What to wear

What the groom wears

  1. South Asian weddings

    For the mehndi and sangeet, a kurta with a waistcoat, or a light-coloured bandhgala. The sherwani is for the baraat and the ceremony, with churidar, safa and mojari. For the reception, a bandhgala in Midnight Barathea, or a tuxedo.

  2. Church and civil weddings

    By day, a three-piece suit in navy or grey; a waistcoat or a finer fabric helps the groom stand out. If the invitation says black tie, wear a tuxedo. A shawl collar is softer than a peak lapel.

  3. Nigerian weddings

    For the traditional ceremony, the Agbada, in a colour chosen to go with the bride’s. The Nigerian kaftan for the days around it. For the white wedding, a suit or a tuxedo.

  4. Planning several outfits

    Plan every outfit at one appointment, so the colours work together in the photos. Bring samples of the bride’s outfits, and we match the fabric and thread.

Questions

Wedding & groom: common questions

Where can I get a groom suit made in Dubai?

At The Bespoke Corner in Business Bay. Groom suits, tuxedos, sherwanis, bandhgalas and the Agbada, each cut by hand and made to your measurements.

Should the groom wear a sherwani or a bandhgala?

Often both. The sherwani falls to the knee and suits the ceremony. The bandhgala ends at the hip and suits the sangeet and the reception.

Can you make outfits for the groomsmen too?

Yes. Each groomsman is measured and fitted on his own pattern, in a fabric you choose together. Book early, so every fitting is done before the day.
