Today the Indian groom is no different from the Indian bride in his a 00004000 ttention to detail regarding the clothes he will be wearing on his very special day. The traditional, ethnic Indian groom’s wear includes the sherwani, jodhpuri suit and kurta pyjama. You can also see some grooms dressed in the western corporate suit.
The sherwani is a long jacket usually of knee length or longer with embroidery on it giving it a classy ethnic look. It is buttoned up in front and has a Nehru (round) collar. The Sherwani is worn with churidhar pyjamas (type of tights) or jhodpurs (breeches) instead of pants. These are usually in a colour in contrast to that of the sherwani. Many a time you will see the groom also sporting a stole that complements the rest of the attire.
The jodhpuri suit is similar to a western suit, the difference being in the jacket. The jacket has a Nehru collar and is buttoned up in front. It is worn with normal trousers matching the colour of the jacket. There is usually embroidery on the collar and in the centre along the button line. Sometimes the groom wears a round neck top either in the same colour or in a contrasting colour to that of the jacket.
The kurta pyjama includes the kurta (top) and pyjama (bottom). The kurta is a long top. Earlier the length of the kurta was worn to the knee but now-a-days you see the groom sporting a calf length kurta. It is worn over the head with slits on either side from the waist below giving freedom for movement. Embroidery work makes the kurtas look rich. The pyjamas could be those that look like tights or a looser version and they are in a contrasting colour to that of the kurta. The kurta pyjama too is accessorised with a stole in a colour that complements the outfit.
Traditionally the colour that the groom wears is off white. But today with the huge influence of the Indian film industry, the groom is moving to darker colours like maroon, dark blue and even black. The fabric used could be anything from pure silk, brocade to terry wool.
The jutis or mojaries (slip on ethnic shoes) complement the ethnic dresses well. They are usually made of the same material as the jackets and have similar kind of embroidery on them. It is common for the groom to wear head gear or a turban called Safas during the ceremony.
All the groom’s dresses, be it the sherwani, the jodphuri suit or the kurta pyjama, are usually made to order to fit him perfectly. He can get these designed and made from boutiques who specialise in wedding or if he can afford it from designers. The groom definitely needs to give time, sometimes months for his dress to be ready.

QUESTION:
How would you feel about attending a casual clothes wedding?
Literally casual clothes – the bride is probably going to wear jeans; the groom’s planning on attending in shorts (UK shorts, not US which I believe is underwear).
mommybourne: no one’s getting drunk in the barn or riding the aisle on a tractor – they just want their day to be about who they really are, not who they can dress up to be. I think it’s a great reflection of them and their relationship.
Debbie: I have family members who care. A lot.-

It’s their day, so it’s their rules. It wouldn’t bother me one bit!

QUESTION:
Why are the wedding clothes so expensive?
If I have a fiance, I am going to save money now. You think it is a good idea?-
ANSWER:
Because weddings are a billion business. Many women begin dreaming of their wedding day when they are little girls. Women are willing to pay as much as they have to in order to make that dream a reality.
I think it is definitely a good idea to start saving as soon as you get engaged.

QUESTION:
Why do Hispanics dress their baby girls up in wedding clothes all the time?-
ANSWER:
Why do you care? not to sound rude or anything. I am Hispanic and my mother would dress me up all fancy looking and very presentable because in our tradition when we attend any special events it seems right to have their children look as presentable as the elders and parents, the females of the family would have to look as formal as the mother while the males would have to look well as their fathers, it’s passed down by generations, then again many Hispanic families are different.

You can’t ask a best friend; you must ask the hero you selected (probably identified on the map).

QUESTION:
Were can I find the flower girl and ring bearer clothes for my wedding?
I dont need actual expensive ones. My wedding dressed cost with tax. lol. I just need a little white and black dress (even if its found at walmart) and the ring bearer needs all black clothes. She can be a 5T or a 6. He can be 3T or 4T-
ANSWER:
There are several things you can try. First, check at Wal-Mart or other discount retailer you never know what may be available. Check the second-hand stores and flea markets. They always have these types of clothes. Check with other couples you know and see if they can give you information. We still have the “little” tux that our 3 year old wore in our oldest son’s wedding as the ring bearer. He will never wear it again (he is 8 now) but it was simply too precious to part with! And last but not least…check Ebay or other places on the net. You never know what you will find. Good Luck!

