Tips on what to wear to an Asian wedding in the Midlands

The towns and cities within the Midlands of the UK are home to large Asian communities, and as such if you live in this area, it’s likely that you may be invited to a traditional Asian wedding at some point. Whether it’s a Sikh, Muslim or Hindu ceremony, these events are joyous, vibrant and will provide not only the bride and groom with some wonderful memories, but the guests too. Here, we offer from simple dress tips for those who will be attending, for the first time, one of the many Asian weddings Midlands families hold. If you have invited to the actual ceremony, women are not required to wear ethnic attire such as a sari, although it would certainly be greatly appreciated if you do. For both male and female guests at an Asian wedding, modest clothing is best, as the ceremony will be held at a religious venue where a revealing outfit might be deemed disrespectful. In terms of colours, as a general rule, pure black or white should be avoided at the ceremony, as white is worn at Indian funerals, whilst black clothing signifies a period of mourning. Bright colours, in beautiful jewel tones are most commonly worn, although vivid red, typically reserved for the bride, should not be worn, so as not to detract attention from her on such a special day. Although the clothing requirements for Asian weddings Midlands families organise will vary slightly, depending on their religious background and traditions, you may be asked to cover your head at the temple if you attend, for example, a Sikh wedding. For women, a pashmina stole can be used for this, whilst men will usually be provided with a head covering at the venue. There are very few strict rules when it comes to dressing for an Asian wedding; simply be mindful of the traditions and beliefs of those hosting it, and take this into account when choosing your attire.
