The Perfect Sherwani for Your Wedding Day

The wedding day is going to be one of the happiest times of your life, and you will want your attire to reflect that. In men's wedding attire, the sherwani is the quintessential garment, perhaps the one that truly captures elegance, culture, and royal-like charm. While sherwanis come in all shapes and sizes, and there is much to consider when deciding on the right sherwani, it is important to recognize that it is not just a matter of what "looks good," but understanding the intricacies of how it fits with who you are, how you feel at your event, and what you will be most comfortable in.

There are many types and styles of Sherwanis. If you are looking for some classic formal outfitting, you would likely lean toward an Achkan-style sherwani, which is fitted into the silhouette. 

If you are looking for something more dramatic, you'll likely want to think about trying an Anarkali-style sherwani, which has a more flared bottom for a more dramatic effect. The Jodhpuri sherwani is a tailored, Indo-Western compromise. If you are leaning more toward the royal or traditional side of your wedding theme, then an Angrakha-style sherwani might be a great style to consider. After you've selected the type of sherwani you might want to wear, the next big consideration is the fabric and the color palettes you can work with.

If you are going for a winter or evening function at a wedding, then consider deep colors, such as rich wine, navy, or forest green, silky fabrics, or all three combined for a great bridal grandma. If you are working with day functions or summer weddings, consider layering lighter silk/cotton blends or other cotton fabrics in colors like ivory, blush, or champagne, as they can add an understated, elegant tone and outlook to your outfit!

In conclusion, don't dismiss the embroidery and embellishments as part of your overall look. Zari, mirror work, thread detailing, and hand-crafted motifs that contribute to the richness of a sherwani. Don't let the embroidery put your comfort at risk or distract from your overall look beyond being a beautiful detail. Lastly, getting your sherwani styled right is essential. As a good rule of thumb, finish your look with traditional mojaris, a turban or safa, a brooch if desired, and possibly a layered pearl necklace for drama.
