Any Suggestions?

Andrea, on September 3, 2019 at 6:21 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22

Hi everyone!

I would love some of your suggestions. My wedding colors are purple (eggplant), white and silver. My MOH and my 3 bridesmaids will be wearing purple floor length dresses with silver shoes (of whatever variation they choose)but FH and I are totally stumped at what the groomsmen should wear. I feel like full purple suits would be way too much. What color suits do you think the groomsmen should wear so that it's a good balance?

    Grey might be nice with a purple bow-tie and socks. Maybe even some purple suspenders.

    I have the same colors going on!! We're thinking of charcoal grey suits with some type of purple suspenders for the GMs, and FH is going to wear some type of purple vest (instead of suspenders).

    I haven't found the suspenders or vest that I want yet. But I do think that charcoal grey will be the best suit color for our color scheme.

    One other idea we're batting around is the idea of black suits. I've also been thinking about incorporating black in some other areas (decor), so black could also work, as black and purple look awesome together.

    We have the same colors. Groomsmen are wearing charcoal tuxes, with a plum tie from men’s Wearhouse.

    Hey Cristy!

    That's so cool that you have the same colors as me!! Yeah, it seems like grey actually might be an excellent choice. |t's not too dark or light. It's really neutral. The suspenders idea is really cool, but I doubt our groomsmen will dig it, LOL! I was considering black, but wasn't sure if it would throw the entire color scheme off. Thank you so much for your input!Smiley smile

    Hey Kelly!

    Yeah, Charcoal grey seems to be a good choice, as I am seeing. Plum tie for the splash of color. I really like the idea. Thank you so much.

    I like the idea of the grey suit. I think it would go very nicely with your colors.

    You're very welcome Andrea!! Purple is my all time favorite color, for most of my life. So, of course that's going to be the main color for my wedding! But I also love black, almost as much as purple. The main reason we've been staying away from it is because it's bound to be pretty hot on our wedding day (May 30, 2020) where we're from, and I keep thinking everyone will be sweating their butts off in black suits!

    Also, I'm just not sure yet how much black will actually make it into the decor, and I don't want the men to look all stark and stand out from everything else. I'd rather they blend, so grey may be the perfect choice.

    It's funny about the suspenders. It's actually not my first choice, but knowing FHs groomsmen, it's perfect for them!! They're a bunch of country boys, lol

    I would gravitate toward grey, your FH could wear white and they could all wearing matching ties that go with the bridesmaid dresses.

    We used light grey for ourGM suits I place of silver. Our colors were eggplant, crimson and silver. I think the light grey would look great with the eggplant! Hubs didnt want the guys in purple so we did wedding party in crimson.

    Any Suggestions? 1
