But before moving on to the trends, let's review what we must never forget:
- Colors: no to white (reserved exclusively for the bride) and other too light colors that could come close to those of her dress. We also add a no to black, too funereal, and to red, too sensual and strong. Much better to stick to more sober and refined tones: yes to the always elegant blue and the entire pastel color palette, they are a great classic for ceremonies.
- Shapes: no to overly sexy, tight-fitting clothes, cut out and exaggerated necklines. We must not divert attention from the real protagonists of the day, namely the bride and groom!
- Style: obviously talk to the spouses to understand what the mood of the ceremony, it would be embarrassing to be found dressed very elegantly in a long satin dress and stiletto heels at a wedding gypsy-style, no? Apart from this, however, remember that the only real rule is “feel at ease”. Even more so on such an important day where emotions will have the upper hand.

Yes also to the strapless by AZ Factory. For those who focus on the latter two, remember that, if the ceremony is in church, you will need to think of one pashmina or a jacket to wear over the dress to cover the shoulders.

Then focus on the single and macro version and place them on the lapels of the blazer: they will be the original detail of your suit, jacket and trousers or jacket and skirt.
