Hello my son has been invited to his friends wedding soon. We are europeans and are not of Sikh or Hindu faith. He has been told to cover his head for the ceremony, the bride and groom are of mixed faith and so it will be the Sikh ceremony in the morning and the Hindu ceremony in the afternoon. Is anyone able to tell me what kind of headcovering should he wear, how big, are any colours thought to be more auspicious than other colours. Also can you give advice please on what his girlfriend should also aim to wear if attending in western clothes. I appreciate any help you can give as he is really looking forward to this day and enjoying such a happy occasion with his very good friends. It will be a great cultural opportunity for him. He intends also to wear a regular western suit (black) with possibly purple shirt and tie, are these appropriate colours also?
Many thanks, Lynn
