Indian weddings are lavish affairs, with vibrant colours, high-end designer clothing and jewellery, and a large number of cheerful and loving guests. The rituals are sacred and can take a long time. Attending an Indian wedding is a great way to learn about Indian culture. 

If you've been invited to these weddings, you might be wondering what to wear. No worries, we've got you covered with a variety of  wedding guest dresses to select from, including modern and classic styles, as well as ethnic, comfortable, and easy-to-wear options. You don’t have to worry about looking flashy as Indian weddings are extravagant on their own. 

Before visiting an Indian wedding and shopping for wedding guest clothes, there are a few things to keep in mind.

1. Wedding ceremonies can last anywhere from 3 to 4 days, and they can even go longer.
2. Rituals can take several hours so make sure to wear something you are comfortable in. 
3. Some spiritual ceremonies require you to dress in traditional attire. 
4. There's no need to be afraid of wearing bright colours because Indian weddings are all about being colourful.
5. Because bridal gowns are traditionally red in colour, you can wear any other colour except red on the wedding day.
6. It's all about being oneself during an Indian wedding. So don't worry about being evaluated based on what you're wearing; Indians are warm and accepting.