Jacqueline Morgan?What do you think? I want something that’s a name & sentimental to me & dedicated to my mum. What better way than her name?
What do you think when you’d hear that brand name?
-
ANSWER:
Because it is not a common name, it certainly is a good one for a business. The name Jacqueline is so rich and reeks class so it would be a wonderful name to include in your business. Especially for the wedding related industry. Good luck to you.I have been self employed for quite some time and I can tell you that the single most thing that will keep you in business for a very long time is customer service, so along with great products, give the utmost best customer service you possibly can and demand it from your employees. If people can imagine a smile on your face when you answer the phone, they will want to do business with you.
I love the name, keep it, it would make your mum proud. Again, good luck.

QUESTION:
We are having a destination wedding, should we go to dinner in our wedding clothes or change?It’s just the two of us and the package includes a horse drawn carriage ride to dinner and back. The carriage is a decorated “wedding carriage” So it seems like it is still kind of wedding day thing, especially since there is not a reception.
-
ANSWER:
i personally would change, you can splash out on a outfit for the evening, i got married last year and i wore my dress for the wedding and the lunch after, but for the evening i wore a beautiful ivory skirt suit, it had beads and sequins and other pretty details on it, so i still looked like the belle of the ball. plus you can still have your bouquet with you… but you get to be comfy.
congrats on your wedding….

QUESTION:
What clothes are appropriate for kids for a summer wedding at night?
We’re going to a wedding in atlanta. A suit for little kids seems kind of cheesy. But would khaki’s be to casual? What about seersucker pants, but what kind of shirt?-
ANSWER:
Khaki’s are great for weddings on little guys!Our wedding is coming up this July, and our little two year old son is our ring bearer. He’ll be sporting baggy khaki shorts (almost kind of ‘skater style’…the ones that are longer than normal shorts), with a button down white shirt (sleeves rolled up), topped off with an orange tie and mohawk.
Basically, any kind of button down shirt (whether short or long sleeved) or any nice polo top is just fine paired with khakis.

QUESTION:
Is it normal for a bride to tell a best man what clothes to buy and wear for a wedding?
My brother’s getting married. Both my other brother and myself are sharing the best man duty. My brothers wife to be has told us that she wants us to buy from a certain store, a shirt, pants, vest, shoes, belt, and a tie. She picked out the items and sent us the links, but we think these clothes are ugly and will never wear them again, so it seems like a waste. Is this common and standard? Would it be inappropriate to be honest with her and ask if we can wear something else?-
ANSWER:
Yes, it’s common and standard.If you hate the outfits, you should bring it up politely with your brother. And he may very well tell you, “I know they’re ugly, but this is what Karen wants, so please suck it up and buy the pants.”
And then, you can either be a good sport and buy the outfits, or you can tell your brother he needs a new best man and probably hurt his feelings really bad.
Women have to buy ugly bridesmaid’s dresses all the time. Welcome to my world.

QUESTION:
need info wedding clothes?
who designed wedding clothes ? why is white dress (on the bride) so common on a wedding day ? i need info about wedding dresses and which type of wedding dresses are popular ? a formall dress a ballgown a Shantung etc.-
ANSWER:
White is a traditional western colour for a bride to wear because it represents her purity, as traditionally she is supposed to be a virgin. There are hundreds if not thousands of designers that make wedding gowns, you can have anything from a super casual two piece suit, to a simple beachy dress, to a huge extravagant gown depending on your taste, the type of wedding you’re having and what looks good on your body. Whats in right now is drop waisted strapless gowns, and gowns with colour, red is a popular choice right now.In India white is actually a bad luck colour at a wedding, as white is a colour of mourning, much like in western culture black is a bad luck colour at a wedding. If you want a combination of the two cultures, a big wedding gown in a nice dark red would be a great way of doing it, or you can try a sari in white, or maybe a Komono. It’s your wedding have fun with it!

