Have you picked a wedding safa design yet? Do you know what’s trending? Ever since Sabyasachi gave us the floral safa, a myriad of designs has flooded the market. But you don’t want to get lost in that flood. Which is why we curated the BEST Safa design trends we’ve spotted recently, along with some classics that will never go out of style.
Irrespective of what you call it (a Punjabi turban or a Rajasthani safa or a groom’s pagri), the
Safagives a different look depending on the fabric you choose (kota, chanderi, cotton, velvet or silk). You can opt for a quirky and bold print, or go for monotone fabrics with an attached kalgi. Basically, there’s a safa for every groom in the market, and here are our favourite dulha pagri designs for 2019.
Psst…don’t forget to check out our Styling & Buying Tips at the end of the post.
1 Floral Safas are Super HOT!
This popular wedding safa trend will continue in 2019. We love them on not only grooms but also as safas for baratis and the bride’s family & friends. The ultimate floral pagri design? In pastel shades, worn at a day wedding! <3

Handy Tips for Wearing a Safa
•
Hold a trial
with your turban-man (pagriwala) to make sure there is no disaster on the wedding day. Tying the safa right is a skill!
• If you’re not confident about the turban staying in place,
wear a pre-stitched one
! It is less ceremonial but will make your life much easier.
• Use the safa to
balance your look
. If your outfit is heavy go for a light pagri and vice versa.
• Don’t forget to coordinate the safa
with your bride’s outfit!
