How can my fiancé incorporate prints and colours into his suit without it clashing with my gown?
As long as basic menswear etiquette is met, the designs of wedding suits are only limited by the groom’s imagination. By playing with suit colours and prints, he can stand out while complementing the bride’s gown at the same time. Sticking to the theme is the best way to ensure that the groom’s suit does not stick out like a sore thumb. If the wedding gown is not too formal, he can afford to play with patterns and details.
Quirky buttons can reflect his fun-loving nature, and prints (florals, for example) can be infused into the vest or shirt if he is more flamboyant. For something more subtle, imaginative stitch work can render a suit different, but quietly confident. There is also the option of using bold colours, such as red, for the entire suit. The most important thing to note is that a wedding suit must be well fitted to make the groom look crisp, sharp and confident.
