Nailing The Wedding Colour Wheel
Man's World|June 2022
As more and more celebrity weddings happen in the blink of an eye, we couldn’t help but notice the colour palette of grooms going from subtle to subtler — what’s leading to these pastel hues? Is it a fear of experimenting? Fashion stalwarts weigh in

Nailing The Wedding Colour Wheel

Our Instagram feed was recently beaming with wedding pictures of popular Bollywood couples like Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa, Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif, and the adorable Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Apart from keeping a close eye on their guest lists, what also made these shaadi sagas beautiful was how these couples were announcing their D-day by sharing their most mesmerising photos from the event on social media. This gave us a chance to notice one big wedding trend that is not going anywhere - the art of playing with subtle colours by grooms.

Though grooms of recent times like to match their wedding attire with their better halves, most of them opted for safe colours like ivories and other pastel hues.

Rajkummar Rao, who tied the knot with his longtime sweetheart Patralekhaa on November 15 last year, wore a silk kurta and churidar from designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee. He impeccably paired his kurta with an embroidered raw silk ivory jacket that has gold plated Bengal Tiger buttons.

Vicky Kaushal, on the other hand, was handsome in an ivory silk sherwani with intricate marori embroidery, silk kurta, and churidar for his December wedding with actor girlfriend Katrina Kaif. His attire featured iconic handcrafted gold-plated Bengal Tiger buttons again from Sabyasachi Mukherjee's collection. Also, the shawl that Kaushal wore was a tussar georgette featuring zari marori embroidered pallu and borders.

Ranbir Kapoor, too, looked charming as he complimented his lady Alia Bhatt in an intricately embroidered silk ivory sherwani from Sabyasachi with a layered pearl necklace, a matching white organza saafa with a stone-studded accessory on it, and a shawl with zari marori embroidery for his April wedding.
