Wedding clothes for Indian men are as extravagant and intricately made as the Brides outfit. The groom has many options in terms of styling and detailing, but in this article we focus on wedding sherwanis and bridal kurtas.
A Bridal Kurta is essentially a Kurta and Payjama (Pyjama) / Churidar that has rich detailing and embroidery. The detailing and embroidery are done using traditional embroidery styles including Kantha, Dori or Appliqu detailing. The colours of the embroidery are usually complimentary, rather than contrasting, to the colour of the outfit. The wedding kurta is usually made of Silk in earthly tones of Beige or White. Recently, grooms have experimented with brighter colours, especially those matching the brides outfits, including Blue, Magenta and Red. If grooms keep the general outfit simple and of a neutral palette, the Dupattas / Scarves are the area to experiment and introduce colour to the look. The scarves can be embroidered, printed and in luxurious materials like heavy silks and sometimes also in handloom fabrics.
Wedding sherwanis are beautiful garments that look elegant and glamorous at the same time. The jackets traditionally have a Nehru collar and can be waist length (like a Bandhgala) or knee length (like a Jodhpur suit). Mens wedding sherwani colours change with fashion trends, but timeless colours like Black, Beige and Cream are always popular. Bolder colours like Blue, Aquamarine, Green and Purple are also options that modern grooms are sporting. Embellishments are usually minimalistic, but the embroidery is usually the highlight. Similar to wedding kurtas, wedding sherwanis also feature beautiful and extremely intricate embroidery. While a Nehru collar is traditional, a Jama cut or an Angarkha cut are also popular choices. The styling and cut is usually dependent as much on the individual choice as it is on the community of the families involved.
Indian designers have created elegantly styled Mens bridal clothing for many generations. The design sensibilities have evolved from the time of the Maharajas and Kings, but the elegance and the craftsmanship have remained true to the craft. Designers create sherwanis for weddings for a wide range of clients, including multiple price points. Value is usually placed on the craftsmanship and materials used by the designer. Timeless styles have persisted over many generations and a good sherwani is usually an investment that lasts many years.
For contemporary styling and design sensibilities, designers like Siddartha Tytler from India create Wedding Sherwanis that appeal to Indian and International audiences. The designers 2011 Bridal Asia collection showcased different styles of wedding Kurtas, Bandhgalas and Sherwanis for men. The colour palette was modern and the embroidery extremely fine. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is un-matched and so is the value for money. Siddartha Tytler is a darling of Bollywood stars and has dressed stars like Sonali Bendre time and again for key Fashion Shows and Bollywood movies.
