Your Final Ethnic Style Guide for the Big Fat Indian Wedding
The 2025 wedding season is upon us, and with it comes the excitement of choosing the perfect outfit. Whether you’re the groom, the best man, or a stylish guest looking to turn heads, the right cloth is about blending convention with trend. Indian weddings are all about grandeur, reflectivity, and detail— and your outfit should match the vibe.
Here’s your ultimate guide on what to wear this wedding season, broken down by role and occasion.
For Grooms: The Showstopper Look
1. Wedding Day—The Royal Sherwani
2025 is all about bold embroidery, deep jewel tones, and handcrafted ducky. Go for a hand- embroidered sherwani with rich detailing—think zardozi, mirror work, or resham threadwork.
Top Groom Sherwani Trends:
• Ivory or champagne base with antique gold detailing
• Emerald green or royal blue with tonal embroidery
• Velvet accents and layered stoles
• Paired with bespoke mojris or embroidered juttis
2. Reception – Modern Elegance
Ditch the traditional for a sleek Indo-western look or classic tuxedo with Indian detailing. Pair with patent leather shoes or lacquer-finished Kari shoes for a polished finish.
For Groomsmen & Guests: Make a Stylish Statement
1. Sangeet or Cocktail – Indo-Western Charm
This is the night to blend comfort with flair. Think kurta sets with jackets, asymmetrical hemlines, Draped silhouettes, or even embroidered Nehru jackets.
Pro tip: Match with bold shoes— hand-embroidered Kari slip-ons are the talk of 2025.
2. Mehendi – Breezy & Vibrant
Go for pastel or bright kurtas with prints or subtle threadwork. Style with ethnic sandals or Peshawari Chappals for a relaxed, festive feel.
3. Wedding Ceremony–Understated Elegance
If you’re a guest, don’t outshine the groom—but that doesn’t mean being boring. Choose a classic kurta with a waistcoat, or an elegant bandhgala set.
Waistcoat tip: Choose contrast tones or embellished textures to elevate your look.
4. Reception –Smart, Sharp & Semi-Formal
Think fusion dressing: Indo-western blazers, structured bandhgalas, or even western suits with Indian textiles like raw silk or brocade.
