You don’t have to let Django unpack the form’s fields; you can do it manually if you like. Each field is available as an attribute of the form using {{ form.name_of_field }}, and in a Django template, will be rendered appropriately. As you unpack the form with form.as_p you can add your css classes like :

<p><label class="my-classes" for="{{ form.name.id_for_label }}">Name:</label>
    {{ form.name }}</p>
<p><label class="my-classes" for="{{ form.address.id_for_label }}">Address:</label>
    {{ form.address}}</p>
<p><label class="my-classes" for="{{ form.mobile.id_for_label }}">Mobile:</label>
    {{ form.mobile}}</p>
