Groomsmen Stoles for a Baraat: How Many to Order

A row of groomsmen in matching stoles is one of the best sights at a baraat. It looks neat in photos and videos, and it makes your side of the family feel like one team. Ordering them well takes a little planning. Here is how.

How many should you order?

Start with a head count of the men who will walk with you in the baraat: groomsmen, brothers, cousins, and close uncles or friends. Then add one or two spares for last-minute guests or a stain. Our matched sets come in 5, 10, 15 or 50 pieces, so you can pick the size closest to your count.

What size and style to expect

Our ivory and gold groomsmen stoles are cotton silk with a gold zari border and tasselled ends. Each stole is about 2.00 m long and 0.50 m wide, which is light enough to wear for a long baraat and long enough to drape over one shoulder.

Why one order is better than two

We dye each set in one lot, so every stole matches. If you order in two rounds, the shades can differ slightly. Place one order for the whole group, not several small ones.

Matching them to your own dupatta

Many grooms pick stoles that echo their own dupatta. For example, you wear a maroon dupatta with gold zari, and your groomsmen wear ivory with a gold border. The colours then look planned but you still stand out. You can also ask for a custom colour that suits your wedding theme.

When to order

Matched sets are made to order. We cut and hand-work them over about 7 days and fit them before shipping. After that, delivery to the UK, USA and Canada takes about 6 to 9 working days with tracking. So for a wedding abroad, order at least a month ahead, and earlier for a large set or custom colour.
