If you've been invited to an Indian wedding (or you’re prepping for your own), buckle up. This isn’t your typical “one and done” wedding weekend. This is a full-on cultural marathon—equal parts rituals, colors, music, turmeric, and killer food.

But let’s be honest. The biggest panic for most non-resident Indians? What to wear to each function. You’ve heard words like mehendi, sangeet, and grah shanti, and you’re wondering if you need six outfits (spoiler: you do).

Good news? We’ve decoded every event and matched it with a perfect fit. Here's your go-to guide to looking on point, without sweating through silk or committing any outfit faux pas.

Dress Code For Indian Wedding

1. Pooja: Blessings + Vibes

What it is: A pre-wedding ritual for spiritual cleansing, usually held at home. Think calm energy, close family, and chanting—not chandeliers and champagne.

Dress code: Traditional, simple, and modest. Respectful > flashy.

Our Pick: Off-White Chanderi Silk Thread Work Indo-Western Set

This Indo-western features soft Chanderi silk, known for its natural sheen and breathability. The subtle threadwork gives it just the right amount of elegance. It’s fuss-free, sits well for long rituals, and moves easily from the prayer mat to the lunch plate.

2. Engagement(Sagai): Say It With Sophistication

What it is: The ring exchange ceremony—formal, emotional, and often the first time both families meet.

Dress code: Elevated ethnic wear. Not OTT, but definitely polished.

Our Pick: Off-White Modal Silk French Knot Bundi Set

Made with pure modal silk, this Bundi set feels luxe without being loud. The French knot embroidery adds hand-done charm, while the cut is modern and clean. It’s breathable, photo-friendly, and ideal for greeting aunties without looking like you tried too hard.

3. Haldi: Turmeric and Chaos

What it is: A playful, turmeric-filled pre-wedding ritual to bless the couple—and stain every outfit in sight.

Dress code: Yellow-ish, easy, and washable. You will get messy.

Our Pick: Off-White & Yellow Pure Linen-Silk Kurta Set

Crafted with a linen-silk blend, this kurta keeps you cool while delivering festive vibes. The off-white with yellow combo is on-theme without being too literal. Bonus: lightweight enough to dodge rogue Haldi splashes.

4. Mehendi: Where The Fun Begins

What it is: Henna, music, and chill vibes. It’s where everyone starts loosening up and starts dancing.

Dress code: Fun, festive, and easy to move in.

Our Pick: Pistachio Linen-Silk Kurta with Mirror Embellishments

With mirror work + resham thread detailing, this kurta brings sparkle without the sequins. The linen-silk fabric keeps it breezy, and the pistachio green is a head-turning upgrade from the usual white-and-gold.

5. Sangeet: The Desi Met Gala

What it is: Dance. Music. Performances. Late-night celebrations. Basically, the Grammys—if everyone were related.

Dress code: Glam + comfort = win.

Our Pick: Black Italian Cotton Velvet Indo-Western Set

This is your “main character” moment. With Italian cotton velvet, hand-painted pearl patches, and structured draping, you’ll look like you belong on stage—even if you’re just vibing near the bar. Bonus: velvet looks luxe but doesn’t suffocate.

6. Wedding: The Main Event

What it is: The actual ceremony. Pheras. Vows. Fire. Emotion. Grand everything.

Dress code: Go big. This is where you bring your A-game.

Our Pick: Beige Chanderi Silk Sherwani

With hand-done embroidery on Chanderi silk, this sherwani is everything a groom—or close family member—needs. It’s structured yet breathable, and elegant enough to hold up against the bride’s look (well, almost).

7. Reception: Classy Wrap-Up

What it is: The afterparty. Speeches, slow dances, and wardrobe changes.

Dress code: Formal and fashion-forward.

Our Pick: Blue Bhagalpuri Silk Indo-Western Set

A structured Indo-western jacket paired with Bhagalpuri silk makes this an easy win. It’s modern, elevated, and fits the post-wedding aesthetic, especially when you’ve already used up all your kurta sets.
