A wedding ceremony is the ultimate ‘go big’ day for both brides and grooms. From full-length bridal gowns in the ceremony to party-ready dresses in the evening, changing outfits in weddings has been a standard practice for the brides. But, why should girls have all the fun? Outfit changes for grooms are becoming more popular by days. Like the brides, modern grooms today are all in to rock a second epic look on their wedding day.

Why Change Outfits?

The biggest reason for brides opting for an outfit change is to wear an elaborate wedding gown for the ceremony, but swap it later for a more comfortable and practical number after the formalities are over. The same reason can be played for grooms also. Context or coherent theme can also bear a major role here. After adorning a traditional attire for the formal ceremony, the newlyweds can change into bespoke reception outfits reflecting their couple styles, tastes, or family traditions.

When to Change Outfits?

Between the ceremony and the reception, there is a definite change of tone in every wedding. So, changing the suit is most suited here. Another prime time to change the outfit is before heading to the cocktail hour. During this time, the guests tend to enjoy themselves more, than to worry about the bride and groom all the time. This gives a perfect opportunity for the groom to swap a shirt, shed some layers, or change few accessories and make a surprise reappearance with another jaw-dropping killer look.

How to Change Outfits?

Style experts suggest the grooms to go for a timeless look in their wedding ceremony by sticking with classic and elegant attire. They can freely opt for bolder choices during the reception and cocktail party. A three-piece tuxedo with a perfectly tied bowtie is the ultimate classic look for any groom. Trading the black tuxedo jacket for a white dinner coat, and swapping the bowtie with a slim tie, will deliver a different fresh vibe in the reception, just as easily and affordably.

If you’re looking to get married in a socially distanced fashion or whether you just love the idea of inviting all of your friends and family around for a street party wedding, there’s no doubt about the fact that this theme is growing increasingly popular. You can organize your own street party wedding for a fraction of the cost of a traditional white wedding, and it’s also pretty awesome. So, why would you say no to that? This is how you can host your own street party style wedding.

The Decorations

You can’t have a street party without decorations, which means that you also can’t have this kind of wedding without decorations. When it comes to this theme, it’s all about the bunting, the white tablecloths, fresh flowers, candles, and no-nonsense additions to your tables and wedding venue. You could host your street party in the street itself, your backyard, or your local playing field. It’s rustic, and it simply goes with the flow.

The Dress Code

The best thing about a street party style wedding is the fact that it’s not your typical wedding theme. While this day will still celebrate the love between you and your other half, there are no specific timings to adhere to, there are no rules that have to be abided by, and the whole vibe is much more relaxed. This means that you can wear sneakers with your wedding dress, your guests can wear what they feel comfortable in, and they don’t have to worry too much about being preened and perfect. This is your day, so you set the guidelines.

The Activities

You’ve gotta have games at a street party, right? Whether you keep your guests busy with your DIY photo booth or whether you whip out the hula hoops and the mini baseball set, garden games are a huge hit at street party weddings.
