Thinking Beyond Black Suits

Spring is the ideal season for a wedding, there is something very inspirational and romantic about it.  Spring weddings almost have everything perfectly tailored for the occasion - nice ambient weather, vibrant and lively atmosphere, blue skies and sunshine, delicate spring blossoms and fresh breeze.  Spring brides embrace the season with ultra-feminine, romantic gowns.    

One of the groom's hurdles aside from the wedding planning and jitters is his attire.  It’s one big challenge and question for most men - how to put on the right outfit for their wedding.  Most of the time, they leave this to be decided by their bride.  But here are some tips to bring a spring wedding suit tailored exactly for you and your big day.   

The suit is a cornerstone in men's wedding fashion.  Choose a style and colour depending on the time of the wedding.  For day weddings, you and your groomsmen can also embrace spring by choosing something other than traditional black suits. Grooms can look beyond the classic black suits and opt for softer shades on lightweight fabrics.  If you want comfort without losing style, crisp linen or cotton suit is a favourite choice.  For a more classic and dressier style, blue and grey suits are perfect options.  

Add colour to your ensemble. Your wedding suit doesn't need to be stiff.  Don't be afraid to play with spring colours - be a man and try a colourful tie and succulent boutonniere. You can also accentuate your wedding attire by using paisley or floral patterns for your vest, bow or tie, you can even be quirky and different by choosing funky socks colour. Not only would it be great pictorial subjects but sure it’s something your bride will adore. 

Regardless of your weight or height make sure your wedding suit work for your shape.  Not only should it be tailored to the occasion but most importantly it should be perfectly tailored for you.  Make sure you are comfortable working around greeting guests and moving from the wedding aisle, dance floor, and guest tables and off to your wedding limo. 

Take the initiative and be more involved in choosing your wedding attire rather than just leaving it up to your bride.
