Wedding outfit planning guide for the groom

A wedding usually has several functions, and each one deserves its own look. Planning early gives enough time for fittings and alterations.

Suggested looks for each function

• Haldi: light cotton kurta pajama in yellow or white.
• Mehendi: printed Indo-western or bright Nehru jacket set.
• Sangeet: a sharp Jodhpuri or modern Indo-western.
• Wedding: sherwani with safa, mojari and stole.
• Reception: a tailored suit, tuxedo or bandhgala.
