If you are looking for something a bit more on the semi-casual side, look no further than Ari Geffrard of Just Ariam. Geffrard showcases clean, fitted suits for your wedding day. Gerrard’s style is full of neutral and striped looks.
“It’s literally the perfect season to experiment with style and self-expression,” Ariam tells Buzzfeed. Mixing patterns between the Four-in-Hand Knot tie and vest create an eye-catching minimalist style. These looks are blazer-free which is often ideal in the warmer months.

Wedding suits can be affordable and fashionable. Lance Franklin of Good Boy Fashion offers budget-friendly suit inspiration. He styles pocket squares and bowties in a unique way.
Weddings can be expensive, but the suit doesn’t have to be. Franklin’s focus on body positivity and fashion helps him create looks to inspire others. He is a thrifter and shops at JCPenny, Old Navy and Ralph Lauren.

Cris Domingo, La Garconniere
Cris Domingo of La Garconniere is an androgynous fashion blogger. Domingo values Italian suits because of the cuts and patterns. “A check suit has a vintage elegance to it that is both contemporary and traditional. This classic navy and green tartan suit is once again a smart option for sharp dressers,” Domingo tells Lysa Africa. A patterned three-piece suit for a formal wedding can be an option for an evening or daytime wedding and offers a conservative look on your big day.