ANSWER:
Indian Wedding SuitsWedding is an occasion when self-indulging is not only allowed but is rather encouraged. Indian grooms are no exception to this self-indulgence. They love wearing something that reflects their style and at the same time sets them apart from the entire crowd. A lot of diversity can be found in the Indian groom ethnic clothing. North Indian grooms dress up in a sherwani with churidar that is teamed up with a turban. In South India, grooms wear a dhoti with a serene kurta for their wedding. In Western India, grooms blend ethnic attire with designer ensembles to look suave and yet Indian. Jodhpuri suits are also a rage in certain parts. So why should you be left behind? Check out the classic wedding ethnic range at Indianwedding.com and select an exclusive piece to bedeck yourself for your lovely bride. Don’t forget to select matching shoes, also available at Indianwedding.com.

QUESTION:
Going to a wedding – should I buy shoes or clothes first?
Should I find a great pair of shoes and find the outfit that goes with the shoes or buy the outfit first and find the shoes that go with the out fit?
Not easy for me to find shoes. Clothes are easier to find.
About the shoes – I have wide feet and it is a pain in the butt to find shoes to fit. I am scared that I may have this kick ____ outfit and have to wear it with sneakers – lol-
ANSWER:
I would say shoes first since they seem to be the harder find for you (I am the same way).As for the clothes you can always find some suitable separates for the occasion if you can’t find that great outfit in time. One things for sure if your feet hurt for the evening, no matter what kick a** outfit you have on, you will be uncomfortable.
Here’s to stepping out!

QUESTION:
What is the symbolism of the “friend without wedding clothes”?
Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying:“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.
“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
—Matthew 22:1-14, NIV
So couldn’t “religion” be an example of a friend without wedding clothes?-
ANSWER:
It’s trying to “take Heaven by force”Where there is love there can be no secrets but some try to steal power without becoming pure and loving.
Remember the Kingdom of Heaven is within us.
He wasn’t chosen because he didn’t choose. He just pretended to.
Edit..Religion is an institution. It contains truth and distortion. One distortion is that Heaven comes at the end of your life. Only some get to go. Trying to pass this off as truth has led people not to happiness but judgment.
But this can be corrected and that is happening now, which will bring greater understanding and peace.

QUESTION:
Are paper table clothes acceptable at a wedding?
what items would you suggest on the table/s. Should the tales be separate small ones, or one large rectangle with the bride and groom in the middle at the front? Help as I hve never done this before!-
ANSWER:
I don’t see why not. People can be so snotty about having everything ‘just so’ at a wedding, yet I feel that they are really losing sight of what’s really important.I’m keeping everything ‘communal’ at my reception, with the one big table and us in the middle on one side. We are keeping it pretty informal and just find it so important to have everyone we care about in the same space, rather than seperated off. Convention sucks x
Also, there’s a difference between low class and low key, with low key often being much classier x

