Weddings are where tradition meets trend — and what better way to express that than with a thoughtfully chosen ethnic ensemble. For the modern groom or guest looking to make an impression, picking the right kurta set for men is key. Below, we’ve curated how to lean into elegance with top-10 styles drawn from the collection at Veshbhoshaa (and beyond) that bring together heritage craft and contemporary cuts.
Why Kurta Sets for Men Matter at Weddings
Weddings bring together formal, festive and celebratory elements all at once. A well-chosen kurta set for men allows you to:
- honour Indian sartorial tradition
- enjoy comfort (important when the functions stretch long)
- stand out in a crowd with style-forward detailing
Veshbhoshaa itself emphasises that their collection of “kurta sets for men … are crafted to appeal to individuals connected to their Indian heritage and thoughtful of modern style.”
Using these as anchors, here are ten styles that span the wedding wardrobe from Mehendi to Reception.
Top 10 Styles to Consider
(Each style below you can find echoes of in the Veshbhoshaa collection.)
1. Luxury Banarasi Kurta Sets for the Main Ceremony
If you’re the groom or the spotlight demands it, go for a banarasi kurta set: rich weaving, subtle shine, grandeur without over-the‐top bling. Veshbhoshaa calls Banarasi sets “reinventing style from the weaving techniques of Varanasi … ideal for a wedding, reception, or any occasion that requires understated grandeur.”
Tip: Choose deep jewel tones (emerald, navy, maroon) and pair with churidar or silk trousers plus a light shawl or stole.
2. Handcrafted Kurta Set for Signature Detailing
Want craftsmanship to speak for you? A handcrafted kurta set — featuring hand-embroidery, delicate threadwork, custom textiles — offers modern elegance with artisanal roots. For example, there are “Bluesaanchi Handcrafted Cotton Kurta Pajama Set for Men” options in the Veshbhoshaa collection.
Tip: Soft pastel shades or muted metallics work well for day functions like Sangeet or Haldi.
3. Patani Kurta – Bold, Structured & Stylish
When you want to make a confident, masculine statement, the patani kurta (or “Pathani Kurta”) is your answer. Veshbhoshaa describes it as “straight cuts, a relaxed fit, bold-traditional” — ideal for festival evenings or mehendi nights.
Tip: Choose monochrome or deep matte colours; pair with traditional mojris and minimal accessories.
4. Pastel Handcrafted Kurta Set for Daytime Elegance
For a daytime wedding occasion (like a brunch reception or Mehendi), a light pastel handcrafted kurta set works beautifully: comfortable, stylish, and photogenic.
Tip: Go for breathable cotton or a silk-blend; keep accessories minimal and shoes light.
5. Rich Jewel-Tone Banarasi Kurta Set for Reception
For the evening reception, amplify your look: choose a banarasi kurta set in a jewel-tone like emerald green or deep burgundy, with elegant zari or jacquard work.
Tip: Pair with a contrasting (or matching) shawl and traditional footwear for full effect.
6. Minimal Embroidered Kurta Set for Wedding Guest Charm
If you’re attending rather than starring, opt for a subtle embroidered kurta set. It reflects refined taste without overpowering.
Tip: Charcoal grey, navy, or off-white with light embroidery are choices that navigate the line between formal and festive.
7. Ivory & Gold Handcrafted Kurta Set for Elegant Appeal
A creamy ivory base with gold detailing gives you understated luxury. A handcrafted kurta set in this palette works especially well under evening lighting.
Tip: Keep-toned accessories to let the outfit shine — gold cufflinks, beige loafers.
8. Black & Metallic Patani Kurta Set for After-Party or Modern Rituals
For modern wedding rituals, like a DJ night or after-party event, a patani kurta in black or metallic shades elevates your look with attitude. Veshbhoshaa highlights Pathani as bold and traditional.
Tip: Pair with sleek leather footwear and minimal jewellery so the cut stands out.
9. Contemporary Fusion Kurta Set – Modern Take for Trend-Savvy Groom
A fusion look might combine a classic kurta set with a modern twist — e.g., asymmetrical hem, smart jacket overlay, or interesting textures.
Tip: Make sure the fit is tailored, and patterns or textures don’t distract from the silhouette.
10. Soft Linen or Cotton Handcrafted Kurta Set for Morning Rituals
For early-morning ceremonies (such as Haldi) or warm weather weddings, a breathable handcrafted kurta set in linen/cotton lets you stay comfortable and stylish.
Tip: Choose light tones like beige, mint, or sky blue and minimalistic detailing.
How to Choose the Right Style
Here are quick decision-tips to pick the perfect kurta set for the occasion:
- Match the occasion: For grand evening events → Banarasi or rich hand-embroidery. For daytime or guest looks → lighter handcrafted or minimal embroidery.
- Fit matters: Whether it’s a patani kurta’s straight cut or a more relaxed handcrafted set, make sure it fits you well.
- Fabric & comfort: Warm climate? Go breathable cotton/linen. Evening event? Richer silk or blends. Veshbhoshaa emphasises “fabric quality: from breathable cotton to rich silks and woven textiles.”
- Colour & lighting: Deep jewel tones or metallics pop under lights; pastels or neutrals work well for daylight.
- Accessories wisely: Let your outfit shine — minimal with handcrafted sets, bold with patani or banarasi for added effect.
