In How to Guide 0 comment

Weddings are a celebration of love, culture, and unforgettable moments - and every detail matters, right down to what the groom wears. Gone are the days when accessories were only for the bride - today’s modern groom knows that the right silver accessories can add thoughtful polish and personality to Mehendi and cocktail night looks without stealing the show.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to curate a subtle, stylish silver accessory edit that elevates your mehendi ensemble and cocktail attire - blending tradition with contemporary fashion seamlessly.

Why Silver Works for Pre-Wedding Festivities

Sterling silver is the perfect partner for pre-wedding rituals like the Mehendi and cocktail nights because it’s:

  • Versatile: silver’s cool tone pairs beautifully with both traditional Indian outfits and Indo-western styles.

  • Subtle yet striking: it reflects light without overpowering vibrant colours or rich textures.

  • Comfortable: lightweight and easy to wear throughout busy functions.

Whether you’re wearing a kurta pajama or bandhgala for mehendi, or a tailored blazer for cocktail night, introducing silver accents can elevate your look without going overboard.

Mehendi Night: Keep It Fresh and Effortless

Mehendi ceremonies are joyful, colourful, and laid-back - think sunshine, greenery, and laughter. This is your chance to add subtle details that complement the atmosphere.

1. Classic Silver Rings

A ring with minimal detailing is an essential piece for the groom who wants something stylish but not flashy.

2. Minimalist Stud Earrings (Optional)

If you like subtle bling, consider small silver or CZ stud earrings that catch the light without feeling too formal.

  • 925 Silver CZ Stone Huggie Earrings - compact, classy, and perfect for mehendi’s relaxed vibes.

3. Elegant Bracelet

A sleek bracelet adds charm without distracting from the main outfit.

  • Infinite Hearts Sterling Silver Bracelet - delicate design with modern flair.

 Style Tip: Pair a simple silver bracelet with light kurtas or bandhgalas in greens, yellows, or pastels. Silver brings out fresh, vibrant tones beautifully.

Cocktail Night: Gleam with Understated Elegance

Cocktail night is where style meets sophistication. Opt for sharper lines, refined textures, and accessories that reflect the mood of an evening celebration.

1. Subtle Pendants & Chains

A delicate chain or pendant can add a layer of depth to your silhouette without dominating your look.

  • House Of Diana Royal Blue & White Sterling Silver Pendant Set - elegant and refined, perfect paired with a sleek blazer or formal kurta.

2. Statement Rings

For cocktail night, a ring with a bit more design detail can be your statement without being loud.

  • Elegant Crossover CZ Band Ring in 925 Sterling Silver - classic with a twist, aligning with cocktail attire.

3. Subtle Wristwear

A fine silver bracelet with clean lines or geometric elements pairs well with blazers and cuffs.

  • Infinite Possibilities Bracelet in Rose Gold Plated 925 Silver with CZ - adds elegant sparkle that isn’t over­the­top.

Style Tip: Pair your accessories with richer evening colours like deep navy, charcoal, or black. Silver pops beautifully against darker palettes.

General Styling Tips for the Modern Groom

  • Balance is key: Let your accessories enhance your look - not compete with it.

  • Match metals: If you wear a watch or cufflinks, choose a metal palette (silver or steel) that complements your jewellery.

  • Keep it simple: Especially for events before the main wedding, less looks more.
