Question about Groom's outfit

So for my wedding ceremony I'm wearing a Western style gown with Indian jewelry and my fiance is thinking about getting an Indo-Western style sherwani.  We looked at some suits in this style in New Jersey and one shop said that this style shouldn't be worn with pagri (I think that's what the turban is called) or jutti (sp?) and another shop said they special ordered and indo-western suit with both of those accessories.  So I'm wondering would the an IndoWestern suit look ok with the pagri and jutti or should he just stick to dress shoes and nothing on his head?

    I have never seen it done, so I couldn't tell you. I think that may be all about being able to pull it off, maybe.

    I don't know if mine would do it.

    I think it depends on the groom wearing it.  I could be pulled off the groom makes it work.
    I've also not seen it done before.

    I think it could be done depending on the design and color of the suit and also the style of the pagri & jutti.  I think that if the suit is more "indo" than "western" it might actually look cool.  Do you have pictures?

    @mrs. khan, I don't have any pictures of the outfit :(  I would say it's more Western than Indo.  It's got trouser pants and it doesn't have a lot of work on it.

    My DH had an Indo-Western suit made from Sona Chaandi in Los Angeles. It was a velvet like cream color suit, with gold embroidery work on it.  I'm sure that the turban would look fine :)

    @kpwedkk - Wow! You two look great!  I'll have to run the turban idea by the fiance again.  Maybe he'll change his mind.  I love those chair covers.  Did you make them?

    We didn't make the chair covers - they were made to match the mandap from the same company that we rented everything from - we were the first to rent them - so it had quite the newness factor :)

    If your fiance wants to do a trial to see how he'd look in an Indo/western suit and a turban --- I've seen it done before -- If I find a couple pictures I'll post it :)

    Thanks girl!  Love ALL the outfits on the diwan saheb site.  The Indo Western sherwanis are that site are definitely my fiance's style and that's the kind of look we want to go for.  I just don't see any of them with the turban though so maybe that's just not the fashion...  Thanks for keeping an eye out for me :)
