| Beige or tan | Relaxed, warm look for smaller celebrations |
Make the Groom Stand Out
A complete 3-piece suit gives the groom a polished look that sets him apart from guests. Add a tie or bow tie in a colour that complements the bride's outfit, and consider a small boutonniere.
What the Family and Guests Can Wear
Family members and guests can wear well-fitted suits or smart shirt-and-trousers. Keeping a simple palette helps photographs look coordinated without competing with the couple.
