Groomsmen attire color to go with dark grey bridesmaids dress

Caitlin, on May 18, 2018 at 10:07 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 22

I'm trying to figure out what color groomsmen pants/vest (worn with white shirt) would look best with this dark grey bridesmaid dress. I was originally thinking a lighter shade of grey but now I'm thinking that's too much grey (?). Wedding colors are grey, ivory, and heather purple.

    For my wedding all the suits are grey and the vests/pocket squares and bridesmaids are in plum purple.

    I would go with the purple if that's your other color.

    Grey and grey work nicely together. You just want a contrast. You don't want them all in the same shade of grey.

    For a grey dress, groomsmen attire can basically be any color you want! Grey is a pretty easy color to complement!

    I agree with this. Unless you want to add another color into your wedding, then I think a lighter grey would look nice!

    I think light grey would be pretty, with purple ties.

    The light grey will go great with the dark grey dresses.

    The groomsmen can use an ivory tie with their light grey suit

    That's a nice bouquet. It will look nice with both shades of grey and the ivory.

    Hi Caitlin,

    I really like the grey color you chose for BM's dresses. For the fellas, maybe a smoky/steel blue with ivory pocket squares? Has your FS decided on bowtie vs. neckties?

    Those are lovely examples! I was thinking a lighter shade of grey, or a black would look nice against the color of those dresses. Happy planning!
