Wedding lesbian outfits

By

For opposite-sex couples, wedding day style is fairly tried and tested. But for same sex couples, the rules are not so fixed. One of you might want to rock a contemporary blue suit, while the other would prefer to go shadowy tie, and if you're both wearing wedding dresses, there are endless shapes, styles and types of gowns to contrast (or clash) your looks.

Then there's the question of whether you shop together so the styles gel, or leave your looks as a surprise for the big day? To help you wade through all the potential dress code dilemmas ahead of your big day, we've consulted some professionals, and looked to super stylish newlyweds to circular up tips and inspiration for same sex wedding style.

Ideas for Styling Same Sex Couples

1. A Colour in Common

If you and your other half wear entirely personalised looks on your wedding day, you could always style in a common colour through elements of your ensembles. These pairing pinks with burgundy touches are beyond chic!

2. Pairing Pastels

Wearing different colours from the identical family is an easy way to create an ultra

Okay, let’s be real. Up until recently, good suits were not made for people with curves. And definitely not LGBTQ+ wedding suites&#;tailored, amazing suits you could feel like a rock star in. Even back before I was planning a wedding, I remember having such a complicated time finding off the rack button up shirts, suit jackets or pants that fit the way I wanted them to. I didn’t even want to wear suits all the moment, but I wanted a pleasant professional one to wear to interviews and work. And it was a pain!

The jacket sleeves were too short. I couldn’t lift my arms above my head. The pants were too long and too wide. The pants were too high waisted. My boobs were too enormous and the shirt stretched in all the wrong places.

C’mon, why was it so hard to find a suit that I loved that loved my body as well!?

Even 10 years ago when I was planning my wedding I remember learning that there was ONE store in the San Francisco Bay area that specialized in suits and button downs for the LGBTQ+ community. ONE. C’mon.

These days I’m so excited that the wants and needs of our community have been heard!

Legal marriages between women may be new in many countries, but lesbian marriage in all but law has existed for hundreds of years. I say lesbian because this blog focuses on the specific clothing experiences of lesbians; I do recognise, however, that most women historically would not have had this terminology, and that many women who get married to women in the present day (and even who may be pictured in this post) identify as queer in different ways. I am coming to this post as a lesbian with a specifically lesbian analysis, and the naming of marriage between women as “lesbian marriage” is not meant to be exclusionary, but political. It is also personal to me &#; I’m posting this on the 11th December , and my own lesbian wedding is in 3 days moment. When I get dressed on that morning, I’ll be walking in the shoes of the women who I write about below. 

There are historical records and evidence of various marriages &#; both real and symbolic &#; between women in the UK and the US from centuries gone by, and in other parts of the world marriages often occured between two women.

Gender norms are so . . actually construct it like lol. Whatever year you wanna say that gender norms should’ve stopped—my point is that they’re SO outdated and I love that as a society, we’re working so challenging to get rid of them!! I mean did we all not watch Barbie last year?! The wedding industry is probably one of the BIGGEST spaces where gender norms have been enforced for, well, forever: light wedding dresses, black tuxedos, and nothing else. I’m a adj bored of it, if you ask me, and would muchhhh rather see couples going their own route + wearing what makes them feel like their best selves, whether that means rocking a nontraditional wedding dress, an androgynous suit, or one of many totally gender nonconforming wedding outfit ideas.
