Being selected for Homecoming Court is a BIG moment. Between the gown, the escort, the pictures, the walk across the field and all the little details in between, there is a lot more to plan than simply choosing something pretty to wear.
One of the biggest questions we hear is:
Does my escort have to match my dress?
Nope!
The goal isn't to dress exactly alike. The goal is to create two looks that coordinate beautifully together.
At Scents & Styles Boutique in LaGrange, GA, we can help you put the entire Homecoming Court look together — from the gown to your escort's suit or tuxedo and coordinating accessories.
👑 Start With the Gown
Ladies, your gown comes first.
Choose the gown you love before worrying about what your escort will wear. Once you know the color and overall style of your dress, it becomes much easier to build his look around yours.
If your gown is glamorous and covered in sparkle, his look might be classic and sophisticated.
If your gown is sleek and modern, a contemporary suit may complement it perfectly.
You don't need two competing outfits.
You want one beautiful Homecoming Court look.
🤵🏽 Now Let's Dress the Escort
Once we know what she's wearing, it's time to decide:
Suit or tuxedo?
A classic black tuxedo is always a strong choice, but it certainly isn't the only one.
Depending on the gown, an escort might look great in black, navy, grey, tan, white or another suit or tuxedo color.
And remember — we don't necessarily need his entire outfit to match her gown.
That's where the DETAILS come in.
🎨 Coordinate — Don't Over-Match
Let's say her gown is hot pink.
He does NOT have to walk onto the field looking like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol. 😂
A black tuxedo with a pink bow tie, vest or pocket square could give you the coordination you want without going overboard.
The same idea works with red, royal blue, emerald, purple, gold and other gown colors.
Accessories can pull everything together:
Bow ties • Neck ties • Vests • Pocket squares • Boutonnieres
Sometimes the smallest detail makes the biggest difference.
📸 Think About the Pictures
Homecoming Court means pictures.
LOTS of pictures. 😂
You'll probably take photos before Homecoming, during the presentation, with family, with friends and with your escort.
When choosing your looks, think about how the two outfits will photograph together.
The colors should complement each other, but each person should still look like themselves.
Twenty years from now, you're going to have those pictures.
Make them GOOD. 👑
📏 Fit Matters for BOTH of You
Ladies, make sure you're considering the length of your gown with the shoes you'll actually wear.
Guys, proper measurements are just as important.
Sleeve length, pant length, jacket fit and shirt size can completely change how a suit or tuxedo looks.
A beautiful outfit that doesn't fit properly isn't going to give you the same polished result.
⏰ Homecoming Court Should NOT Wait Until the Last Minute
If you've already been selected for Homecoming Court, start planning now.
Waiting can mean fewer options in your preferred:
Size • Color • Style • Accessories
Your escort also needs enough time to be measured and get his formal wear together.
Getting started early gives everyone more choices and a LOT less stress.
👑 Make Your Homecoming Court Moment Count
This is more than another school dance.
It's a moment you'll remember.
Let us help you coordinate a Homecoming Court look that feels polished, photographs beautifully and lets BOTH of you shine.
