I’ve noticed a surge in demand for slimmer fits, textured fabrics, and unconventional colour choices. To seamlessly integrate these trends into my designs, I focus on suggesting contemporary styles and intricate details that complement the groom’s unique character and preferences.

My advice is to begin with timeless styles as a solid foundation. From there, I encourage them to infuse personal elements to make the ensemble truly their own. It’s essential to prioritise comfort and confidence above all else. And when in doubt, I always remind grooms that simplicity often yields the most refined and sophisticated results.

We’re currently witnessing a surge in the popularity of mirror work. At Kaaj Button by Khushi Didwania, we seamlessly incorporate this trend into various pieces such as Kurtas, Bandis, Bandhgalas, and Sherwanis. Additionally, we’ve noticed grooms becoming increasingly adventurous with their colour choices, often opting for hues that complement the theme of the occasion.

I always follow the mantra “Less is more” as this philosophy underscores the importance of simplicity and elegance.

I’ve observed a rise in popularity for slim-fit suits, along with bold colours such as burgundy and navy, as well as unique textures such as velvet and tweed. Three-piece suits and double-breasted jackets are also gaining popularity. To integrate these trends into my designs, I suggest elements that resonate with the groom’s personal style and the overall tone of the wedding. For instance, a velvet jacket might be an ideal choice for a winter ceremony, while a slim-fit suit could infuse a modern flair into a more classic theme.

My advice is to start with the basics and consider factors such as the formality of the event, the venue, and the season. It’s crucial to prioritise your comfort and confidence above all else. Seeking inspiration from fashion magazines or online platforms can be helpful, as can asking feedback from your partner or close friends. Ultimately, aim for a look that feels authentic to you and complements the overall aesthetic of the wedding. Don’t hesitate to seek out professional consultation for added clarity and direction.

We’re seeing a surge in 3D embroidery methods and a preference for ivory and earthy colour palettes, complemented by uncut kundan jewellery pieces. Luckily, our signature embroidery techniques already incorporate these 3D elements, so blending seamlessly with current trends is natural for us.

I recommend exploring online resources. With a number of celebrities tying the knot, particularly following notable weddings such as Virat and Anushka’s, there’s ample inspiration available. Identify looks that resonate with you and share them with your designer. Ultimately, entrusting yourself to your designer’s vision and creative process is key to embodying the groom you aspire to be.

I’m all about incorporating colours such as Blush Pink, Bold Burgundy, Emerald Green, and Rich Dusty tones into my designs. But above all, I believe in one guiding principle: “Embrace your individuality.”

For grooms struggling with their wedding day attire, I offer this advice: Your wedding day is about celebrating your love and commitment. Don’t feel obligated to adhere to traditional norms if they don’t align with your personal style. Instead, focus on crafting a wedding look that authentically represents who you are as a groom, a son, and an individual.

The latest trends in groom fashion include long jackets paired with trousers, perfect for the Sangeet, featuring embellishments for added flair. For the Pheras, a heavy embroidered sherwani or anarkali with matching accessories such as a stole and embroidered headgear also called Safa is recommended. For the Haldi ceremony, a stylish foil ombre yellow and white kurta with a short jacket is suggested. And for the reception, a sophisticated embroidered tuxedo in dark colours such as black, navy, or wine, complemented with a waistcoat, bow tie, and slim-fit trousers.

When grooms are not sure about their wedding day look, it’s crucial to have a conversation. Some grooms are open to designer advice, while others may have their own preferences or rely on friends and family for guidance. Ultimately, it’s about helping the groom feel confident and comfortable in his attire.
