Les Détails qui Font la Différence
Shirt & Accessories
- Shirt : WHITE is essential - cream is acceptable. Never burgundy tone-on-tone
- Tie : Gold, navy, forest green, grey. Coordinate with the wedding palette
- Bow tie : Dark burgundy, black, gold. Ideal for a vintage style
- Pocket square : White (understated), gold (festive), discreet floral patterns
Shoes & Belt
- Shoes : Brown is ESSENTIAL - chocolate or cognac. Never black with burgundy
- Belt : Brown leather matching the shoes
- Socks : Burgundy to match the suit, or brown
- Avoid : Black shoes = clash - burgundy is a warm colour, it requires brown
Dress Coordination
- White dress : Perfect contrast - burgundy stands out beautifully
- Ivory / cream dress : Warm harmony - excellent for autumn
- Pale pink dress : Romantic coordination - burgundy + pink = elegant
- Avoid : Burgundy / red dress - too much of the same colour, no contrast
Groomsmen & Coordination
- Option 1 : Groom in burgundy, groomsmen in charcoal - groom stands out
- Option 2 : All in burgundy - strong visual cohesion, groom in three-piece vs two-piece
- Option 3 : Groom in burgundy, groomsmen in navy - elegant contrast
- Father of the groom : Classic grey or navy - should not wear burgundy
