Your wedding outfit needs early planning. A sherwani looks best when the design, fit, and accessories are locked well before the big day. Use this guide to stay ahead and avoid last-minute stress.
1. Start With Online Research
Begin by building a clear visual idea of what you want.
- Look for sherwani designs on Pinterest. Create a small board of 8–12 looks.
- Check Instagram for current trends, real-wedding photos, and designer pages.
- Compare styles: classic, Indo-western, velvet, raw silk, embroidered, or minimal.
This step helps you enter stores with clarity instead of confusion.
2. Visit Multiple Shops
Do not finalize on your first visit.
- Explore at least 3–4 stores.
- Compare fabric quality, embroidery work, fit, and pricing.
- Ask each store about rental options vs. purchase options, delivery time, and alteration policies.
A little extra time spent here prevents regret later.
3. Finalize Early
Wedding season increases rush in all stores. Delivery timelines and trial slots get delayed.
A simple rule:
- Finalize your sherwani 1 month before your wedding date.
- Schedule your first trial at least 10 days before the wedding.
- Stay in touch with the shop and ask for updates every few days during the final weeks.
4. Confirm Every Accessory Clearly
List all accessories included with your sherwani. Ask the shop to write them down on the order form. Confirm:
- Saafa: cloth saafa or ready-made?
- Dupatta: colour, fabric, design, embroidery.
- Katar
- Kalangi
- Mala
- Juti: same fabric as sherwani or generic? Round or pointed? Exact size?
- Any extra charges or refundable deposits for rental pieces.
Clarity removes confusion on your wedding morning.
5. Keep Communication Active
Stay connected with the store.
- Call for updates.
- Reconfirm trial dates.
- Recheck final delivery timing.
Small reminders help avoid last-minute errors, especially during peak season.
When you start early, confirm every detail, and stay in regular contact with the shop, your sherwani, whether rented or purchased, arrives on time, fits perfectly, and lets you enjoy your wedding day without stress.
