HALDI Embrace the joy and vibrant colors of a traditional Haldi ceremony, but with a beach-ready twist!
We invite you to wear your bathing suit and a light, colorful cover-up. Think flowy kurtas, airy kaftans, or bright sarongs. The colors of the Haldi are yellows, oranges, and ivories, so we encourage you to incorporate these joyful, sunny hues!
This is a celebration, so be ready to get messy (in the best way!) and definitely be prepared to jump in the water! We'll be serving up plenty of beach games like volleyball, football, water guns, and sand castle building.

SANGEET Our high-energy, pre-wedding dance party! The vibe for the night is a modern, bright, and colorful nightclub celebration.
We encourage everyone to dress to dazzle and embrace the color palette!
Indian Fancy (Highly Encouraged!): This is the perfect time to bring out your most festive, fun, and brightly colored attire. Think vibrant lehengas, sarees, sherwanis, or detailed kurta sets. The brighter the color, the better!
Pro-Tip for First-Timers
If you've never attended an Indian wedding event, please don't stress! The most important rule is to wear something you can dance comfortably in and something that makes you feel vibrant and happy.
No muted colors, please! Think bright, bold, and ready for the dance floor!
