Spring is a popular season for weddings, and many couples choose to have outdoor ceremonies to take advantage of the beautiful weather and blooming flowers. We've shared advice to help grooms decide what to wear to their outdoor spring wedding, taking into consideration the weather and location of the event.
What Should Grooms Wear to an Outdoor Spring Wedding?
Outdoor weddings are becoming increasingly popular, offering a beautiful and unique setting for couples to tie the knot. However, they can also present unique challenges for the couple, especially when it comes to dressing appropriately for the weather and location. As the groom, it's important to dress suitably for the occasion while still looking stylish and comfortable. Read on for some important considerations regarding how grooms can decide what to wear to their outdoor wedding.
A Groom's Guide to Outdoor Wedding Attire: Important Considerations
Consider the Weather
Spring weather can be unpredictable, and temperatures can vary greatly throughout the day. When planning what to wear on your wedding day, consider the forecasted weather and dress in layers. Opt for lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen, and avoid heavy fabrics such as wool or velvet, which can be too warm for the season.
Choose the Right Footwear
When it comes to outdoor weddings, footwear is an important consideration. Weddings in gardens, parks, or on the beach require appropriate shoes that are both stylish and practical. Avoid heels that may sink into the ground, and choose flats or low heels that are comfortable for walking on grass or sand. Dress shoes with rubber soles are a great option for outdoor weddings.
Dress for the Location
The location of the wedding will also play a role in determining the appropriate attire. A beach wedding will require lighter fabrics and more casual attire, while a garden wedding may allow for slightly more formal attire. Consider the overall theme of the wedding and dress accordingly, while keeping in mind that outdoor weddings tend to be more casual than indoor events.
Embrace Spring Colours & Patterns
Spring weddings provide an opportunity to embrace brighter colours and patterns. Consider wearing a suit in a pastel colour such as light blue, lavender, or pink, or add a pop of colour with a vibrant tie or pocket square. Floral patterns and prints are also a popular choice for spring weddings, adding a touch of whimsy to your outfit.
Don't Forget to Accessorize
Accessories can add personality and style to your wedding outfit. Consider a stylish fedora or add a colourful boutonniere to your lapel. Cufflinks are also a great addition and come in a variety of styles.
By considering the location, weather, and level of formality, grooms can confidently choose the perfect attire for their outdoor spring wedding and create a stylish and comfortable look that will make their special day even more memorable.
