Styling The Couple – Why Choose CLAD For Couple Styling?
What makes a good wedding great? There are thousands of elements involved in the success of your celebration, of course, but the fashion choices and styling of the couple can make or break the wedding vibe, especially in photos. The outfits a couple chooses for every function, be it your roka, engagement, mehendi, sangeet, or reception, are vital for both halves.
It’s a natural instinct for brides and grooms to want to colour-coordinate outfits to look like true soulmates, but if you match too much, things could go down to cringe town pretty quickly. To make the bride and groom look their beautiful best, CLAD can style the couple in looks that are balanced and well-matched, but also bring out the unique styles of each half cohesively. After all, a couple that styles together, stays together.
What’s Our Procedure For Couple Styling?
Harmonising outfits is definitely the wedding norm, but remember that you both aren’t twins but partners. Wearing identical his and hers ensembles doesn’t cut it any more (did it ever?), and nor does looking like a confused bricolage of wedding wear on your big day. There is a way to look impeccably styled, with the right amount of amalgamation of complementary design, colour, prints, ornamentation, and more. We at CLAD love to style the couple together, and we can help achieve this complementary couple look.
We start with an interaction with both halves, and evaluate the style goals of both the bride and the groom. Each member is given careful attention: bridal styling and groom styling is done in tandem with each other. Post several interactions, CLAD identifies the common color palettes, accents, fabrics, and silhouettes that the couple is interested in, and puts together several options of the same for the couple to look at. Once the couple has selected whether they want to match the colours of their wedding dresses, or the embellishments or do customizations that match, CLAD proceeds to fix up designer appointments where they can further refine ideas and get the advice from the best of the fashion industry on how to match with each other without twinning. These appointments can be in-person or virtual, and CLAD’s fantastic network of fashion designers ensures that our clients only receive the best of designer attention, including but not limited to Falguni Shane Peacock, Faraz Manan, Tarun Tahiliani, Sabyasachi, Anamika Khanna, Anita Dongre, Gaurav Gupta and several more. After one or more successful appointments, CLAD curates couple wedding outfits for each ceremony that the bride and groom can wear and look like they are in sync. We make moodboards, vision boards, collections of outfits and fabrics with embroideries that we think work well and present them to the couple to assess. The couple can then choose from our special curation for all functions like the roka, engagement, mehendi, sangeet, cocktail, wedding day and reception. CLAD has a talented team of wedding stylists who will then fix up fittings for styling the bride and styling the groom as well,because measurements make the outfit.
What About Accessories And Jewellery?
Both the bride and groom require the right jewels and suitable accessories to make their ensemble truly shine, and CLAD takes a special effort to curate a selection of gorgeous jewellery pieces with our partner jewellers, and distinctive accessories with our associated brands that the bride and groom can include in their wedding day, and other ceremonial outfits as well.
And that’s it! Our wedding styling service for the couple takes care of these harmonious outfits from start to finish. Right from conceptualising the looks of the couple to turning them into reality, CLAD does it all. Couples need not worry about any coordination, tedious research, or timelines — we handle all styling needs for both the groom and the bride as well as the logistics that go into it. We set up appointments, fittings, and make sure that alterations and any bespoke details get added when the couple sees fit. The timely delivery of the outfits, which is of utmost importance, is also dealt with by CLAD and we’ve never failed a client even once.
