What to Wear for the Groom

Let's turn out attention to the groom! While most grooms wear tuxedos, you can choose a chic suit to achieve that perfect look. Depending on the season, you could opt for a light suit in colors like beige, cream, or even white! As for a winter wedding, think of dark blue, charcoal, or chocolate brown. Here are three of my favorite looks via Pinterest:

white with off-white

Brown - A Wedding Color for All Seasons

Brown strikes me as a color you can have for any season of the year. Obviously, it can be for fall, but you can also have a brown color scheme for a summer wedding, too. Imagine pairing it with fuchsia, aqua, purple, and/or chartreuse. It really becomes an elegant choice. Just see these table decorating ideas from Bellenza, you will see what I mean:
