Top Styling Mistakes Brides Make

1. Ignoring the Venue or Theme when choosing outfits

Even the most beautiful wedding outfit can feel out of place if it doesn’t align with the wedding theme or venue. A heavily embroidered wedding outfit will look uncomfortable and out of place at a beach wedding, while pastel florals might look dull and underwhelming at a grand palace wedding. It is important to consider the wedding theme, décor and the overall vision for the wedding when styling your wedding look.

2. Over/Under Accessorizing

Accessories are the little details that can elevate your wedding look. Too many or too less accessories can either overpower and distract from your look or look incomplete. Wearing heavy jewelry, with layers of neck and head pieces on a heavily embroidered wedding outfit can make you appear loud and messy. The key to a great wedding style is finding the right balance in the number of accessories you choose.

3. Not prioritizing your comfort

While it may be tempting to follow the latest wedding trends, never compromise your comfort. Outfits that are uncomfortable like a gown that hinders movement or pointed heels that are uncomfortable to walk in can hinder you from enjoying the festivities freely and the discomfort may also be visibly prominent in your photos.

4. Not Coordinating outfits with the groom

When the bride and groom’s outfits completely clash in color, style or design, the mismatch can look visually jarring in the wedding photos. If the bride is wearing the traditional maroon lehenga while the groom is wearing a sapphire blue sherwani, the contrast may be too stark. Coordinating the outfits with embroidery patterns, color-matching and adding complementary accessories to create a cohesive and visually-appealing look.

5. Wearing outfits that don’t suit your body type

One of the most common wedding styling mistakes is choosing outfits that don’t suit your body type. Before choosing a wedding dress, you need to know your body type. Once you are aware of your body type, you can choose a dress with a silhouette that looks flattering on you and highlights your body’s best features. An A-line dress may not look flattering on someone with a Pear body shape while a princess style dress would suit only someone with a rectangle body shape.

Groom Styling Pitfalls to Watch For

1. Not giving importance to grooming

While your wedding outfit is the canvas, grooming, and the perfect styling are the brushstrokes that can turn your wedding look into a masterpiece. Grooming for grooms includes skin care, hair care, and beard grooming. An elegantly tailored sherwani won’t standout if your hair isn’t neat, beard isn’t trimmed or if your skin looks dull. Grooming adds the charm to your outfit, making you look stylish.

2. Mismatched styling with the Bride

When the bride and groom’s outfits completely clash in color, style or design, the mismatch can look visually jarring in the wedding photos. Coordinating your outfits doesn’t mean you need to wear the exact same color, but you can complement each other by choosing colors, fabrics, designs or accessories that creates a cohesive look. For example, a piece of embroidery from the bride’s lehengas can be added to the groom’s sherwani for a harmonious look.

3. Over/Under Accessorizing

Accessories help to add depth, dimension and personality to your look. Whether you prefer a classic, traditional sherwani or a modern vibe, there are groom accessories that suit every taste. An elegant brooch or necklace can give you a royal charm, while a well-matched safa can elevate your look. Wearing too many accessories at once, not wearing enough or wearing mismatched accessories can make your look appear overcrowded, messy or incomplete.

4. Ignoring Comfort and Fit

While it is important to looks stylish and dapper as the groom, it is also important to be comfortable. Wearing outfits that are tight, don’t fit correctly or have stiff fabrics might make your experience as a groom uncomfortable and unpleasant. Besides the clothes, wearing comfortable accessories and footwear is also important as that too can cause you to be uncomfortable. This can hinder you from enjoying the festivities freely and the discomfort may also be visibly prominent in your wedding photos.

5. Wearing Outfits That Aren’t Photo Friendly

Certain color like neon, light golds or white-on-white can make you look washed out under the harsh photography lights.  Embellishments or sparkles too can cause glares in the camera. Lighting can change the appearance of colors and textures, significantly affecting your wedding photographs. Before you finalize your wedding look, test your outfit in both indoor lights and natural sunlight. This will help you assess how your look will turn up in the photos.

Coordinated wedding outfits as a family significantly affects the visual harmony of an Indian wedding. A well-coordinated family wardrobe not only makes the group photos look stunning but it also reflects the unity and joy of the occasion. Not choosing cohesive color combinations can make the wedding photos look loud and disconnected. Considerably styling each family member is also important as mixed style vibes like a casual kurta with formal evening gown can look messy and out of place.

Accessories can act as connecting elements that can tie everyone’s looks together, wearing accessories that clash with the outfit textures can cause reflection issues in photos. Host a trial to wear the outfits as a group to make sure the outfit fits correctly and the colors and patterns look good together especially for photogenic moments. Avoid wearing outfits, designs or colors that clash with the bride and groom, subtle coordination is the key to ensure everyone looks cohesive without looking overly matched.
