Read on to learn more.

Embrace tweed season

Rustic weddings embrace everything about traditional British country life — the charm of rolling hills, vintage barns and warm greens and light browns of the natural landscape. When you’re fitting a suit to this vibe, tweed is your best friend. 

Tweed brings texture, vintage appeal, and personality to your suit that perfectly matches countryside settings and a rustic wedding aura. 

For the perfect rustic vibe, try a brown, moss green or slate tweed suit – make sure to add a waistcoat for a timelessly British finish. 

Pair it with a patterned tie – or a bow tie – and brogue shoes to complete the look. 

Lightweight is king 

Rustic, countryside weddings are usually held in the spring or summer. This means one thing – it’s hot.

To keep yourself cool, wearing a light wool or linen suit is perfect. They’re breathable and lightweight, letting you celebrate with a few dance moves, keep cool and look sharp doing it. 

Fitting a rustic theme means sticking to warm, yet standout colours to make an impact while also blending seamlessly with the wedding decorations and location. 

The suit colours that will be your best friends here are sand, beige, olive or a dusty blue these colours perfectly complement a countryside or floral backdrop of a rustic wedding. 

To complete the look, pair your suit with an open-collar shirt or chambray. This look doesn’t require a tie to pull off a sharp, elegant look.  

Just be mindful of the wedding dress code. If it’s a “suit and tie” wedding, you may want to change it up. 

It doesn’t have to match 

One of the hottest suit trends is mismatching your suit. 

Bear in mind it’s typically for more relaxed weddings – maybe if you’re turning up for the evening and are looking to make a statement. 

However, mismatching your suit jacket, trousers and waistcoat gives off an effortlessly cool, laid-back appeal that blends perfectly with rustic themes and countryside backgrounds.  

You can pull off a crisp, sharp look with a mismatched suit too – it doesn’t have to come across as relaxed. 

For this, try a Bartela blazer, navy slacks and a white dress shirt. For those that like to mix and match, this is a timeless classic. The navy slacks and dress shirt add a touch of class, while the beige checkered blazer offers a complementary tone to a wedding with a natural, rustic tone. 

Looking for the laid-back look? Try a dark-grey suit jacket with dark jeans. 

Accessorise both of these combinations with your choice of floral pocket square to add a touch of nature and further complement a traditionally British rustic wedding. 

Take your jacket off 

It may sound bold, but sometimes it helps to let your waistcoat do all the talking and leave the jacket on the hanger. 

The waistcoat-only look is perfect for rustic weddings, barn parties and outdoorsy summer settings. Choosing your waistcoat is crucial to helping you strike that balance between casual yet crisp and well put-together. 

Try a patterned or textured waistcoat with a plain white dress shirt. Rolling up the sleeves can help keep you cool when you’re busting a move while also completing the look at the same time. 

To add to the rustic feel, pair this with trouser braces. Braces are the perfect accessory for rustic weddings. They pay homage to the roaring 20s and smart farm-chic of the time — think Great Gatsby meets the countryside. 

Finish off your look with a pair of brown loafers for a touch of flair and comfort as well as being a fashionable, bold footwear statement. 

Shake up your colours 

Gone are the days of black, grey and navy suits for weddings – unless the dress code states that of course. 

If you have free rein, then you might want to try mixing up your suit colours. Think deeper hues and rich tones to give off a woodland vibe that nods to the rustic backdrop of a rural wedding. 

Dark green and burgundy suits are perfect for this — they’re deep tones that exude romance. They’re perfect for autumnal rustic weddings as well as floral, springtime weddings. 

When choosing a dark green or burgundy suit, make sure you opt for matte-finish fabrics — like wool, cotton or suede materials — with wooden or brass cufflinks to accentuate the look.
