Color Schemes and Accessories for a Blue-Suit Wedding

While many still opt for a clas­sic black suit on their wed­ding day, blue-suit wed­dings are con­tin­u­al­ly ris­ing in pop­u­lar­i­ty. Whether the groom sim­ply prefers the more con­tem­po­rary appeal or is attempt­ing to uni­fy the over­all col­or scheme of the big day, choos­ing com­ple­men­tary col­or schemes and acces­sories proves to be a chal­lenge for many of these trend­set­ters. If you are don­ning a blue suit on your wed­ding day, con­sid­er these help­ful tips for select­ing har­mo­nious acces­sories: 

Ties and Pocket Squares

Before select­ing a tie or pock­et square for your blue suit, give some thought to which sea­son your wed­ding will take place in. Bright and vibrant col­ors, like shades of red, are typ­i­cal­ly more fash­ion­able dur­ing the sum­mer, while lighter pas­tels, includ­ing pink, are bet­ter for spring affairs. For fall wed­dings, a sub­tle maroon col­or elic­its a sense of uni­ty, while mut­ed col­ors such as grey, ivory or blush are more in line with win­ter.

Shirts

A groom sim­ply can­not go wrong when pair­ing their blue suit with a clas­sic white shirt. If you are aim­ing for a bold­er look, how­ev­er, try a light blue or pas­tel pink. If you’re going for a bold­er look, opt for a shirt adorned with a flo­ral or dot pat­tern.

Belts and Shoes

Black belts and shoes may be tra­di­tion­al, but when paired with a blue suit, they can look too harsh, espe­cial­ly if your wed­ding is a day­time event or if the venue is a more relaxed envi­ron­ment. Instead, brown belts and shoes are a more sub­tle and com­ple­men­tary choice.

As blue-suit wed­dings become a more wide­ly embraced trend, the amount of options when it comes to shades of blue and tex­tures also increas­es. From navy to pas­tel and every shade in between, be sure to take the spe­cif­ic blue hue and tex­ture of your suit into con­sid­er­a­tion when shop­ping for acces­sories, along with the sea­son of your wed­ding and the venue. By con­sid­er­ing these fac­tors, you can sim­pli­fy the shop­ping process and ensure that you look both pol­ished and fash­ion-savvy on your wed­ding day.
