Grooms’ Party Attire

Mageofhonor, on May 13, 2021 at 7:02 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16
Hi, all! We’re 6 months away, and I would love to get y’all’s opinion on what we could ask the grooms’ party to wear for our wedding! I’m getting pretty antsy w/ making final decisions since the clock is winding down 😅, and my fiancé keeps going back and forth between wanting them to wear a white shirt, brown vest, and RED pants. OR a white shirt, brown vest, and BLUE pants.


If it helps, below is something like what my fiancé is planning on wearing:Grooms’ Party Attire 1And here is what the bridesmaids will be wearing:Grooms’ Party Attire 2
Do you think either of those options above would work well w/ the ensemble, or something else entirely? I worry that any blue clothes might clash w/ his red attire or make the whole ensemble look too patriotic when we’re going for more of a warm and whimsical feel. Thanks in advance for your opinions!

    I agree with you - I think the red would look better with what you've posted above than the blue.

    I'd suggest they wear the same as him, but a different coloured vest and/or tie?

    I personally prefer for the groom and groomsmen to wear the same suit/tux and dress shirt, but a different colored tie and/or vest. I think the trend of the groom in a completely different outfit looks disjointed and makes the groom stick out like a sore thumb.

    I’m on the same page with you. I like a more consistent look for all of the men.

    Thanks for your input! Hadn’t considered a different vest before so that’s definitely something to try, and I love the idea of a different tie/accessory!

    Thanks for your input! That’s exactly what I’m worried about, TBH. 😅 I do like the idea of switching up one of the accessories while maintaining a consistent overall look.

    I would definitely go with the red pants because I agree, the blue pants would look too patriotic lol.

    I’m a fan of the groom standing out, but the outfits should certainly coordinate. This is a good example:

    I like what everyone else said about having the groom subtly stand out, but not too much. What we are doing is everyone in a black tux and black shirt. My FH (who is COMPLETELY against white for himself lol) is going to do a burgundy tie and burgundy vest and his groomsmen are going to wear a black tie and burgundy vest. So the only difference will be the tie. Can you maybe do something like that? If you are set on what you mentioned before, I'd say go red pants. I think the blue would just be too different!

    Love that idea of the subtle stand-out as well, and I love your color combos! I’ll just need to see if my FH is on board as well, lol. He loves a good bit of dramatic flair! 😂

    Thanks! I’m really looking forward to seeing them donned! 🤩 I don’t have a pic of the blue, but based off what FH has told me, I think it would be similar shade to the pic that Christy posted.

    I agree with the red - it will make the overall look more cohesive.

    I would say have the groomsmen wear a look similar to your husband but with some subtle differences. For our wedding, everyone is wearing the same suit and tie but my husband has a 3-piece suit whereas the groomsmen are in 2 piece versions.
