Embracing Pastels: Wedding Suits for a Softer Aesthetic
For decades, the traditional black tuxedo has reigned supreme as the quintessential groom's attire. While timeless and elegant, it doesn't cater to every groom's personality or wedding theme. Thankfully, the modern wedding scene is embracing a wave of individuality, and this extends to the groom's attire as well. Enter the pastel suit: a refreshing and stylish alternative that injects a touch of personality and softness into your wedding look.
Why Choose a Pastel Suit?
Pastel suits offer a plethora of advantages for the modern groom
- Versatility: Pastel hues come in a wide range of shades, from soft blush and baby blue to lavender and mint green. This allows you to find a colour that perfectly complements your wedding theme, your personal style, and your partner's wedding attire.
- Seasonal Appeal: Pastels are a natural fit for spring and summer weddings, reflecting the light and airy feel of the season. However, with the right styling, they can also work beautifully for fall or winter weddings.
- Express Yourself: A pastel suit allows you to showcase your personality. It demonstrates a willingness to step outside the box and embrace a more contemporary aesthetic.
- Comfort and Confidence: Pastel suits are often made from lightweight fabrics like linen or cotton, making them perfect for warmer weather weddings. They also exude a relaxed elegance that can boost your confidence on your big day.
Styling Tips for Pastel Suits
Pulling off a pastel suit requires careful consideration of the following elements:
- Shirt: A crisp white shirt is a classic choice that complements any pastel colour. For a more textured look, consider a light linen shirt. If you want to add a touch of pattern, opt for a subtle stripe or micro-check.
- Tie and Pocket Square: A tie and pocket square are optional, but they can add a touch of formality and personality to your look. Choose a tie and pocket square in a darker shade that complements your chosen pastel colour. Avoid overly busy patterns, as they can clash with the suit.
- Shoes: Brown leather shoes are a safe bet with most pastel suits. For a summerier look, consider loafers or boat shoes. Wil Valor, Brisbane's premier custom shoemaker, can create a pair of shoes that perfectly complements your suit, ensuring both style and comfort on your wedding day.
- Belt: A brown leather belt will typically work well with a pastel suit. However, you can also experiment with a belt in a similar shade as your shoes.
- Accessories: Keep accessories minimal and elegant. A simple watch and cufflinks are all you need.
Matching Pastels to Your Wedding Theme
Here are some suggestions for matching pastel suits to different wedding themes:
- Romantic Garden Wedding: A blush pink or lavender suit creates a soft and romantic feel, perfectly complementing a garden wedding setting.
- Beach Wedding: Light blue or mint green suits are perfect for a beach wedding, evoking a sense of relaxation and coastal vibes.
- Rustic Wedding: A light brown or khaki suit adds a touch of rustic charm to your wedding attire.
- Modern Wedding: A bolder pastel colour like turquoise or lilac can make a statement at a modern wedding.
