Kurta pajama sets for the groom's father, brothers, uncles and closest friends, from the haldi to the baraat: woven-trim, brocade, jacquard and scroll embroidery. All ₹3,999, each with a churidar, sizes 38 to 44 online. Delhi's kurta shop since 1972.
In most families the groom wears a sherwani and the family around him wear kurtas. The job of the kurta is to sit one step below the groom: rich, dressed and photographable, but not competing with him. Get that right and the family photograph looks like a family. Get it wrong and the father looks underdressed beside his own son, or an uncle looks like a second groom.
We have dressed groom's families at our counter for decades, and the order of questions never changes. First the functions, then the colours, then the sizes. This collection is the dressier end of our range: all 19 sets are ₹3,999, each with a churidar, in woven-trim, brocade, jacquard and scroll embroidery.
A father wants to look settled, not flashy. Deep, calm colours do that best. The Navy Woven-Trim, the Deep Teal Woven-Trim and the Charcoal Grey Double-Scroll, all ₹3,999, carry a trim or tonal work that shows in photographs without pulling the eye. Add a plain jacket for the baraat if the evening is cold.
Brothers stand beside the groom in most of the pictures, so they carry more of the colour. The Maroon Dobby Loop-Button, the Emerald Gold Brocade Loop-Button and the Ochre Gold Brocade Loop-Button are the three we show first. Each has a clear colour and a surface that catches light at night. Coordinate rather than match: two brothers in maroon and emerald look better than two in the same piece. Our guide to the groom's brother's outfit for every function gives the full plan.
A bigger family needs a wider choice, so that nobody feels assigned a costume. The Olive Green Woven-Trim, the Rust Copper Woven-Trim and the Sage Sand Melange Double-Scroll give an easy middle: rich enough for the wedding, calm enough for the uncle who prefers to blend in.
The simplest way to make a big group look planned is to pick two or three colours and let each person choose within them. Maroon, deep green and gold works. Navy, teal and sand works. Ask each branch of the family to take one colour family and you get a cohesive group without anyone wearing the same piece.
The haldi calls for yellow, and two sets here fit it: the Golden Mustard Woven-Trim and the Pale Yellow Butter-Gold Loop-Button. For the sangeet and the baraat, move to the deeper pieces such as the Deep Maroon Scroll-Panel and the Mustard Gold Scroll-Panel. For the whole run of functions, read our haldi, mehendi and sangeet guide.
If the family is large, do not order one by one. Message us on WhatsApp with the functions, the dates and everyone's size. We put the sets together, show them to you on a video call from the shop floor and send everything in one order. Every size online lists the real chest, length, shoulder and sleeve, and you have seven days to exchange for another size at either shop.
Online, sizes run 38 to 44 today. Both our shops also carry plus sizes up to 6XL and kurtas for boys and babies, coming online soon, so one order can dress three generations.
