In the realm of weddings, it's not just about uniting as a couple but also celebrating each person's unique style. Each partnership tells a different story, and your wedding day look should reflect both your individual personalities and the vibe you share. We’ve curated a collection of wedding style pairings that offer inspiration for those looking to honor their personal tastes while crafting a cohesive look that resonates with their shared aesthetic. From vintage charm to eccentric elegance, each pairing is designed to ensure that both parties express themselves and create a memorable, unified look on their special day.
Vintage Charm
Step back in time with vintage couple style that blends nostalgic elegance with a contemporary cool. Brides revel in the romance of antique lace, ivory taffeta, corsetry and voluminous hips that speak of a bygone era, while grooms adopt a more retro yet dapper approach with double breasted blazers, high-waisted trousers or a faded brown palette. This pairing not only captures the timeless appeal of vintage fashion but also incorporates a modern twist, making it ideal for couples who admire the past but live in the present.

Eclectic Spirit
This one is for those that dare to be different, a wedding style that's as unique as the couple themselves. Grooms dazzle in printed eclectic suits that showcase a mix of patterns and colors, from subtle botanical prints to audacious geometric designs. While brides opt for breathtaking white gowns enriched with textures of layers of lace, elaborate beading, voluminous ruffles or a splash of color, adding dimensional quality to the classic white, creating an eye-catching interplay of simplicity and complexity.

Timeless Classics
This pairing is a nod to timeless elegance and modern glamour. For grooms, opt for classic black or ivory tuxedos for a sophisticated and gentlemanly appeal, complete with a crisp white shirt, cuff links, and of course, a satin bow tie and patent leather shoe. For brides, it's all about grace, bringing an extra level of refinement with dramatic ball gowns, classic antique lace or corseted silhouettes. Balance these traditional go-to looks with an air of modernity through, clean, glowing skin and effortless hair, and delicate jewelry.

Gothic Renaissance
Where timeless romance meets bold drama, the Gothic Renaissance style is perfect for couples who love a touch of the unconventional. For brides, the Gothic Renaissance style is all about opulence and drama, with gowns richly adorned in lace or sumptuously draped fabrics. Darker makeup palettes and traditional veils add a mysterious allure, enhancing the gothic theme with a touch of classic bridal grace. Grooms contrast this look with their own unique flair, whether it’s through a boldly printed shirt that adds a modern twist or a traditional suit that lends a stark but intriguing contrast. This pairing creates a visually captivating dynamic that blends the darkly romantic with the elegantly timeless, perfect for couples who wish to celebrate their union with a nod to the grandeur of the past while making a bold contemporary statement.

Casual Cool
For the couple who just ooze that 'it couple' style—an undeniably cool aura that can make any look an iconic moment. For the brides, it’s all about accessorizing. Style a micro mini or oversized blazer with a voluminous statement veil, chic kitten heels, and a little something extra special, like a pearl clutch or layers of jewelry. For grooms, opt for a casual suit layered with a t-shirt, or simply a silk shirt with trousers, completed with dress shoes or loafers. A perfect look for an intimate, casual wedding or a civil ceremony while also being a budget-friendly option.

Avant-Garde
For the dreamers at heart, the couple that long for undeniably unique looks that are sure to stir conversation. This theme is all about drama, where more is more is more, with the overall aesthetic sculpted around the couple at the heart of it all. For a truly avant-garde look, work with a designer to create custom couture looks that can bring your vision to life while harmonizing each silhouette with the other.

Garden Party
For their garden wedding, couples can embrace attire that perfectly matches the serene, natural setting. Brides may choose flowy dresses made from light, airy fabrics such as organza, beautifully adorned with floral patterns that echo the garden's bloom. Grooms can complement this relaxed aesthetic with suits in soft, earthy tones, opting for a laid-back style by forgoing traditional ties in favor of an open collar or a simple necktie. This approach ensures both comfort and style, making the couple look effortlessly elegant against the backdrop of a lush outdoor setting.

Beachy Ease
A perfect pairing for a seaside celebration, this style is all about lightweight fabrics and a relaxed elegance. Brides shine in flowing, silky dresses that move gracefully with the ocean breeze and exude an effortless sophistication, or oceanic inspired adornment of pearls and glimmering beadwork. Grooms complement this with linen suits and open collars for a laid-back vibe or breathable tailored suits in soft, beach-inspired tones. Together, this pairing balances casual charm and refined style, perfectly attuned to the scenic coastal backdrop.

All White
For couples who revel in stylistic harmony, matching whites in their wedding attire offer a unique and modern twist to their celebration. This can manifest as couples donning almost identical looks for a gender-neutral approach, or opting for unique sihouettes that connect in aesthetic or texture. The key here is to match your whites, keep cool whites with cool whites and vice versa for warm whites, to avoid any clash in tones that won't photograph well. A beautiful visual symbol of your unity.
