A shawl is an elegant accessory for various Indian outfits such as a simple Kurta Pyjama or an embellished Sherwani. Moreover, you can choose from a variety of embroidery or print patterns to make the piece as unique as you desire. Not only does a customized shawl look more regal than solid stoles from readymade brands, but it is also a reusable piece that you can style with many outfits. It will truly make your Indian outfit stand out from the rest.
3. Embellished Waistbelt

An embellished waistbelt can break the monotony of the classic Sherwani and add more structure and drama to the outfit. For a pastel sherwani, you can add a waistbelt in a darker hue for a striking contrast. You can also customize the waistbelt to match your jewellery or headgear for a coordinated ensemble. Moreover, you can match your waistbelt to your bride’s dupatta for your wedding sherwani. The possibilities are truly endless with this offbeat and stylish accessory!
4. Brooch

Cohesiveness
Not only should each accessory look good individually with your outfit, but all the accessories should also be cohesive when put together. So, visualize the whole outfit when selecting your accessories and bring them to your fittings to check the final look.
Theme
If you want coordinated bride-and-groom outfits for your wedding then it is best to get them both designed simultaneously. This way you can pick up the fabrics and accessories keeping the coordinated theme in mind.
