Can't decide on groomsmen attire

Marissa, on June 25, 2020 at 6:30 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 27

So I'm trying to decide what color suits our groomsmen will wear. My bridesmaids are wearing steel blue dresses (from David's Bridal) and will be holding blush, vanilla, and burgundy colored flowers. I want the guys to wear matching steel blue ties, but I'm not sure if they should go with navy blue colored suits or a charcoal/gray colored suits? Would the navy blue be too much blue? Also their boutonnieres will have similar colors as the girls' bouquets.

    Wow that's hard! i love the contrast of the blue ties with the charcoal but i like how matchy the blue suits go with the blue dress.

    ultimately i think i would go with gray though.

    My best friend had the azazie equivalent of that color for our dresses and had blue suits and it looked really sharp. They weren't navy though, they were a little brighter/lighter shade.


    Also you can't go wrong with gray. But I'd got with a mid gray or light gray. Unless it's winter, then charcoal is good too. Maybe groomsmen in mid gray and groom in charcoal?

    Yeah I think I'm leaning towards gray suits after looking at these photos together. I like the contrast of the blue too.

    Thanks! Yeah there are lots of different shades of gray! Maybe the fathers can be in navy/blue suits?

    If your theme is rustic I would go blue suits. If it’s more formal (black tie) i would do black tux’s.

    ALSO. I also married a ginger! 🥰🥰🥰


    Aren't they the cutest?
    What does your fiancé want to wear? We had a winter wedding, the groomsmen wore black suits no vest black tie, and DH wore a custom 3 piece charcoal herringbone suit. Bridesmaids wore ivory and I wore lavender

    YES! My man is a ginger and he's very cute haha! 😍😍

    My fiancé is actually going to be wearing a kilt. These are his tartan colors and will be wearing either a navy blue vest or gray vest, depending on what the groomsmen will be wearing.

    Now that you have posted the tartan, I like the grey suits. I think that they will make the tartan pop more, and will also go better with the bridesmaid dresses.

    HELL YES. THIS IS AWESOME. I'd definitely recommend a black vest for him and grey for the rest of the lads. Totally up to you, obviously Smiley smile

    So my girls wore the exact same David’s bridal color and my flowers were blush, white and burgundy. I bought all the guys burgundy’s ties and I thought it looked great!!
