What Is A Rustic Wedding?

Simply put, a rustic wedding embraces the simpler side of life. Inspired or surrounded by the countryside, rustic weddings utilise nature and organics. They can take place in all manner of locations, such as barns, fields, gardens, woodlands. They offer a traditional take on wedding décor and days, with an emphasis on timeless style. With time spent outside, especially for a formal occasion, comes outfit considerations. Read on for ideas of what to wear to a rustic wedding and what men should wear for a rustic wedding…

 

 

What To Consider When Planning A Rustic Wedding Outfit

Firstly, you should consider what the day could entail. A rustic wedding often involves or takes place in the outdoors, so seasonal and weather possibilities must be considered. For a summer wedding, you will want to opt for a lighter colour suit made of a breathable material that is sweat absorbing, such as cotton. For a winter wedding, a darker colour suit made of a thick material that is insulating will keep you more comfortable. For all seasons, considering the chance of rain and formulating a stylish plan is a must, perhaps purchasing an umbrella in a neutral colour or made of clear plastic, applying water-resisting coating to your shoes, or even finding some fashionable wellington boots!

 

 

Secondly, you should think about wedding colours. A rustic wedding embraces organics, so turning up in a neon pink suit is hardly the best choice. Natural shades of brown, cream, tan, and green are all in perfect place at a rustic wedding. Additionally, you could consider muted shades of blue, red, and orange for the big day.

 

 

Lastly, no matter the day or event, suit fit is always essential for a good-looking men’s suit. You could put hours of thought into the colour, pattern, and style of a suit, but it won’t look as good as it could do if it doesn’t fit right. The right suit fit should accentuate your silhouette, it shouldn’t hang off the body or constrict it. Finding the right suit fit can be a process, but it’s a valuable process to go through.

What To Wear As A Wedding Guest At A Rustic Wedding

As a wedding guest, you have a few requirements to consider whilst planning your wedding guest suit. You need to look presentable and confident for photos and to show that you have put effort into your appearance on somebody’s big day. You also need to look good but not so flashy that you outshine the groom and his wedding party. Lastly, you need to embrace the day itself, dressing appropriately for the theme and venue of the wedding. Whilst this all may sound like a lot to manage, SUAVE OWL can make it easy.

 

 

Opt for either a 2-piece or a 3-piece suit. For summer, a 2-piece choice is completely appropriate and will keep you both warmer and less likely to outshine the groom’s attire. For winter, a 3-piece suit may be necessary for warmth! Choose a neutral colour SUAVE OWL shirt that will still make you look great but not capture as much attention, having the additional bonus of more rewear opportunity! Add a pair of brogues in a new neutral colour or one that matches a neutral tone in the rest of the suit, wear a belt that matches your shoes. Lastly, choose a tie and pocket square combination, this provides you with an opportunity to have a pop of colour, you could choose a contrasting shade to your suit or a more vivid version of the same colour. Hold off on over accessorising, you may be able to add another accessory of your choice but keeping the accessories minimal will assist you in your mission to not outshine the wedding party.

 

 

What To Wear As A Groom At A Rustic Wedding

Your groom's attire should be representative of you, it should make you feel confident and proud to be wearing it. For your big day, you have complete choice over what you wear, and maybe what the people in your wedding party wear too. You deserve something special for your rustic wedding groom's attire. 

 

 

Many grooms don't know where to start when it comes to picking their groom's suit. At SUAVE OWL, we think the more inspiration the better. Keep any details you know about the wedding in mind, any picked decor, wedding colours, or specific details, and then look for inspiration in blogs, magazines, and social media. Knowing what you are drawn to and how you would like to look in your groom's attire is important. Look for different suit colours, materials, styles, accessories, and shoes to see what you like. You may have some idea already, but have a look anyway - you may find that you surprise yourself!
