Which Jodhpuri suit suits a winter farmhouse wedding in Delhi?

A fine-wool or velvet Jodhpuri suit. Delhi's winter evenings can drop below 10°C, and farmhouse receptions are mostly outdoors. Wool is warm without being heavy and does not shine under flash; velvet is warmer still and suits a late-night function. Midnight blue, chocolate brown and bottle green hold up best under stage lighting.

What colour Jodhpuri suit should I wear to a Delhi wedding?

  • Day functions: ivory, beige or pastels, or a Nehru jacket over a kurta instead.
  • Evening reception: midnight blue, chocolate brown, bottle green or wine.
  • Black: fine at the reception; some Delhi families avoid it at the ceremony, so check first.
