Dressing the Wedding Party: Custom Looks for Groomsmen, Fathers, and VIPs in Every Season
When it comes to your wedding day, groomsmen attire, father of the bride suits, and VIP styling matter just as much as the groom’s outfit. Your wedding party is more than a photo-op, they’re your closest friends and family, and their look should reflect the tone of the day, the season, and their role in your life.
At HKT Custom Clothiers, we believe in creating wedding ensembles that are cohesive, flattering, and full of personality. Whether you're saying "I do" under spring blossoms or dancing the night away in a winter city loft, your wedding party groomsmen attire should be custom-fit for comfort, style, and impact.
Spring & Summer Wedding Looks
Light, breathable, and full of energy, that's the vibe of spring and summer weddings.
For groomsmen outfits, consider linen or lightweight cotton suits in stone, light grey, or pale blue. These natural fabrics offer breathability without sacrificing style. Pair them with pastel shirts or floral ties that nod to the seasonal palette.
When it comes to father of the bride attire or father of the groom attire, lighter hues like soft greys or beige, or even tailored unlined blazers, offer polish while keeping things cool. Add personal touches like custom monogrammed cuffs, colorful linings, or meaningful details to celebrate their role.
Beach, vineyard, or garden weddings call for relaxed silhouettes and flexibility—think unstructured jackets, open collars, and soft fabric drapes. For groom attire, a wool-silk blend with a tailored fit balances elegance and ease, keeping you comfortable as you move from ceremony to dance floor.
Fall & Winter Wedding Looks
For cooler seasons, embrace depth, texture, and drama in your groomsmen attire and VIP styling. Wool, flannel, and velvet suits in navy, charcoal, and forest green are ideal for autumn and winter weddings. These materials offer warmth, structure, and visual richness. Accents like burnt orange boutonnieres, gold ties, or plum pocket squares add just the right amount of seasonal flair.
When dressing the father of the bride or groom, elevate their outfit with thoughtful details like contrasting linings, heirloom-inspired cufflinks, or a signature lapel pin. A rich tweed or brushed wool suit paired with a classic Oxford shirt gives a timeless, dignified look that photographs beautifully.
Even your groom's wedding attire can shift into a more tailored, luxurious mode. A midnight blue tuxedo with black satin lapels or a deep burgundy velvet jacket makes a bold yet classic statement. Add a waistcoat or layered scarf to play with texture and warmth.
Personalization Is the Secret to Standing Out
The best wedding party looks aren’t identical, they’re intentional. Matching doesn’t mean “same.” It means cohesive, well-curated, and expressive.
At HKT, we love helping grooms and their VIPs tell a visual story. Maybe your best man wears a different tie pattern, or your dad’s suit features a lining printed with your wedding date. These small, subtle touches add emotion, personality, and polish to your wedding aesthetic.
Groomsmen outfits can vary slightly by cut or accessories while still looking coordinated. The key is balance, styling that flatters each individual while contributing to a unified look across the group.
