Sure wedding season will be winding down soon come the fall, but it’s always essential for those getting married next year to take a look at wedding fashions starting now.
So here are some wedding fashion musts for groomsmen and bridesmaids, particularly when it comes to pocket squares and which dresses to pair with them for a chic bridal party.
Wedding Fashion Musts
Most groomsmen will go with the obvious choice of a black tux, maybe the odd white or cream one. If that’s a pre-determined choice, play with accessories to amp up your wedding fashion style. Start with pocket squares folded in trendy ways. Then, base the tie and bridesmaids dresses on the colours and style of the pocket square.
