Mismatched wedding party

Mrsjacoria2018, on March 19, 2018 at 1:22 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16
So I'm having mismatched bridesmaids, kind of like in this picture, but without the gold bridesmaid. I'm having gold flowergirls.
And I don't really know what to do about the groomsmen? Should I have them wear matched bowties and vests to the bridesmaid they walk down? I can't really find a lot of examples of groomsmen attire. I'm not even sure what color suit to have them wear. Photos of examples are appreciated.

    But not as bright pink as thisMismatched wedding party 2

    You don't need to make the groomsmen matchy matchy to each bridesmaid. That's a bit overkill for a detail that not many (if any) people will notice. I would go with one color they like, or let your FH pick out the bowtie color.

    ETA: I think they would compliment these colors in a dark grey or navy suit. Then you could easily go with a Navy bowtie or tie and it would work well together. Or pick one shade of blush/pink/raspberry for the bowtie. But i wouldn't match the Vest, that screams prom to me. Go with a neutral vest same color as suit (grey or navy) and pick a fun bowtie color and pocket square if you really want more color.

    Personally, I would go with charcoal grey or black. Everything seems to go with those colors.

    And if you can get matching ties. I don't think it would look awful.

    Or a different color that goes well. Like if they have gold as well.

    I'd definitely have the GM in one color. Too many colors would be a bit chaotic.

    I would have the groomsmen in the same color - navy with brown shoes.

    I'd probably just have the GM all in one color. Easier to coordinate, and you don't have to worry about matching all of the BMs.

    I agree to do all the groomsmen in the same color to help make it cohesive. We are having the bridesmaids in a mix of shades of dusy blue, grays, and gray blue but then all the groomsmen in navy ties. I would pick one color from the pallate or a complimenting color for the groomsmen ties. Matching/colored vests give off a prom vibe.

    I think gray would be nice for the guys. If it's a lighter gray I would try to match all of their ties to the darkest dress color. If it's a darker gray I would try to match it to the lightest purple dress.

    That first picture cracked me up. Call it Monday but it took me a hot minute to realize you added the colors. I definitely dont think they need to match the bridesmaids, maybe just one color for all of the GM

    My girls are wearing all different shades of purple (similar to that picture!). Our colors are lavender and sage so when the girls were taking the purples, the guys are in light gray with sage ties. The guys will all be matching each other so only bridesmaids are mismatched.

    I would let the guys get ties to match their suits, not the BM dresses. Colored ties are a little "hs prom" to me.

    I'd have the groomsmen all in matching attire so you don't make things too difficult for yourself!!

    Any suit (black, navy, grey) would work, and you could pick one color for the ties!

    I agree with the others! One color for groomsmen. Lighter grey would work well with the mix match of the bridesmaids! Those are beautiful colors.Smiley smile
