Here’s a timeless truth: in the captivating spectacle that is an Indian wedding, the bride reigns as the heart and soul of the affair. Her influence is not just felt, but revered in every discussion, decision, and delightful detail—from the invites to the flowers to, of course, the attire, with everyone scouring for the most distinct bridal finery for her.
But, what about the groom?
Conventionally, grooms have mostly been restricted to looking the part, showing up, and smiling for the cameras. While there's no denying the flattery of being a dashing accessory to the bride, let us tell you that wearing your personality out loud and curating a unique wedding wardrobe is just as important. After all, this occasion will be etched in your heart (and in your guests’ minds) for years to come, so why not dress to the nines for it?
Herein lies your indispensable guide to navigating the daunting waters of wedding dressing, ensuring you emerge as a beacon of style and sophistication. Read on, for the secrets of sartorial finesse await.
Don’t be picky about palettes
Allow us to impart a perennial piece of advice: when it comes to craft and colours, dare to be daring. As classic as your go-to monochrome look might be, there's an undisputed charm of wearing heritage hues that match the day's sentiments. While earthy tones and pastel picks are must-haves for daytime rituals, go beyond and explore unconventional shades that add a touch of drama and individuality—striking emeralds, luxurious golds, and vibrant saffrons, to name a few.
When it comes to evening attire, we are inclined to agree that blues and blacks add a classy layer. However, don’t be afraid to bling it up. And if you’re a seasoned statement maker, red is the colour of passion that will have you rooted in tradition, yet positioned as a trendsetter of the now. A one-stop haven for it all? Kunal Rawal—a certified celeb-favourite designer, offering creations that make your wardrobe a standout affair. Explore a variety of options, from finely detailed traditionals to distinct blazers and shirts, available in striking reds and other bold hues.
Embellishments are the ultimate oomph factor
Still living in the illusion that embroidered and encrusted apparel are reserved solely for women? The fact is, dear men, couture is for everyone. And the appeal of handcrafted outfits is inimitable—especially if you’re an uncompromised enthusiast of the finer things in life. Whether it's the mesmeric zardozi work, intricate resham embroidery, or shimmering sequins, Kunal Rawal is known to champion the artisanal legacy of the country through his work, resulting in pieces that stand the test of time and trend.
Consider bandhgalas with delicate needlework for pre-wedding events, or layer them with sheer shirts for added flair. Sequins are perfect for after-parties, while ornately embellished sherwanis from Kunal Rawal capture the regality of the wedding ceremony in all glory.
