Look 1:
H&M linen-cotton blazer, $69.95, and shorts, $34.95; Canali woven-cotton shirt, $295; and Bottega Veneta calf-suede shoes, $750.

The Fiancée:
“This looks cute, and I like that it’s not too traditional. I want something casual and fun, but Curtis might think the shorts are too weird for a wedding.”

The Mother of the Groom:
“Whoa! This shocked me. It looks like attire for a fancy picnic. But I like the colors with his red hair and fair skin.And it shows off his nice legs.”

The Mother of the Bride:
“This is a bad idea for a wedding. It’s too casual, like he’s going on vacation. It reminds me of a safari hunter inSouth Africa.”

“It’s a little goofy, but in a good way.I’ve never thought of this colorcombination before—it’s fun. I likethat it’s unexpected and a little quirky.”

The Mother of the Groom:
“I like the two-tone look, but I’mhaving trouble with the color of thejacket. It seems like something a guestwould wear, but not the groom.”

The Mother of the Bride:
“He should wear this. It’s easy, young,and lighthearted, and I like the color ofthe jacket. He looks French, or like amusician. This is my favorite.”
