Groom sister outfit ideas: twelve looks to start from

Groom sister outfit ideas are easiest to sort by silhouette, so here are twelve: three lehengas, three sarees, three shararas and three gowns, each matched to the function where it shines. Use them as a starting point, mix and match across the week, and adapt the colours to your family's palette. At House of Daisy on Golf Course Road, Gurugram, you can try many of these ready, and any of them can be made to order.

Three lehenga ideas

1. The jewel-toned wedding lehenga: emerald, wine or deep teal with zardozi on the border. For the pheras, in a colour that sits beside the bride's.
2. The pastel crop-top lehenga: powder blue, mint or blush, with a short fitted top and a light flare. For the sangeet. Our ready crop-top lehengas come with a dupatta you can leave off.
3. The jacket lehenga: a sheer or velvet jacket over a fitted blouse. For a winter baraat or reception.

See our crop-top lehenga collection for current shapes.

Three saree ideas

4. The organza saree with a worked border: soft and photogenic. For the engagement or a day ceremony.
5. The silk saree with a structured blouse: traditional and rich. For the wedding night, especially if your mother is also in a saree.
6. The lehenga saree: a pre-stitched skirt with a pallu, looking like a saree but wearing like a lehenga. For the reception.

Three sharara ideas

7. The mirror-work sharara: a short kurta with a flared sharara, in green, orange or pink. For the mehndi.
8. The cotton gota sharara: light and washable. For the haldi.
9. The heavy gharara: a gathered gharara with a worked kurta and dupatta. For a festive evening or the reception in a family that loves traditional wear.

Three gown ideas

10. The embroidered Indian gown with a dupatta: one piece that still feels traditional. For the engagement.
11. The cape gown: a fitted gown with a sheer cape falling from the shoulders. For the reception.
12. The anarkali gown: a floor-length anarkali with a deep flare. For the sangeet, or the wedding with a heavier dupatta.

How to turn twelve ideas into one week

Pick one idea for each function you are attending, then check three things:

• Silhouette: don't repeat the same shape two days running.
• Colour: plan a flow from bright day looks to rich evening ones, and keep the bride's main colour hers on the wedding day.
• Comfort: the haldi and mehndi need ease; the sangeet needs movement; the wedding needs stamina.

Our guide to outfits for every function explains what each event is like, so you can place each idea well.

Made to order: your own version of any idea

If one of these ideas appeals but not in the colour or fabric you see, it can be made to order. You choose fabric, colour, neckline, sleeves and embroidery one by one, from crafts like mirror work, gota patti, chikankari, zardozi, dabka and aari. Pieces we make to order are made to your measurements and hand-embroidered in our atelier. You can also bring an Instagram or Pinterest picture as inspiration, and we design our own version from it. Order three to four weeks ahead for one festive outfit, or about eight weeks for heavy hand embroidery.

Not sure which three or four to shortlist? Bring a list of your functions and we will narrow it down with you, keeping your family palette in mind.

Try these ideas in person at Shop 226A, 2nd Floor, DT Mega Mall, Golf Course Road, DLF Phase 1, Sector 28, Gurugram, open every day from 11 AM to 9 PM.
