One of the biggest mistakes is trying to force an exact match between different fabrics. Another is choosing the groom’s suit solely around the bridesmaid colour without considering whether it actually suits him.

Other common mistakes include matching too many elements, ignoring the venue, forgetting the season, choosing accessories before the suit, using too many colours, making the groom blend in too much with the wedding party and prioritising the theme over personal style.

A more sophisticated approach is usually colour harmony rather than exact matching.