QUESTION:
In the parable of the wedding banquet, what do you think the “wedding clothes” represent?
“11″But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12′Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless. ” (Matthew 22:11-12)
Not quite, Mabin
Just because I like to exchange points of view. I don’t “know” the answer because I studied, but just out of revelation. I want to compare with what other people learned
Thank you Sandi – see also:Ro 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
Col 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
———–
I believe that the man thrown in the darkness was one of those to whom the LORD said:
“‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”-
ANSWER:
Amen. This is a very important kind of question that you have asked, and I thank you for asking it since it will serve to reinforce in me, the need to continue to address this matter of the ” wedding garment” before the Lord.As believers we are those who have been clothed with Christ as our Righteousness. He is our covering and our bold access before God. This Righteousness is very much Positional and puts us in right standing with God the Father.
Yet this wedding garment seems to be something different and we can find it’s significance in Revelation.
In Rev 19:8
And it was given to her, that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean, for the linen is the “righteousnesses” of the saints”This Righteousnesses is plural.. and are not the righteousness of Christ that we receive for our salvation. Christ as our Robe of Righteousness is what we receive for our salvation and is objective and enables us to meet the requirements of a righteous God.
Here sis, in Revelation the “righteousnesses ” of the saints are those who take Christ as their subjective righteousness.. that is.. these are the righteous acts of the believers. This is the ” inner garment” the ” wedding garment”
Phil 3:9
And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness,which is out of the law, but that which is out of faith in Christ, the righteousness which is out of God and based on faith.We see a picture of this ” Wedding garment” in the book of Psalms. And it is made up of two garments. One outer and one inner.
Psa 43:13-14
The King’s daughter is all glorious with royal abode., Her garment is a woven work inwrought with Gold.
She shall be led to the King in embroided clothing,. The virgins behind her, her companions, Will be brought to You”So we see ” garment woven with inwrought gold” and one of ” embroided clothing”
This subjective righteousness corrisponds to this verse that you cited in Matt 22:11-12 and it is important to us as believers to know that the Lord needs to ” wrought and embroid ” His righteous nature into our very being.
This is the embroiding, stitching work of the Spirit within us day by day through all kinds of situations. Where we are not only righteous before God through the Lord, but where this Lord has been given a free way in our inner being, to become our subjective righteousness. Where what we do, our very acts are this Christ as the Righteous One being lived out from us.This is a very precious truth and the Lord dearly needs to address this matter of our wedding garment’s preparation before His coming. What Christ has done for us to stand before God is something that we have received freely, but this inner working of the Spirit takes our cooperation day by day. May we be so given to allow Him full access into all our hearts, that He will saturate us with all that Christ is in His righteous nature.
We do not want to be like this ” friend” who had to be cast into the outer darkness because he did not have the proper wedding garment on. He assumed that it was only the righteousness of Christ ( Robe) that was enough, and did not allow the Lord to work deep into his being, where Christ was his ” subjective inner” righteousness ( Wedding Garment). May we heed this warning in the Word of God.Grace be with you sister.. ty again for this reminder.
In Christ

QUESTION:
Are there any ways that I can wear my old favourites (clothes) and still look fresh at a wedding?
I don’t want to look like I’ve worn them before amongst the same crowd.-
ANSWER:
Try to combine the different articles of clothing in a new, fun way.Do your hair differently, or your makeup.
If you are wearing a dress you’ve worn before, maybe you could just purchase new shoes, or a new sweater to go with it. That makes it partially new, partially old.
And honestly, just go in with confidence. Who cares if you’ve worn it before? You look good in it, you like it, you look nice for the occasion…and you didn’t spend a ton of money to make it happen.

QUESTION:
What do you think about a costume party for a wedding?
My boyfriend (I say boyfriend because he is planning on proposing in 6 months and so is not officially my fiance) and I are planning on making our wedding in October 2010 a costume party. We plan on having pirate themed wedding clothes but our guests (figuring on about 100 guests) will be able to wear what they want (they will be asked to keep it tasteful, it is a wedding after all)-
ANSWER:
I think it would be fun! I really love Halloween and there are lots of fun things that you can use for decor, etc. for a Halloween wedding.
You will have to figure out how to word your invitations in regards to keeping it tasteful…and just be warned, even though you say “keep it tasteful” some people still won’t get it. Just like when people put “adult only reception” on the invitations, yet there are usually some parents who will bring the kids anyone.
I think it will be a good time – as long as you guys enjoy it and it makes you happy then there is nothing wrong with that.

QUESTION:
Is there any Christian doctrine that suggests that St. John helps in preparing the Saints wedding clothes?
For the Marriage Supper of the Lamb?Rev3:18 I counsel you to buy of me gold tried n the fire that you may be rich & white raiment that thou may be clothed…
And in the Gospels, one person at the Marriage Supper isn’t wearing his wedding clothes & is thrown out into outer darkness.
So why didn’t he wear wedding clothes to the Marriage Supper?
Thanks Sovereign, I read that the wedding garment was put on over the regular clothes. The Father is who had this done. So? And they made their garments white by the blood of the Lamb. So? Jesus shed blood is red & washes us white as snow.
And the wedding over garment is a white robe.I have been having visions of this type of thing & haven’t understood it. St. John is part of it.
St. John isn’t a homosexual.
