Matching Style: Wedding Dress and Tuxedo Combos
Your big day is approaching, and the preparations are in full swing. At first, it may seem like finding the perfect suit and dress would be simple, but if you want to match them, things can get quite complicated. This is why we have selected a few styles that can help you match your outfits for a beautiful look.
Vintage Style
Retro fashion has become insanely popular in the last few years, so it is no wonder this style is trendy for weddings as well. Choosing a wedding dress in vintage style is easier, and since girls usually do it first, let's start there. Firstly, the color does not have to be blinding white. You can go for more natural, earthy tones like eggshell or off-white. Lucky for you, lace is also very trendy, and it perfectly fits the retro vibe, so some details like lacy sleeves or neck collar are a great idea. Other such details you can go for are pearls and corset type tops with straps. Choose subtle flower pieces for your hair, and complete the look with pearl earrings or a necklace.
Now, when picking a suit to go with this style, we would recommend sticking to the same earthy tones. Dark colors will not look as good combined, so pick a more neutral color palette. Beige, brown, or even green are a good choice. It is best to choose a three-piece suit and maybe add details like a beret, pocket watch, or an interesting tie. Tweed and plaid are the fabrics he should go for, as they give that rustic vibe you are trying to achieve.
Elegant Style
If you choose to stay in a more traditional lane, classic, elegant style is what you should both go for. For women, it means princess or siren gowns, depending on your preference. Going with a true white color will make the dress pop, regardless of the style. Aside from that, sparkly details, tulle, or silk are a good choice. Popular trends are also emphasized shoulders, deep V-neck, off-the-shoulder, or open back, so if you are into a more provocative look, try some of these.
Elegant wedding suits, either three-piece or tuxedo style, will go perfectly. You can stick with the safer darker colors that will go with any wedding dress, or choose gray, or off-white suits if you want to match it even more. Simple designs are also a safe choice, but you can be creative with details such as cufflinks, tie, bowtie, boutonniere, or other accessories like shoes or a watch. Clean and polished looks best fit the elegant style, so keeping it simple is the best advice.
Chic and unique style
If going with a traditional dress, or a dress, in general, does not fit your style, and you want something a bit more original and fun, suits for brides are a great option. It is a perfect way to show off your personality, and there are great ways to make it fit into the whole wedding vibe. Of course, choose the white color, but play with the design. If you like androgynous bridal looks, loose pants, and an oversized blazer will do. You can match it with sparkly earrings, and play with makeup as well as colored shoes. If you want a more elegant and seductive look, opt for tighter pants, a deep V-neck blazer, or even a trendy jumpsuit. These suits are characteristic for a minimalist style, so make sure the groom's suit is not too elaborate.
He can wear a classic black suit and match his boutonniere to your shoes, or any other detail that will tie your looks together. This way, you will have a pop of color in a simple yet effective outfit. Or he can go for a minimalistic white suit as well, without too many details, since the white will be enough on its own.
Final thoughts
The most important thing when matching your wedding outfits is to stick to the same style, which is why you want to talk about it beforehand. An elegant tuxedo will not go well with a vintage, rustic dress. If you choose to add colors to your outfits, opt for one color, so it won't be too accentuated. Choose the theme first, and make sure you get the bride's dress first since it will be a much harder task. Ask for help from friends since they will know what style you are going for, and how to match it. But most importantly, make sure you both are comfortable in what you choose, and everything else will fall into place.
