Up until recently, grooms were a neglected lot who wore whatever was recommended to them, but now the game is changing.

When it comes to pairing up your wedding outfits, as long as you stay in the same colour family you won’t look out of place. TIn this picture, you see that the couple is perfectly matched with two different hues of green.

This is a unique way of pairing up – use the same colour palette and then twist it up with a shade you like. Works like a charm.
