A groom's guide to destination weddings: how to keep your Sherwani perfect

 Introduction

At VAMA Designs, we understand it all. We comprehend the thrills and the dilemmas of hosting a destination wedding. Being the groom of the day is not a cakewalk, but looking fabulous is a must. An ideal sherwani bridal constitutes an integral part of your attire. Here is everything one needs to know in keeping the perfect sherwani in pristine condition to ensure you look stunning when you set out to the altar till you utter, "I do."

Destination weddings are the most memorable experience: the beauty of a new place and the excitement of your wedding. However, carrying your wedding outfit, especially a sherwani, is a great deal of pain. VAMA Designs has been able to come up with this detailed guide to keep your sherwani sparkling while traveling to your dream destination for your wedding.

1. Preparation Before Travel

Professional Cleaning and Inspection

This means that before embarking on travel, you should ensure that your sherwani has been cleaned by a professional. This will revive the texture, removing stains or smells that may easily get worse during travel. You should also check for loose threads or broken buttons on which you might have to make some adjustments to your outfit before you leave to ensure that it looks just perfect for your bridal sherwani.

Packaging Protects

Invest in a good-quality garment bag preferably breathable and waterproof. Such a garment bag will keep dust, dirt, and moisture at bay from your sherwani. It will also give you enough space not to fold it too much in a garment bag so that you don't get creases while traveling.

2. Packing Sherwani

Folding Techniques

Proper folding preserves the delicacy of your sherwani when you are traveling:

• Take your sherwani flat on a clean surface.

• Fold the sleeves inwards along the seams gently.

• Fold the sherwani lengthways, make no sharp creases.

Use of Tissue Paper

Use acid-free tissue paper between folds. This will reduce friction and therefore prevent wrinkles and damage on fabrics.

Accessories, such as turbans, stoles, shoes, and jewelry, should be put in separate padded bags to prevent damage, as well as tangling.

3. Travel Tips

Carry-On Versus Checked Luggage

Pack your sherwani if possible. Checked bags will receive the ruffin'est of treatment, and you are assured that yours will be treated with proper care. If, however you still have to check your sherwani, pack it in a good, sturdy garment bag for added safety.

On-Board Care

Request the flight attendants to hang your garment bag in their closet. Shouldn't work? Hang it flat in the overhead compartment - uncompressed and upright.

4. When you Reach

Unpacking.

As soon as you reach, get your sherwani unpacked and hang it outside in a ventilated area but not under direct sunlight so the fabric can breathe after the long travel. In preparation, it's best that you steam your sherwani right away.

Steamer in the hand will make wrinkles disappear. This steamer is placed a few inches away so water spots or heat damage do not occur to fabrics. Steaming is not as tough as ironing so it is suitable for delicate wedding outfits such as the Megha saree or the lehenga jodha dress available under the VAMA collection.

5. The Wedding

Dressing with care

Wearing a sherwani just before the ceremony will minimize wrinkles or stains on the fabric. Be particular when handling it, especially when you are coordinating the same with another attire, such as a mastani lehenga for the bride, or elegant black and gold saree for the family members.

Emergency Kit

Small emergency kit- small stain remover pen, needle, thread, extra buttons in case of any mishaps that can be handled discreetly and quickly.

6. Post-Wedding Care Professional Cleaning

After the wedding, get your sherwani cleaned by a professional, in case you made some stains or worse smell acquired during the celebrations. This will make sure the fabric remains the same with vivid bright colors and unblemished, like the pieces in our Indian Bridal Couture VAMA Designs collection.

Proper Storage

Store your sherwani in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic covers as they trap moisture and create mildew. Use a padded hanger to keep the shape of the garment. These storage tips will last longer when it is done for other favorite outfits such as a sangeet lehenga or Jodha lehenga.
