FH will b wearing all black w/purple tie & hanky .Now we're trying to see what should the groomsmen wear.. We saw some pics of burgundy suits .. What would b your thoughts on the groomsmen color?

    My concern is that if you don't pick the perfect shades of burgundy and purple, they could just feel like mismatched purples in photos. Maybe narrow it down to a fewer colors or allow for the color palette to be everything from burgundy to purple... like all shades of reds and purples?

    I love the burgundy suits! But if your FH is set on wearing a black suit and purple tie, I think the burgundy and purple will clash.

    What about bridesmaids in purple and groom/groomsmen in black tux with burgundy ties?

    @Sarah M. I saw a color palette where those colors won't clash.

    If they are wearing suits I would take swatches of your colors to the shop and play around with different ties, pocket squares, and even socks.

    Thanks Sarah M. I was thinking that if they go with the burgundy suits that they should do black shirts

    I'm with Richard about the burgundy suits, especially with FH being in purple. I think the two colors could be too clashy if on the same sides. What about alternate purple or gold dresses with burgundy ties?

    So this is what I'm seeing:

    -groom in black with purple tie

    -groomsmen in burgundy with black shirts

    -bridesmaids in black

    Maybe you can incorporate the purple and burgundy in the bouquets? To tie it all together?
