Wedding Attire | Contemporary Wedding Party Look

As couples plan their wedding, attire is a pretty big deal. Not only is the bride searching for her own gown, but she must decide what her bridesmaids will wear. Long or short? Formal or casual? Colorful or neutral? Print or solid? And as for the groom, he not only needs to decide if he prefers a tuxedo to a suit, but also consider just a shirt and tie, or maybe no tie at all, and then what the rest of the guys will be wearing.

Liz & Don, above, took the less formal approach. And although their wedding was formal overall, Liz encouraged her bridesmaids to wear any chocolate brown, knee-length dress they were comfortable in, and Don asked his friends to wear a suit in any shade of brown they owned. Liz gifted teal shoes to each bridesmaid, and Don gave the guys matching ties & pocket squares to pull the entire look together.

I love this laid-back, non-matchy-matchy look they accomplished for their wedding day. It certainly is an updated look for a contemporary wedding party!
