I went to a wedding where the groom was beige with hint of gold coloured Kameez with sophisticated embroidery around the neckline, and white Shalwar, and the phoolon wala haar made him look like a perfect dhulha. I thought that looked quite nice.
personally i like the sherwani look on the nikkah day…it looks nice…but if he wants to wear a tux or suit let him…otherwise hes not going to feel comfortable and look awkward. if he goes for a suit maybe if he co ordinates his outfit to urs in some way…and about him standing out. its not like people arent going to know hes the groom
mehndi id say…a smart-ish shalwar kameez/kurta…? and then nikkah day sherwani/suit and walima a suit defo
Usually guys wear Kurta shalwar on Mehndi’s, Shalwar kaameez on nikkah if its on a different day from barat.
Barat day- Sherwani, Suit with vest or Tux.
Valima day- Suit.
I personally have seen a lot of guys wearing suit on shadi day. My husband also was not a fan of Sherwani, so he wore a Black suit with a Black vest and very light gold tinted shirt with tie matching colored to my dress. With the Garlands he looked like a Groom,
however one of his single friends wore a groom like sherwani(pretty weird) and the people that didn’t really knew who the groom was congratulated him while he was on the stage with my hubby. LOL
I think its better to go with what ever the Groom prefers after all he is the one who has to wear it.
