The main focus of weddings is always the bride; however, the groom's dress needs some serious considerations too and not only the groom's clothes but his accessories too. Agapi Clothing is a store that sells men's and women's ethnic wears in Dallas, Texas, and they deal with numerous grooms and groomsmen who are trying to prepare for their wedding by finding the right outfits, and the main question that is asked there is not "Which kurta" but "What should I wear with it?" Here is a brief guide on the accessories that will elevate Indian dresses for groom and why trying the combinations in person, in Agapi Dallas store is better than guessing them from pictures of the products.

Find the Right Kurta First

The first thing to consider is the kurta itself as it sets the basis for all other accessories. Depending on the functions and the style of the wedding different kurta can be suitable and choosing the right kurta will make all further selections easier. You can think of kurta as a foundation while all the accessories you will choose later are meant to prove that you have made this combination intentionally and not because it was an impulse decision of the last week.

Adrian White Satin Kurta Set with Gold Zari can be a universal option. The fact that this kurta is white and made of satin fabric, and has gold zari decoration makes it versatile and it suits all kinds of day time and evening functions. Its neutral coloring will help you in case you want to try different accessories. Kairo Maroon Silk Kurta Set with Tonal Threadwork will be a perfect choice for the actual ceremony as it is traditional and rich. This kurta with its tonal threadwork won't distract guests' attention from your outfit. The third and the most unexpected choice for groom would be Noah Teal Blue Silk Kurta Set with Zari. This kurta is bright, festive and modern which will perfectly fit in the sangeet or reception.

Turbans (Safa): The Statement Piece

A turban (safa), one of the most prominent accessories in an Indian groom's wardrobe, makes the groom instantly look like a king and completes the wedding ensemble. There are different styles of turbans depending on the regions and traditions, so it is better to opt for the style that is common in your family rather than just going by what looks good in pictures. A complementary color of a turban to a kurta will be gold for Adrian white satin or jewel tones for Kairo maroon.

Stoles or Dupattas: Instant Elevators

An elegant way to elevate a wedding suit is a stole draped over one of the shoulders. Velvet or silk stoles are suitable for both day and night kurtas. The color of a stole shouldn't match that of a kurta exactly but should correspond to its fabric if you have a kurta made of light material such as cotton, a heavier velvet or silk stole will perfectly complement it and vice versa. If your kurta is made of cotton, silk stole will do and if the kurta is made of silk, it will be better to choose a velvet one.

Light georgette or chiffon steals can be used for daytime weddings, while heavy silk or velvet steals with embroidery are preferable for night kurtas. You can wear a stole draped over one shoulder for a more relaxed look or draped symmetrically over both shoulders for a more traditional one. In addition, it shouldn't distract the viewer's attention from the embroidery of a kurta, so if a kurta already has an elaborate zari or threadwork, choose a stole in a complementary color.

Footwear (Mojaris): Don't Overlook Them

Even though footwear is often the part that a groom doesn't pay attention to, mojaris or juttis play an important role in creating a wedding look. Mojaris or juttis made of leather or silk should complement the kurta and not blend in with it or clash. A gold or cream pair of mojaris will perfectly complement the Adrian white satin wedding kurta and a deep maroon or black pair Kairo maroon silk kurta.

Comfort is important, too grooms stand, walk, and dance all through the functions, therefore, it is recommended to wear and feel mojaris beforehand, instead of admiring them in pictures. Slightly tight mojaris that perfectly fit on a picture may become quite uncomfortable by the third wedding function.

Bracelets and Subtle Jewelry

One bracelet (kundan or beaded jewelry) will add sophistication to the look without going overboard. Men should follow the rule of restraint when it comes to jewelry: one accent item which matches the footwear or turban in terms of color is enough. For example, in case of wearing the Noah teal blue kurta, it is better to wear more jewelry as this outfit consists of plain fabric only.

How to Match Accessories to the Wedding Functions?

Each wedding function requires different kinds of accessories.

Here is a simple guide:

For daytime or mehndi functions — kurta in light colors, jewelry, airy stole, footwear

For the ceremony — kurta in rich colors, matching safa, silk stole, formal mojaris

For sangeet or reception — kurta in bolder colors (teal or jewel colors), shoes and accessories in bold colors

It is also recommended to consider what kind of clothes groomsmen or other members of the family wear. If they coordinate their outfits, it is better to decide on the color palette beforehand so that their turban, stoles, and kurtas do not look like completely different items in the pictures.

The Golden Rule of Groom Accessories

It is the same golden rule that was discussed above regarding accessories of wedding guests. One turban, one stole, pair of mojaris, and one piece of jewelry is enough for most wedding functions. Wearing more than those pieces will spoil groom's look. The accessories should match the groom's personality and kurta's colors and fabrics.

How Wearing the Whole Outfit in Dallas Will Change Everything

Accessory selection becomes much easier once you can view the whole set of clothes – kurta, stole, turban, and shoes under the same lighting conditions. Otherwise, one may select pieces of clothing based on pictures that make a gold zari look delicate while a color of the stole seems to fit better from another page. One should also consider fabric weight. The stole that looks great in silk version online will be heavy and stiff worn together with light and smooth satin kurta.

Agapi Clothing store located in Dallas offers all of that and even more. It lets the customers try out their kurta, stole, and shoes on themselves, choose right color combinations, and get perfect fitting of clothes instead of ordering different clothes from different websites and trying to make everything work on the day of the event.

If you are located in Dallas, Irving, Plano, or anywhere else in DFW area and have to attend some wedding function soon, it is recommended to check it out beforehand.

Final Thought

Adding accessories to Indian groom dress requires careful consideration. It is not about having more but rather about selecting the appropriate ones that match the kurta and meet the occasion. Perfectly chosen turban, stole, pair of mojaris, and just one element of jewelry will look much better than an overcrowded outfit.
