Choosing matching wedding wardrobes
When it comes to the biggest day of your life, you’re either going to want matching wedding wardrobes or you’re not.
At Melbourne Expos Bridal, we know your wedding day and everything leading up to it is likely to be full of photographs and the decision to have matching wedding wardrobes throughout the process is completely up to you.
So, if you’re bordering on the idea of matching wedding wardrobes when you celebrate your nuptials, it’s worth putting some real thought into how you and your partner dress. Here’s some ideas for how Melbourne couples can pull it off with a mix of style and ease.
Plan it together
Coordinating your wedding clothes doesn’t mean you have to dress like twins, unless that’s the look you’re really going for! Think more ‘in sync’ with each other, but not identical. From engagement shoots down at Brighton Beach to candid moments during your rooftop cocktail hour in the city, these are the images that will fill your home, your photo albums and your lives for many years to come.
Engagement snaps
Whether you’re taking a romantic stroll through the gardens or posing against the super popular graffiti walls of Hosier Lane, your engagement photos are your first chance to introduce yourselves as a soon-to-be-married couple. Are you going for a relaxed vibe or looking to be cute and romantic? Whatever you choose, make sure your outfits feel like they belong in the scenario. A flowy linen dress pairs beautifully with an open-collar shirt and chinos, a perfect look for a casual beach shoot or a garden picnic-style session.
Celebrating with a rehearsal dinner
Some couples choose to have a rehearsal dinner ahead of the big day. This could be a cosy evening of dinner and drinks, so what you wear should reflect the elevated yet relaxed tone of the night. Keep it simple, but throw in hints of what your wedding style may look like.
The Big Day
When it comes to the biggest day of your life it’s all about maintaining balance. You don’t want one of you showing up looking super-formal while the other looks dressed down. If you’re in a classic full-length gown, your partner might suit a tux or a three-piece suit, something that holds its own but complements your look. For more relaxed weddings, like an intimate ceremony at a winery or a garden, you could go with a simpler silk dress and an earth-toned suit. The aim is to look like you belong at the same celebration, without feeling too styled or staged.
Planning your wedding wardrobe together is a beautiful way to show who you are as individuals and as a couple. It doesn’t have to be about strict rules, just a look or vision you share together.
