The Hidden Benefits of Making the Groom Shine in Your Photo Wedding

A photo wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone and the beautiful beginning of your next chapter together.

While the spotlight naturally tends to fall on the bride’s gorgeous dress, the groom is just as much the star of the day!

When you stand side-by-side in perfectly coordinated, sophisticated outfits, the visual quality of your entire photo album instantly upgrades.

Here at Photo Studio Palette Sapporo Chuo, we are incredibly passionate about both the bride’s stunning dress and the groom’s dapper tuxedo look.

We offer a carefully curated collection of premium-quality menswear, designed with impeccable cuts and fabrics.

Even if the groom doesn’t usually consider himself a fashion enthusiast, our styling team will help him transform into an effortlessly stylish and polished gentleman for the camera.

Sapporo’s Latest Trends: How to Choose a Fashion-Forward Tuxedo

The latest trends in modern photo weddings go far beyond traditional black and white!

Today, we are seeing a massive surge in the popularity of “nuance colors.”

Navy and grey offer a refined, effortless sophistication,

while warm earth tones like beige and brown are perfect for natural, relaxed settings.

At our studio, our formalwear collection features the latest trending tuxedos that combine high-end design with contemporary style.

Whether you are looking for a sleek, slim-fit silhouette that pairs beautifully with a chic wedding dress, or a timeless, classic design that exudes luxury,

we have the perfect fit. Our dedicated styling staff will look at the texture and tone of the bride’s selected gown to suggest the most harmonious and fashionable color pairings for you as a couple, making the process stress-free and fun.

Unsure What to Pick? Top 5 Most Popular Tuxedos at Photo Studio Palette

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the choices, don’t worry! We’ve put together our top 5 most popular tuxedos, based on real feedback and choices from our actual couples.

1. Pure White

For couples who want to embrace that classic, fairy-tale romance and a sense of luxury, pure white remains an absolute favorite. It is the ultimate choice for chapel-style backdrops or any scene where you want to emphasize a timeless, romantic, and sacred atmosphere.

2. Warm Brown

Dark brown brings a rich, classic, and vintage-like atmosphere to the screen.

It is highly recommended for autumn or winter shoots, or for grooms who want to project a warm, mature, and sophisticated elegance.

We also offer a lighter, soft latte-brown color that gives off a gentle and approachable impression.

Paired with a caramel-orange bow tie as a stylish accent, and a dark-toned inner vest to visually trim the silhouette,

this look is exceptionally flattering and highlights a well-proportioned frame.

3. Classic Black

You can never go wrong with a formal black tuxedo.

It is highly versatile and complements any color or style of gown the bride chooses, serving as a clean anchor for the entire composition.

At our studio, we offer both classic solid black bow ties and playful polka-dot patterns.

Choosing a polka-dot bow tie is an excellent, lighthearted way to add a touch of modern personality to a traditional look!

4. Sophisticated Navy

Slightly softer and more relaxed than solid black, navy blue adds a fresh, intelligent, and sharp impression.

The premium fabric subtly catches the light to reveal deep blue undertones, making it the perfect choice for a “Quiet Luxury” aesthetic.

It’s a universally flattering color that pairs beautifully with any dress style.

5. Light Grey

Delivering a highly urban and minimalist aesthetic, light grey is incredibly popular among grooms who want a sleek, contemporary edge.

It offers a subtle, intellectual charm and serves as the perfect “supporting actor,” making the colors of the bride’s gown pop beautifully.

It’s All in the Details: Styling the Groom’s Accessories

Once you’ve selected the tuxedo, the fun part of choosing your accessories begins!

How you coordinate these small details will elevate the overall artistry of your photos. At Palette, a complete tuxedo look includes these five key elements:

• The Dress Shirt When you shoot with us, the classic tuxedo dress shirt is included as a free rental!

• Professional cleaning fees are already covered within our packages, so you don’t have to worry about rushing to prepare one beforehand.

• (Please note that a fee may apply in cases of extreme damage or heavy staining.)

• If you want to show off your personal style, we also highly welcome you to bring your own shirt for free!

  • Styling tip: Try a band-collar shirt for a relaxed, modern look.

  • Styling tip: A cozy turtleneck sweater is perfect for a winter-themed shoot in Hokkaido.

• The Tie or Bow Tie

  Bow ties are currently the most popular choice for modern photo weddings! The color, pattern, and fabric can completely change the vibe of your outfit. We also carry classic long neckties, so feel free to ask our staff to try different styles.

  • Classic & Playful: Bow Tie

  • Traditional & Formal: Classic Necktie

• The Boutonniere

  This is the small floral arrangement pinned to the groom’s left lapel.
  We love coordinating the boutonniere with the bride’s bouquet to tie your look together beautifully.

• This is a great place to add a pop of color or a fun pattern! We ask that you bring your favorite pair of socks from home.

• Shoes Classic formal shoes are also included in your photography package! In line with today’s natural and relaxed trends, brown leather shoes are highly popular.
