Wedding Trends for the Men in the House
Men and Jewellery
Men wearing jewelry is increasingly common in modern weddings, with grooms pairing sparkling accessories with their wedding attire. While jewelry has recently become fashionable for men, it represents a return to ancient Indian tradition. Kings, emperors, and members of royal courts regularly wore rings, bracelets, stacked necklaces, toe-rings, and clip-on earrings. Puligoru, or tiger claw jewelry, represents traditional South Indian design and features lockets made of gold with embedded gemstones.
Saathlada & Temple Jewellery
Saathlada translates to 'seven strands' and comprises seven pearl strands, each with gold pendants featuring precious stones. This jewelry style originates from the Hyderabadi Nizams and currently appears extensively in both women's and groom wedding jewelry. Temple jewelry draws inspiration from ornaments decorating Hindu deity idols in South India. Simple chains or gold bead strands paired with substantial temple pendants are popular current choices for grooms.
Layered Pearls and Beads
Layered pearls and beads necklaces represent the most current trend for grooms, typically featuring four or more layered strands of pearls, ruby, or emerald beads without pendants. Their versatile design complements various wedding outfits including sherwanis, kurtas, and wedding suits.
