Suit Up for Spring: Formalwear Trends for 2026 Weddings & Events
As spring ushers in a new season of celebrations, it’s the perfect time to refresh your look, and for grooms, groomsmen, and prom-goers alike, that starts with the suit.
At Louisville Suits (located inside Lloyd’s Florist), we’ve rounded up the top formalwear trends for Spring 2026. From modern color palettes to thoughtful accessories, here’s what’s in and how we help you wear it well.
1. Lighter Tones Take the Lead
Move over, black. This spring, we’re seeing a rise in lighter, elegant neutrals:
Ivory and soft tan
Light gray and dove
Sage green or muted blue
These tones work beautifully for outdoor weddings, modern venues, and spring garden parties. They also pair perfectly with blush florals, gold accents, and organic textures.
2. Statement Accessories
Today’s grooms want more than the basics. Accessories are a chance to personalize:
Patterned or velvet bow ties
Coordinated pocket squares
Monogrammed cufflinks
Fun socks for a peek of personality
These pieces let each member of the wedding party express their individual style, while still looking cohesive.
3. Mix & Match Wedding Parties
Not every groomsman needs to wear the same thing. More couples are embracing:
Slightly varied suit shades in the same palette
Groom in a standout jacket (velvet, patterned, or color pop)
Varying accessories while keeping the base outfit unified
This creates visual interest and lets personalities shine, without losing coordination.
4. Fit is Everything
Gone are the days of boxy tuxedos. Today’s cuts are sleek, tailored, and modern:
Slim and modern fits
Stretch fabrics for comfort and movement
Clean lapel lines and tapered pants
At Louisville Suits, Pam Gaddie ensures every party member gets measured properly and feels confident in their look.
5. Coordinated Floral & Fashion
When you book both your suits and your flowers with Lloyd’s, magic happens. Our floral team coordinates boutonniere colors, textures, and delivery with your suits for a fully polished look.
Does the groom’s tie match the bride’s bouquet? Check. Groomsmen boutonnieres arrive pre-pinned with color-matched petals? You got it.
We streamline your experience, save you time, and make sure everything looks stunning, on camera and in person.
