Dress Code
Dress to impress! There are several different types of Indian outfits and there are no specific requirements for what types of outfits should be worn. You can dress in Indian or Western formal attire (this means American, not cowboys) and you can wear any color you want (even white). Nothing is too much - think sparkles, jewels, colors, pizzazz. Whatever you wear, just bring your A-game! We want to emphasize that there is no "out-doing the bride" (or groom).

Women
Traditionally, Indian women wear lehengas and saris to weddings. It’s variable whether people wear heels because sometimes you can’t see the shoes under the outfit. So if you can’t dance in heels, consider wearing flats.
Lehenga
Lehenga is a three-piece ensemble that consists of the actual lehenga, a long ankle-length skirt, a well-fitted blouse top known as the choli, and a scarf to drape around the outfit, known as the dupatta.
Sari
A Sari is a an outer garment, that is made of about six-yards-long fabric. It's worn with a blouse or choli and is wrapped around the waist over a petticoat with the left end made to hang over the head or shoulder.
Men
Traditionally, men wear kurta pajamas and juttis to weddings. Once again, juttis can be difficult if you're not used to them. (Fun fact: the word 'pajamas' comes from India!)
The kurta is a knee-length loose-fitting tunic, usually with long sleeves and a buttoned placket. Pajamas refer to the bottoms or trousers.
Juttis are flat shoes heavily decorated with cotton, silk, or golden embroidery and sometimes wool pompons, or tufts of material.
