When a wedding is planned, a lot of importance is given to the bridal outfit. Even if the groom’s wedding day outfit is given attention, the reception outfit can easily be labelled as the most neglected ensemble! But slowly this mindset is changing. In fact, the reception sherwani deserves a lot more importance as for this outfit the groom and his designer have a free hand. In other words, this outfit does not ‘have to be’ traditional, like the wedding outfit.

The groom is totally relaxed and can enjoy himself to the fullest. So, here are 30 reception sherwanis that will inspire grooms-to-be to plan their outfits from scratch.
