DRESSED TO IMPRESS Grooms and groomsmen, and the fathers of the newlyweds too, are certainly taking more pride in their wedding appearance and enjoying shopping just as much as the leading ladies. Men’s fashion has come a long way in the last decade, along with greater acceptance of breaking wedding traditions and protocols. Some of our favourite grooms’ looks here at Your Surrey Wedding are those gents rocking their long beards and tattoos, in a pink waistcoat with a patterned shirt – oh-so-cool, and totally unique and individual. Embrace you! The bespoke tailored look: if you’ve never had a professionally fitted suit, your wedding day is the occasion. The perfect fit is essential for comfort and looking good in wedding photos, and you can have little personalised elements added such as your initials and wedding date stitched into the lining. Earth tones: key for bridesmaids and venue styling, this will be a trend for the men too. Think sand-coloured, beige and browns. For something, a little fresher go for green palettes. The tux: grooms who still adore the traditional tuxedo can opt for it, but think about variations maybe velvet (aka Bond-style) or bright colours or patterned effect. Adorn and accessorise: make your personality stand out with your accessory choices – here’s where you can really get creative; a dashing waistcoat, funky watch, or artsy pocket square and braces.
