Choose the Outfit Around the Wedding Event
A wedding weekend may include several occasions, and the same outfit will not necessarily suit all of them. Think about where each event falls on the schedule and how formal the hosts expect guests to dress.
-
Ceremony: A sherwani or Jodhpuri style can suit a more formal setting, particularly when the groom and wedding party are wearing structured traditional outfits.
-
Sangeet or reception: Consider the overall look alongside how much movement the event involves. A kurta set may be easier to wear for an evening of dancing, while a formal jacket creates a sharper silhouette.
-
Pre-wedding gathering: A kurta set can offer a less formal alternative when the dress code calls for traditional clothing without the structure of a full sherwani.
These are starting points rather than strict rules. Follow the couple’s dress code and confirm whether the groomsmen are expected to wear a specific style for each event.
Sherwani, Jodhpuri, or Kurta Set?
The collection includes three main categories, each with a different visual effect. Comparing the silhouette first can make it easier to narrow down the available colors and designs.
-
Sherwanis have a more formal, elongated appearance and can work well when the wedding party needs a dressier look. They are worth considering for ceremonies or receptions where the groom is wearing traditional formalwear.
-
Jodhpuri outfits offer a structured jacket-based option. Their cleaner outline can suit a coordinated wedding party, especially when the groom’s outfit has a similarly tailored appearance.
-
Kurta sets provide another way to dress traditionally without choosing a formal jacket. They can be a practical option for less formal functions or for a wedding schedule with several events.
Compare the actual product photos and descriptions before deciding. The category name alone will not tell you how ornate a particular piece looks or whether it fits the couple’s intended dress code.
Use Color to Tie the Wedding Party Together
Before choosing a shade, ask the couple whether the groomsmen need to match the wedding palette or complement it. A shared color can connect the group visually, but matching every detail is not always necessary.
Aayka’s collection includes options such as olive, royal blue, light blue, wine, and purple, alongside other colors and designs. Availability depends on the individual product, so use the current listings to compare what is offered rather than planning around a shade before confirming the outfit.
When several people are ordering, agree on the color direction first. Then compare the available silhouettes and details. If the groom is wearing a heavily decorated outfit, a simpler look for the groomsmen can keep the overall group balanced. If the groom’s outfit is minimal, the wedding party can add visual interest through coordinated color or more distinctive jackets.
Get the Measurements Right for Each Person
Ordering for a group requires more than asking everyone to select the same size label. Two people who usually wear the same size may have different chest, shoulder, sleeve, or length measurements. Structured jackets and sherwanis make these differences particularly noticeable.
Before placing an order:
-
Check the measurements requested on each product page and compare them with the wearer’s own measurements.
-
Confirm jacket and sleeve length, trouser sizing, and any other fit details listed for the selected outfit.
-
Check what is included in the set rather than assuming every listing contains the same pieces.
-
Contact Aayka if you are unsure which size to choose or need help with measurements.
Use the size chart as a reference, and contact the team through the contact page if a fit question remains unresolved.
Organize Rentals Before the Wedding Week
For a group, it helps to choose outfits early enough to compare styles, collect measurements, and confirm availability. Aayka’s standard rental period is seven days, with extensions available up to a total of 12 days. Rentals cannot be booked more than 75 days before the event date, so check the booking window and product availability when planning.
If the groomsmen are ordering separately, share the preferred styles and color direction with everyone before they place their orders. This reduces the chance of ending up with different interpretations of the dress code. Confirm the event date, rental timing, and fit details for each person individually.
If you are also coordinating outfits for the groom, browse the groom collection and compare it with the groomsmen options. The couple can also explore custom bridal-party outfits if the wedding requires a more specific coordinated design.
