Groomsmen's Guide To The Mehndi Ceremony
A Manifest-approved guide to mastering every look—one celebration at a time.
Guide to making it a red carpet moment!The Brands
The big fat Indian wedding is not just a red-carpet moment for the brides and their squads but just as important for the men. A chance for the groom and the groom squad to show that they have also got style and glamour, only a different kind. But for those in the groom squad who want to make a style statement but don't know where to start, we have got you covered, one function at a time.
While every moment during a wedding is just as memorable as all the others, there are some defining moments that make or break the vibe during an Indian wedding, and it is crucial to get that moment absolutely and unmistakably correct. And it all begins with that Mehendi function. To start your eventful week or weekend ahead, the mehendi ceremony requires just the right amount of glamour, not looking forced or overwhelming, but just right.
Mehndi
The mehendi ceremony has long symbolised the joy and auspiciousness of beginnings. On the bride’s hands, the depth of the pigment is believed to reflect the strength of her husband’s love; on the groom’s palms, it signifies prosperity and good fortune. The celebration itself is a burst of creativity—music, dancing, laughter, sunlight, and colour. For the groomsmen, this is the moment to lean into playful silhouettes and lively tones. Shades of green feel especially fresh and festive: think olive and eucalyptus for day gardens, emerald for evening revelry, and soft mint or pistachio for breezy, daytime charm. Lightweight bandhgalas, easy kurtas with tonal threadwork, and printed jackets inspired by botanical motifs all fit perfectly into the mehendi mood.
