After 6 Wedding Attire Advice Please! If the groom wears a tux, can the groomsmen wear suits?

Mia, on February 16, 2019 at 6:31 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4

Hi ladies! My groom will be wearing a black tux for the wedding. We were told his groomsmen should wear a tux as well. This is causing an issue when it comes to him standing out from the crowd. We may have the groomsmen wear blush bow ties (we were told people don't wear regular ties with a tux). What do you all think? Do the groomsmen have to wear ties? I know it's my wedding but I like knowing the traditional look. Thanks!

    I personally think ties finish the look. I personally look of all the men in tux. The groom will stand out no matter what, but if you want idea to make him pop you could give him a larger boutineer or have him in a different color tie.

    For consistency’s sake I would have all the boys in tuxedos. It’s very easy to make the groom stand out with a different vest/tie, different boutonnière, etc. A tuxedo would look very odd being such a formal suit without a tie to complete it. If the groomsmen wear blush bow ties, you could put the groom in the classic black bow tie, or white/silver. You could also have a different, more formal jacket for the groom. (Shawl collar, white jacket, navy and black jacket, etc)

    Hey Mia! I personally love the cohesive look of all of the groomsmen in a tux! The groom will definitely stand out, no matter what they are wearing! I like the idea above of having him have a different color boutonnière!
