Introduction
Attending a Hindu wedding can be a delightful experience filled with vibrant colours, rich traditions, and joyous celebrations. As guests, it's important to respect the cultural norms and dress codes to fully embrace the occasion. Here at Compare the Mandap, not only do we specialise in mandap hire across the UK, but we also aim to provide comprehensive advice for creating memorable celebrations.
Dos and Don'ts
Understanding what to wear as a guest to a Hindu wedding can be a bit daunting, but fear not! We’ve put together a list of dos and don'ts to help you navigate the process with ease.
Dos
- Do wear bright and vibrant colours. Hindu weddings are known for their vivid hues, so don’t shy away from wearing colours like red, orange, pink, and gold.
- Do opt for traditional attire. For women, this could mean a saree, lehenga, or anarkali suit. Men can wear a sherwani, kurta pajama, or dhoti.
- Do accessorise with jewellery. Women can wear bangles, necklaces, and earrings to complement their outfits.
- Do consider the climate. If the wedding is outdoors in the summer, choose lighter fabrics like cotton or silk. For winter weddings, heavier fabrics like velvet or brocade are suitable.
- Do respect the cultural traditions. Modesty is key, so avoid outfits that are too revealing.
Don'ts
- Don’t wear black or white. These colours are typically associated with mourning and funerals in Hindu culture.
- Don’t wear casual or western attire. Jeans, t-shirts, and casual dresses are not appropriate for a Hindu wedding.
- Don’t overshadow the bride and groom. While it’s great to dress up, avoid outfits that are too extravagant or attention-grabbing.
