South Asian Weddings

Could use some coordinating input, please, ladies!

Here's the sari I'm going to buy:

Here was the sherwani he was originally looking at:

The problem? It's brocade. We're having an outside wedding in Florida. Heavy and hot, for a man who cannot stand heavy clothes and who hates the heat.

So I've started looking for some alternatives for him (because I know he isn't going to take the initiative; he'd show up in jeans if he could get away with it!). What do you think of these?

    I like the first one the most, but I would add a stole.
    The last one seems a little too casual to go well with your sari.

    I like the first one too, although I didn't get to see the third link since it leads to a dead end. I like the idea of a stole as well, to bring some red/maroon into his outfit as well, so that way it doesn't look too stark against the deep color of your sari.

    What fabric are the alternative choices made out of? Hopefully those are more "breathable"!

    I like the first or second one. I don't like the neckline on the third one - it plunges a little too low for my liking! Btw, the third link was cut off - there's a "g" missing at the end.

    I edited the post to fix the last link. Should work fine now.

    The fabrics are silk, linen, and satin, but I can't remember which fabric belongs to which sherwani. All three are more breatheable than brocade, so he should be okay.

    Thanks for your input! I don't want to tell him what he "has" to wear, but I do want to present him with some coordinating pieces so we don't wind up with me in red and him in baby blue or something.

    I think I'm torn between the first two as well, though the first most definitely needs a stole. He refuses to wear a turban (and I'm not going to push the issue - he has gorgeous hair and I don't want him to hide it!), so the stole would have to be what brings in the color.

    I like first and the second one.  The last one should be avoided.
