A contrasting waistcoat gives the groom and his groomsmen a stand-out look, which sets them apart from the other guests and makes it look less corporate. Tweed waistcoats are also very sought-after, giving a modern feel to the look.” – John Sharman and Alex Taylor, dapper chaps men’s formal wear “We always advise our couples, if possible, to incorporate the colour of the bridesmaids’ dresses into the men’s neckwear. This draws the whole colour scheme together and resonates beautifully in photographs.” – John Sharman and Alex Taylor, dapper chaps men’s formal wear www.dap perchapsformalwear.co.uk | h ttps://flowtography.co.uk “A morning suit is very elegant and traditional, but you can add a more contemporary twist by veering away from grey and instead considering a bright navy or stone shade. Bold coloured accessories such as fuchsia pink or red buttonholes make a striking contrast. A wedding is the perfect time to embrace colour, if not in the suit, then with accessories such as ties, socks, shirts and buttonholes. Colour trends for 2021 include burgundy, greens and blues.” – Kelly Caira, House of Colour Mudassir Ali www.dap perchapsformalwear.co.uk | www.face book.c om/pkaymakeup “We feel it’s important for the groomsmen’s shoes to all match, so we have a range of styles and colours to complement the feel of the wedding. We love an Albert pocket watch chain for the groom to make him stand out from the rest of his party.” – John Sharman and Alex Taylor, dapper chaps men’s formal wear DRESSING THE BRIDAL PARTY 53
