• Low-quality fabric – As said earlier wedding is the biggest day of everyone’s life. So to make this day the most special one, you need to stick to the quality of your wedding attire. Fabric plays a vital role in the presence of your sherwani. A poor quality fabric may make it look ugly. Also, make sure to select skin-friendly fabrics to avoid the harsh effects of irritating clothing materials on your skin.
• A mismatch with fiancé’s attire – This suggestion is especially for the grooms. Ideally, your sherwani should go well with your bride-to-be’s wedding outfit. Avoid a mismatch and go for either a perfectly matched or elegantly contrast colour in sherwanis.
• Wrong colour and design selection – Though you need to consider your partner’s outfit, don’t overdo it with a wrong colour selection. The colour and design patterns should go well with your skin tone and body structure.
• Wrong fittings are too bad too – While you shop carefully considering the colour and the designs of the outfit, you need to keep in mind that best-fitted attire will help you look stunning and not the ill-fitted ones. If the fitting is not perfect, best of the materials and most beautiful designs can fail your special apparel.

Weddings in India hold a special place in everyone’s heart. It’s once in a lifetime kind of experience. Keeping all these points in mind, you need to select the best suitable sherwani to have that splendid look on your royal wedding day.
