For the groom
Sherwanis, kurta sets, bandhgala-style jackets and Indo-western pieces, cut to measure for the groom, the brothers and the fathers — and designed alongside the bride’s, in the same room.
The studio makes the groom’s wedding-week outfits as well as the bride’s: sherwanis, kurta sets, bandhgala-style jackets and Indo-western pieces, cut from his measurements and hand-embroidered in Vadodara, for the Gujarati groom and for families wherever they live. Because both are designed here, his can be built to her colour or her embroidery rather than matched to it afterwards. Fathers, brothers and boys are dressed the same way.
Coordinated, because both are made here
A rental house has a rail and a size; a marketplace has a photograph and a courier. Either can give him something that looks well on its own, and neither can make him and her look like one decision — because neither made hers.
That is not a colour match at the end. It is the same palette chosen once, or a motif from her hand embroidery worked at his collar and cuff, settled while both pieces are still on paper. This studio is a bridal studio first; his outfit is the easy part once hers is being drawn.
The five days
- Engagement, roka and sagai
- A kurta set or a bandhgala for the groom-to-be, often in a colour that sits with hers, and kurtas for the fathers and brothers. Usually the first thing ordered, and often what settles the palette for the rest of the week.
- Mehendi
- Kurtas in a colour rather than white, in cotton or a light silk blend. A mehendi in greens and yellows looks planned when the men are in it too, and accidental when they are the only ones in cream.
- Haldi
- A cotton kurta in white, cream or yellow that he accepts may be stained. Still worth making properly: he is in the middle of every photograph taken that day.
- Sangeet
- Where the men dress up — a proper kurta set, a bandhgala-style jacket or an Indo-western piece, in the family palette rather than the safe cream. This is the evening where coordinating with the bride matters most.
- Reception
- The most formal of his week: a sherwani, a bandhgala or a structured Indo-western piece, very often coordinated with her colour or her embroidery. Brothers and fathers in kurta sets or bandhgalas alongside.
How it works
Every piece is cut from his own measurements — no stock, nothing made in advance, each order priced before the work begins. He does not have to be in Vadodara: measurements are taken on a WhatsApp video call of about twenty minutes and the finished piece is couriered.
Order his with hers rather than after it. A bridal order runs four weeks at most, and from November to February the studio is booked months ahead.

Questions about dressing the men
Do you make outfits for the groom?
Yes — sherwanis, kurta sets, bandhgala-style jackets and Indo-western pieces for the groom, the brothers and the fathers, cut to measure in the same studio as the bridal work. Kurtas for boys too.
Do you make a full sherwani, made to measure?
Yes. Cut from his own measurements and hand-embroidered here, the same way as the bridal work — not a rental altered to fit and not bought in from a workshop. It is usually the reception piece, and it is often designed to sit alongside the bride’s colour or embroidery rather than chosen on its own.
Can the groom’s outfit be coordinated with the bride’s?
Yes, and it is the ordinary shape of an order here. A shared colour, or her embroidery echoed on his. It works because one person designs both and they are made in one room — an outfit bought separately can be matched to a colour, but not to a hand.
What do men wear to a sangeet?
A proper kurta set, a bandhgala-style jacket or an Indo-western piece in a colour from the family palette rather than the safe cream. The sangeet is where the men dress up, and where coordinating with the bride matters most.
When should the groom’s outfit be ordered?
With hers, not after it. The coordination is a design decision taken while both pieces are still on paper. A bridal order runs four weeks at most and the studio is booked months ahead from November to February.
Can it be made without the groom coming to the studio?
Yes. Measurements are taken on a WhatsApp video call of about twenty minutes and the finished piece is couriered — the same process that dresses families in the US, UK, Canada and Australia every season.
