Dag 2 – 25 oktober, 11u – Westerse huwelijksceremonie
Dresscode: klassieke trouwkledij.
Mannen: Kostuum
Vrouwen: elegante jurk (cocktail of lang).
Stijl: vergelijkbaar met een Belgische trouw.
Dag 2 – 25 oktober, 16u - Indische ceremonie
Dresscode: traditioneel Indisch.
Mannen: sherwani of kurta met sjaal.
Vrouwen: sari of lehenga.
Alternatief: Je kan uiteraard de kledij van de voormiddag aanhouden. Een outfit change is absoluut niet verplicht.
Tip: vermijd wit; kleurrijk is beter.
Dag 2 - 25 oktober, 20u - Dinner and Afterparty
Indische kleren kan je eventueel in België vinden maar dit gaat veel duurder zijn. Het gemakkelijkste is om het ter plaatse te kopen in een winkel die al ready-made kleren heeft of een winkel waar ze de kleren nog op maat maken (dit duurt vaak 1-3 dagen).
