Groomsmen wearing different brand black suits? Does anyone have pics like this?

I imagine there will be differences in the shades of black. Think like a prom group picture. The guys all have black but if you stare long enough and close enough you can spot the dye difference. I don't think it will matter much since it seems no one will really be matching.

I think it’ll be totally fine especially with your bridesmaids dresses. And they’re all black so it’s not like some have black and some blue. I don’t think anyone will look twice at it

Awesome! Thanks!

I think they will be close enough in color. It's the style of the suit that I would think would be more noticeable than the suits not actually being the same exact shade.

View Quoted Comment Do you mean like slim fit, modern, and traditional suit fits?

View Quoted Comment I meant like the cut of the actual suits might not look the same which would in my opinion stand out more than a slightly different color black.

Welp, there will be slight color differences in the suits but not crazy noticeable where it looks ugly. My then fiancé gave the groomsmen a website link where they would be able to order a specific color of charcoal gray we asked them to get so they would all match (it was very affordable) and two of them still bought a suit elsewhere without telling us and I didn’t notice until I was looking at the pictures. Kinda annoying yes but the worst thing ever lol


Attached is the pic where you can see 2nd and 5th guy bought their suit elsewhere.

Even though the suits were a little mismatched. They almost spelled out the word Copyright with the variations among them.

The thing I'm reminded of here is that of forewarning the wedding party of some costs and details of their commitment. Some may be able to spend more than others. The guys might have a suit that seems close enough, so they don't go buy another one. The gals might not be anticipating hairstyling or make up costs, if those are "required."

Anyhow, that picture confirms that the different suits can work fine together. Even the suits from the same place appear with different shades -- which could just be lighting differences too.

View Quoted Comment Lol yea unfortunately I haven’t received my official pics yet so I just have the copyright pics the photographer sent.🤷🏽‍♀️


Yes I agree, that’s why we made everything very affordable under $100 the girls all got the right colored dress so luckily no probs mismatching there. Plus didn’t require any shoes, makeup, or hairstyling they just did it themselves and used shoes they already had.
Yep, it’s not a huge deal.

This is what we're doing with our whole bridal party. Wear a black suit or dress. If you have one, great. If you want a reason to buy something new, great. Grooms side is wearing black shoes and my side is wearing a different color of fun shoes. We're providing ties, pocket squares, and socks for those wearing suits and jewelry (necklace, earrings, hair pin) for those wearing dresses. For us everyone but one person in our bridal party needs to do significant travel for our wedding so we're trying to help keep their costs down.

For our wedding the guys wore black tuxedos, but they were allowed to wear the ones they already owned!! I think they looked great and very uniform:

OMG they did not! Well I think they still look great, but I'm sure it would have been nice to know ahead of time.

We did this for a friend's wedding last year! Both my partner and I were groomspeople (I'm on the right, he's on the left) for a friend and the groom just asked us to get a black suit, black shoes, and white shirt; he provided ties and pocket squares for us.

I mix-and-matched my suit attire from H&M and Express and my partner got his stuff from H&M and the Best Man already had a black suit in his closet.

Honestly in all the pictures, it all matches up and looks fine even though the Best Man's suit was more on the cooler side of black while my partner and mine were like a warmer black.

The guys in my wedding will be wearing wrangler jeans (Black), white button-down shirts, Cowboy boots, and black vests.
