A Guest’s Guide to Traditional Indian Wedding Fashion

Guests attending a traditional Indian wedding will often be encouraged to wear Indian garments. Women assisting special ceremonies such as the Jaimala can be seen wearing different variations of the traditional sari or lengha while men will often don traditional tunics. Garments for men and women can be made from luxurious-feeling cotton or silk fabrics. For guests who are uncertain where to begin when it comes to dressing for an Indian wedding, it can always beneficial to do additional research after reading the invitation dress code. In Indian and Hindu culture, the bride often wears an opulent red and gold lengha or sari during the main Jaimala ceremony, while the groom will wear a complimenting tunic with similar embroidery or patterns. Other guest wedding colors to avoid include black and white, as these symbolize bad luck in Indian culture and are typically worn to funerals.

With local specialized shops in Iselin, Edison, and the central New Jersey area, guests can find the guidance they need when shopping for traditional Indian garments. As brightly colored clothing is encouraged, guests should wear garments in festive colors such as vibrant yellows, oranges, pinks, and blues. Women should not be afraid to accessorize heavily with bangles on both arms and large earrings as they will most likely fit right in with the events taking place. Paired with the right accessories and traditional Indian outfits, guests at Pleasantdale Chateau will be able to immerse themselves into the culture alongside the happy couple.

Fashion, Themes & Tradition: What Should I Expect at an Indian Wedding?

When preparing for an Indian wedding, friends and extended family should note that traditional Indian weddings may have events that span over three days. For most Indian couples, three days is usually the standard. Although most guests that are not immediate family members typically choose to attend the Sangeet pre-wedding ceremony and the Jaimala, it will be important to coordinate outfits accordingly for events on different days. Often, guests attending events on all three days will decide to rent or purchase traditional garments as opposed to varying with western-styled clothing. Guests prepping for an Indian wedding should look into casual and traditional options in different vibrant colors for a fresh look during each event. Women can also mix and match when it comes to accessories by opting for an all-gold look. This can help lighten bags if traveling to Pleasantdale Chateau from out of state.
