Once you’ve sorted out your fabulous bridal outfit, you have the perfect opportunity to make a real style statement with the rest of your wedding principals – from your groom to bridesmaid to your parents.

When it comes to the groom you need to decide on a style which fully compliments the bride’s outfit – will it be the traditional two or three-piece suit, or the increasingly popular choices of sherwani, kurta pyjamas, or jodhpuri suit?

It’s a fact that more and more grooms are putting their Armani suits aside in favour of an ethnic look which can ooze style and sophistication. You can also decide whether to buy or take up the full hire options now available with some specialist suppliers.

With the best man, you need to bear in mind his body type, complexion of skin, and budget. His outfit should compliment the theme – go for a single colour in different styles or choose a style that easily identifies him as the best man and make sure he’s comfortable with your choice.

Parents need to find something special, and should start deciding what colours they’d like as soon as possible. Generally mothers are very keen on their silk sarees, while fathers tend to get left behind in the rush but shouldn’t be overlooked – something dashing and smart must be found. Remember there’s a lot of focus on the fathers throughout Indian weddings - including the cameras!
