Bridesman Attire: Same as Groomsmen or Mix it Up?

Megan, on October 3, 2019 at 8:12 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
Hi everyone!

I have asked a few men to be in my bridal party and my fiancé and I are trying to decide what everyone will be wearing.

We know we want the groom in a navy blue suit & jacket with his groomsmen in navy blue suit pants & vest or suspenders.

What are your thoughts on having the bridesmen in the same color as the groomsmen? Since my girls will be wearing a dark pinkish color (haven’t decided but looking at DB Chianti color) I was thinking of having my guys wear essentially the same thing as the GM but in maroon. Then it would be a kinda mismatched look, which I don’t really mind.

As far as my guys go, they couldn’t care either way lol so that doesn’t narrow it down at all.

But I also think the blue would look really nice. We’re torn and may just have to go to a store and do a fashion show. Haha

We could also change the color of their shirts. I don’t know, there are so many options! Give me
your opinions!! Haha

Thanks in advance! 💕

    I had a bridesman in my wedding and he worn the same exact out as the groomswomen. My brother-in-law's wife had several bridesmen and they worn the same out as the groomsmen. I think the decision is really up to you, but I wanted to keep the look consistent.

    I would have them wear the same suit with a different tie color.

    I had a bridesman and I basically had him wear same attire as groomsmen but his bowtie was a diff color. His was pink to match the bridesmaids whereas the groomsmen were green

    I love when the bridesmen match the bridesmaids. I think it makes the group look cohesive on the sides. Your bridesmaid color may be difficult to match (though awesome looking if you can find it) in a full suit or just pants. You could still achieve this with the tie and suspenders however. The decision is up to you.

    Thanks! Yeah, I guess we just haven’t decided if we want a consistent look or not. It’ll be somewhat consistent on the grooms side, but not on mine. Sooo I guess I just have to figure out what “look” I’m going for. Thanks for your advice!

    That’s a good idea. What about different shirt and tie? Is that too much?

    I know! That’s why I was thinking maroon, so it would at least be in the same color spectrum. But I think I’m leaning toward blue just because I’m definitely not going to find “Chianti” suits 😂 and if I did my cousin would NOT wear it lol

    LOL Maroon would be easier to find and is such a great suit color in my opinion. The good thing is you really can't go wrong here. Your colors go so well together they will look great no matter what.
