Introduction: Where Tradition Meets the Runway
Every Indian groom today wants more than just a wedding outfit he wants presence. A silhouette that commands attention, craftsmanship that honors legacy, and styling that looks like it’s stepped straight off the runway. And that entrance? It begins with inspiration from the world where tradition and high fashion meet.
At The Rajwada, we don’t just create outfits. We build legacies. For grooms who believe their wedding attire should feel as grand as the moment itself, our collections capture the elegance of Indian royalty refined for the modern runway-inspired groom.
The Rise of the Runway Groom
Weddings today aren’t just rituals they’re experiences. And as grooms become more involved in curating their looks, sherwanis have evolved from ceremonial staples to fashion-forward statements.
Grooms now want to be more than present they want to be remembered. From tailored shoulders to intricate threadwork, their style needs to feel personal, bold, and unforgettable. And that’s exactly where The Rajwada delivers taking inspiration from designer runways and translating it into timeless elegance.
From Runway to Mandap: The 3 Pillars of Groom Styling
1. Cut That Commands
Structured tailoring isn’t just about fit it’s about stature. A sherwani must frame the body, create clean lines, and enhance posture. It should feel regal without being restrictive.
2. Craft That Tells a Story
The embroidery isn’t just decorative it’s cultural storytelling. Whether it’s the hand-embroidered motifs of the Mehr Ivory Sherwani Set or the tone-on-tone work seen in Ivory Blossom Sherwani, each detail speaks to a rich design language refined over centuries.
3. Confidence That Completes It
You can wear the finest fabric, but if you don’t feel like the groom, it shows. The Rajwada crafts its ensembles not just to look extraordinary but to make you feel extraordinary. Because real luxury begins with self-assurance.

Accessories That Seal the Look
No runway-inspired outfit is complete without the right styling. Here's how to elevate your sherwani to its full potential
Safas: Choose complementing or contrasting tones. Light fabrics with subtle brocade add depth.
Footwear: Handcrafted mojaris or juttis in suede or jacquard preferably embroidered.
Jewellery: A single-layer necklace or statement brooch can turn a good look into a signature one.
Dupattas: Drape with intention. One shoulder or cross-body works best depending on the sherwani cut.
Why This Isn’t Just an Outfit—It’s a Moment
Years from now, you won’t remember every detail of the day but your photos will. And what you wear in them will define your legacy. It will speak of your choices, your values, and your moment.
That’s why The Rajwada doesn’t follow trends. It refines tradition. With craftsmanship passed down through generations and collections designed for today’s discerning groom, every sherwani becomes a memory stitched in time.
