Friday
Dress code: Indo-western cocktail
Wear something fun, colorful, and festive. We invite all our guests to wear Indian outfits if they please.
If you want to wear western, think colorful, fun prints, linen, or fun accessories. If you want to wear Indian, lean in and have fun with it!
As Nina's Dadiji always says, we love cultural appreciation. If you want to look for an Indian outfit, try searching for sharara sets, lehengas, or pre-draped saris, or kurta sets, sherwanis, or bandhgala suits, depending on the silhouette you're drawn to.
If you have any questions or want to do a fit check, text Nina (650-867-6462) or Alec (614-506-4640).
