TREND REPORT Outfit inspiration for your entire bridal party Y ou’re not the only one who wants to look their best for your big day. We’ve rounded up some top advice from London’s experts in dressing your bridesmaids, mums and men. www.edi tsuits.com GORGEOUS GROOMSMEN “When it comes to new colour trends, green is the most-requested shade. We believe this is because of the uncertainty and limitations on weddings; there are so many different tones that it can suit anything from a relaxed wedding in an olive hue, a rustic green tweed or a more formal dark shade.” – Patrick Jungo, Edit Suits Co. “Some trends remain similar to what we experienced before the pandemic, with timeless blue still the prevailing choice. The most popular option for the spring and summer is navy or sky blue with a contrasting grey waistcoat. The wedding party typically match the groom but without the waistcoat, so that the star of the show is easy to spot. Most grooms wish to re-wear the suit, therefore keeping the style fairly traditional. Those looking for a modern twist choose a double- breasted jacket, peaked lapels, a rounded waistcoat or a cuff on the trousers. With customisations, the world is your oyster.” – Patrick Jungo, Edit Suits Co. www.edit suits.com “Looking at the spring/summer catwalks, there was a definite trend towards brighter colours. I think we will see more adventurous wedding suits in 2021, with a penchant for bold colours and checks. We’ve found that even if men don’t want to go all-out in a head-to-toe bright shade, they might opt instead for a splash of colour in the lining of their suit, buttons or buttonholes.” – Jake Allen, King & Allen www.edit suits.com www.kingandallen.co.uk www.andyherbyphoto.format.com “I’m seeing a lot of bright and daring choices for menswear. Traditionally, the choice would have been black, navy, grey or perhaps cream. However, I’m now seeing liberatingly bold choices, for example, a corduroy terracotta-coloured tux finished with a brown tweed waistcoat and gold pocket watch. Or how about a grey tweed suit with thin strands of mustard running through it, teamed with a deep green waistcoat and mustard accessories?” – Kelly Richardson, Kelly Richardson Styling DRESSING THE BRIDAL PARTY 61
