Today, we are excited to dive into coordinating looks for same-sex couples.
We believe love is love in all its forms, and we take pride in being a supportive resource for every type of person and couple.

Join us as we explore the endless possibilities of blending love with style!
Navigating Fashion Choices for Same-Sex CouplesIn our industry, we have to break away from traditional terms like bride and groom as we work more and more with same-sex couples. In the past, people have asked if our company, The Stylish Bride, is exclusively for brides. That has allowed us to share and showcase all the diverse and wonderful people we have supported and styled for their wedding journeys.
Coordinating Looks for Two BridesWhen working with two brides, it is crucial to understand their preferences for coordinating or being different. The first step is deciding how they want their outfits to complement each other, whether through similar floral details, garment styles, or other elements. Communication and alignment on these preferences are most important.
Shopping Together or SeparatelyCouples deciding whether to shop together or separately is another essential aspect. If a couple opts for shopping together, we advise them to focus on only one of them at a time to ensure a personalized experience. We also suggest considering formality, comfort, and timelines for their orders.
Coordinating Looks for Two GroomsMen typically have a more limited selection of clothing, usually pants, jackets, shirts, suits, and tuxedos. The first step is deciding on the formality level of the event. For black tie events, matching or complementary tuxedos is a common choice, and for more relaxed events, suits usually work best.
Relaxed Dress Codes for MenWhen men select a relaxed dress code, coordinating colors or fabrics while allowing for individual touches, like different accessories or subtle variations, can go a long way in creating a cohesive yet personalized appearance. Choosing a color palette where outfits complement each other rather than clash is crucial. That means avoiding stark contrasts in fabric type or color intensity and selecting complementary hues and fabric weights instead.
Final ThoughtsUltimately, the key to coordinating looks for same-sex couples lies in open communication, understanding individual preferences, and finding ways to balance cohesion and personal expression. Whether shopping together or separately, prioritizing comfort and authenticity ensures a memorable and meaningful wedding experience.
