 Grooms can wear a sequinned blazer with black velvet pants like the actor Siddharth Malhotra wore for his reception. You can also opt for a black velvet tuxedo with embellished metal accents on it like Pulkit Samrat.

For a daring approach, brides can follow Deepika Padukone. She wore a floral lehenga with embroidered flowers and birds on it in pink, red, green and orange.
