Pune

Chirag Parmar Signatures designs bespoke wedding menswear for grooms in Pune, where Marathi ceremonial tradition is observed more closely than in Mumbai and the climate is kinder to the fabrics that tradition calls for.

Pune weddings hold to Marathi custom with real consistency: the Sakharpuda engagement, the pheta worn at the ceremony, and a colour palette running to cream, off-white, saffron and deep red. Because the pheta is the visual focal point of the ceremony look, the garment beneath it should be restrained rather than heavily embroidered. That is one of the most common corrections we make for clients arriving with North Indian reference photos. Pune's cooler, drier climate also allows heavier silks and wools that would be uncomfortable in coastal Maharashtra.

Design and fabric are confirmed over video with couriered swatches, and Pune's direct flight connections to Bengaluru make a single studio visit for measurement and fitting straightforward to plan. For clients who want the ceremony look kept strictly traditional and the reception thoroughly contemporary, we design the two separately rather than compromising between them.

How should a Pune groom dress around a pheta?

Keep the outfit beneath it understated. The Puneri pheta is the focal point of the ceremony look, and a heavily embroidered kurta or sherwani competes with it rather than supporting it. A plain or lightly detailed silk kurta in cream, off-white or saffron lets the headwear carry the ceremony, which is how the look is traditionally balanced.

Does Pune’s climate allow heavier fabrics than Mumbai?

Yes, meaningfully. Pune is cooler and drier than coastal Maharashtra, particularly in the winter wedding season, so heavier raw silks, brocades and full wool suiting stay comfortable there when the same cloth would be oppressive at a Mumbai function. We specify a heavier weight for Pune than for Mumbai as a matter of course.
