"Perfectly Stylish: The Key Rules for Coordinating the Groom's Tuxedo"

Coordinating the Groom's Tuxedo is Tough...!

Future brides, have you decided on your wedding dress or colored dress yet??

Just as important as choosing your wedding dress or colored dress is coordinating the groom's tuxedo＊

The wedding is a celebration for both of you as the stars♡ Even if he says, "Whatever is fine," you want to coordinate the wedding in a super stylish way so that everyone thinks, "What a handsome husband!♡"

However, the reality is that coordinating the groom's tuxedo is quite challenging. It’s tough enough to make your own dress look cute, let alone figuring out how to style a man’s tuxedo. Even if you think, "This looks cool!" it might not be stylish from a male perspective…!

So, how can we effectively think about coordinating the groom’s outfit?

Where Can You Coordinate the Groom?

Many brides struggle with coordinating the groom, but where can you actually make choices for the groom's coordination?

The broad areas you can choose from with the groom's tuxedo are as follows＊

① Tuxedo

② Vest

③ Shirt

④ Shoes

⑤ Socks

⑥ Boutonniere

⑦ Handkerchief

⑧ Belt

To be more detailed, there are also items like cufflinks, but this time we will introduce ways to make these eight items that are often seen by guests look stylish＊

Groom Coordination Point ① Match the Color of the Vest and Bow Tie

A basic tip to make the groom's coordination look stylish is to match the color of the vest and the bow tie＊

During the outfit change, the groom often just changes the vest and bow tie while keeping the tuxedo the same, right?◎

If you are going to change them, coordinating the vest and bow tie colors together makes for a stylish look! It seems popular to change to colors that match the bride’s colored dress♩

Groom Coordination Point ② Match the Color of the Belt and Shoes

For grooms who usually wear suits, many might know that it's better for the belt and shoes to be the same color＊

If the belt is black, choose black shoes; if it's brown, go with brown shoes – aim for a unified look♩

Groom Coordination Point ③ Match the Bouquet and Boutonniere

This is something most florists will do, but it's customary to match the design of the bouquet and boutonniere♡

The bouquet is what the groom gives to the bride when he proposes, and the boutonniere is the flower taken from the bouquet by the bride as a sign of acceptance and pinned onto the groom＊

So, make sure to match the design of the bouquet and boutonniere♩

If the bride’s flower crown or floral headpiece uses the same flowers, it creates a more unified and stylish coordination♡

Groom Coordination Point ④ Play with the Shirt Color ♡

One common concern for the groom's coordination is, "Does the shirt have to be white??"

Previously, white was the standard for tuxedo shirts, but recently, more grooms are opting for colored, dotted, striped, or patterned shirts♩

However, it seems many brides still prefer white during the ceremony＊

Many grooms then do a stylish image change for the outfit change, second party, pre-shoot, or post-shoot♡

Groom Coordination Point ⑤ Match Socks and Handkerchief with Other Items＊

Choosing socks and a handkerchief can be quite tricky. For socks, people often go for black, while for the handkerchief, many choose the same color as the tuxedo.

But it's also GOOD to coordinate handkerchief and socks with the bow tie, vest, or the bride's colored dress♡

It seems a good idea to match it with a color that appears in either the bride's or groom’s items♩
