Are you looking for design inspiration for your same-sex or LGBTQI+ wedding outfits? We’re here to help!
Gone are the days of rigid rules regarding what brides and grooms can wear on their wedding days. Nowadays, you can essentially wear whatever wedding attire you’d favor to – and while that gives you plenty of freedom, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed and at a loss as to where to start putting your outfits together. This is especially genuine when the huge day you’re planning involves two grooms or two brides (or two people without any labels at all!).
Do you want your outfits to match? Perform you plan on dressing completely differently? What about your hair and makeup? Will both of you be wearing dresses or suits, or a combination thereof? Do you want your accessories and grooming styles to match, or would you rather express yourselves individually through your fashion choices?
Here are our best fashion tips for coordinating your same-sex wedding out
22 Wedding Outfits Ideas For Queer Couples
When it comes to same-sex attracted weddings most grooms still determine to wear suits whether they’re traditional, rustic or flamboyant, but there are plenty of other options out there too. Some grooms like to shop together or discuss their wedding approach before the big day to ensure there’s a degree of cohesion in their sartorial choices, while others like to preserve their look a surprise for their husband-to-be on the great day. Both approaches work and can result in brilliant wedding looks, you just need to decide which route works for your specific taste and wedding.
If you’re planning your outfit for your LGBTQ wedding, don’t sense constrained by classic groomswear. You don’t have to wear a suit if that’s not your usual style. Stay true to you and you can’t lose to look your very foremost. Dresses, kilts, shorts, fancy dress… there are no rules when it comes to same sex wedding attire, so have a bit of fun when you go wedding outfit shopping.
