If the mere thought of twinning with your bride makes you go ‘yuck’, then you are probably thinking of cheesy couple T-shirts. But here we are suggesting unperturbed sophistication in coordinated sherwani and bride outfits. With the myriad events on an Indian wedding checklist, it’s the right place for the couple to experiment with coordinated looks. A well-put-together look that complements your bride's outfit not only establishes a defined theme for your wedding but also promises you some amazing photographs.
Let's take you through an interesting style guide on how to match your sherwani with your bride's outfit without going overboard.
1) Twinning in Similar Prints and Embroideries
Rather than twinning completely with your bride, you can look for sherwanis featuring the same prints and embroideries as that of your bride. The groom in the picture chose to match his jacket and footwear with the bride’s indigo silk lehenga doused in intricate silver motifs while sporting a beige sherwani below for a refined and balanced look. Aza Fashions has a similar variety of printed jacket sherwanis that you must check out for some shopping inspiration.
2) Contrasting Neutrals for a Surreal Look
Subtle and dreamy looks that incorporate neutral tones, pastel floral work, and small tints of bright pink, end up looking magical as well as elegant and the Bollywood power couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are proof. Virat Kohli in his ivory pure silk hand embroidered sherwani featuring Sabysachi’s House buttons color-coordinated his look with Anushka’s pastel pink lehenga bearing Renaissance embroidery in real silver and gold thread,
3) Classic Red and White: An Ode to the Traditional Look
Red lehengas are cult favorites amongst Indian women so if your bride too is planning to slip into the traditional color, then consider coordinating your wedding look by sticking to a white sherwani. The romance of red and white is seen in the wedding pictures of our Bollywood A-listers Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif who took the red and white route and created magic.
4) Surreal Beige and White to Radiate Effortless Charm
Stereotypical bridal colors such as bright pink, maroon, and gold have had their share of limelight and now it’s time to let some neutrals do the talking on your wedding. Donning a beige jacket over a powdered pink sherwani is a great way to match your bride’s soothing neutral lehenga just like celebrity couple Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha.
5) Bollywood-Approved Ivory on Ivory
The ivory-on-ivory look for weddings has got a Bollywood stamp from the hit couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Ranbir evokes sheer elegance as he sports an embroidered silk sherwani to match his blushing bride’s ivory organza sari. Coordinating your ivory sherwani with your bride’s ivory outfit is a welcome move to cleanse all other colors that create a typical Indian wedding. The lightness of the shade is yearned by the new generation who wish to make their wedding look luxurious and modern while also adding freshness to it. Browse through our impressive edit of designer silk sherwanis at Aza Fashions and grab one to cast a magical spell on your bride with your looks.
6) Gorgeous Black and Red: The Bold and Beautiful Route
All it takes to charm your guests at the wedding is a slightly bold move. Ditch the same old gold, blue, red, and maroon sherwanis and pick something unusual. Black sherwanis are a perfect match when your bride has planned on flaunting a red saree like Anushka Sharma. Recreate a similar royal groom look like Indian cricketer Virat Kohli by opting for a black bandhgala sherwani and shawl for a modest yet regal take on wedding attire coordination.
7) Matching Pocket Square with Saree Color
If color coordination doesn't appeal to you, look for other innovative ways to twin with your bride. Thoughtfully planned-out accessories like a pocket square can match the color of your bride’s saree. Perfect for shy grooms, this style tip goes a long way in helping you curate the most stylish wedding look. The groom posing in the picture in his off-white sherwani matches his maroon pocket square with the color of his bride’s attire and veil.
8) Different Pastel Shades
While combining pastel shades from similar color families is a tried and tested way of looking attractive, you can trust the different pastel hues too for some insta-worthy photoshoots. Pastel is a well-loved shade of the era and is being embraced by modern-day couples; incorporating the same in your wedding look with differentiating shades can make a world of difference. If the style tip was compelling enough, we suggest you look into our collection of pastel sherwanis for an ethereal statement.
9) Striking Black and White Combination
The unconventional and bold, black and white combination looks for wedding commands attention. Reliance Chairman Anant Ambani took to a black short sherwani look for timeless coordination with his wife Radhika Merchant’s (one of the directors of Encore Healthcare) serene white gown look. The well-coordinated and neat look of the duo underlined the pre-weddings theme and style while ensuring every detail of the ceremony was intentional and cohesive.
10) Matching Headgear with Bride's Dupatta
Color coordinating one part of your groom's ensemble to twin with the bride’s is a fail-safe choice and a better alternative to wearing the same color palette head-to-toe. For instance, the headgear of the groom can match the dupatta of the bride. Have a look at this groom radiating opulence with royal jewelry and brooch as he matches his safe with his bride’s maroon lehenga and dupatta while donning a sherwani set of a contrasting color.
We hope we could inspire you with the trendiest ways to coordinate your sherwani with the bride's attire. Coordinating the bride's outfit displays a unified aesthetic and highlights the couple's style and their attention to detail.
