Coordinating Your Wedding VIPs Attire

Ensure your wedding VIPs shine bright on your big day with carefully coordinated attire that complements your style and vision. Coordinating the outfits of your VIPs is crucial, as they'll be standing by your side or featured prominently in photos. We're here to help you coordinate your VIP's attire so they look flawless and put together. 

Bringing together both sides of the wedding party for a cohesive look is critical, but it can be challenging. Coordinating the two sides is a great way to set the tone and style of the wedding and show the couple's personality. While matching colors entirely may be challenging, utilizing color swatches can help achieve harmony.

Choosing a Color Palette 

The first step in dressing your VIPs is choosing a color palette. Start by selecting a color palette that sets the mood. If your wedding features vibrant floral arrangements, consider neutral attire to balance the look. Alternatively, incorporate colors from your floral arrangements into the VIPs' attire for a cohesive theme. Creating a mood board or Pinterest board can help you finalize your color scheme and see it all together. 

Sticking with a couple of primary colors and then a few accent colors will help narrow your choices. Once you have a color palette picked out, you can choose attire.

Groomsmen's Attire

Attire for the groomsmen tends to be more straightforward compared to the ladies. The primary decision revolves around selecting suits or tuxedos, with the accessories matching the color scheme or the bridesmaid's dresses. While neutral hues like black, gray, or navy are traditional, those with a more vibrant personal style can explore bolder color options. The event's formality should guide the attire level; tuxedos are the quintessential choice for black-tie affairs, while classic suits with jackets are appropriate for more casual weddings.

Mother's Attire

When planning your VIPs attire, the dresses worn by your mothers might not be the first thing that crosses your mind. However, their attire is just as crucial as any other aspect of the celebration. A few key factors should be considered when selecting the ideal outfits for the mothers. Firstly, the formality of the wedding will set the tone for their attire. While it's unnecessary for the mothers to match each other or the bridesmaids, their outfits should complement the color palette chosen for the wedding. The venue and time of the day play a significant role in determining the appropriate style. A brunch wedding on the beach calls for a dress code different from an evening ceremony in a traditional church. The mothers' attire should be tailored to the occasion, ensuring they look elegant and feel comfortable throughout the festivities.
