions with Amey, friends, and family has brought me so much joy. If you’d like to try Indian attire too, I’ve shared some tips and resources below. There’s no pressure—join in however feels comfortable for you.

A few places to browse online:

A local Indian boutique is also a great place to find inspiration, try different styles, and get advice on fit—even if you’re still deciding what you’d like to wear. Search for “Indian clothing boutique” or “South Asian clothing” near you.

We’ll have saree drapers available on site to help you get ready, so no experience needed! If you’ve been wanting to try wearing one, you’ll be in good hands.

Western attire is welcome! For ceremonies, keep shoulders and knees covered and avoid plunging necklines, large cutouts, or high slits. A shawl works well over a sleeveless dress.

The colors are suggestions, not requirements—wear something you love that fits the event’s level of dress.
