What color of shirt and tie should my groom wear to match my blush dress?

Keri, on April 19, 2015 at 11:56 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10

Hi all, I am struggling with figuring out how to match my groom's outfit with mine. I am wearing a blush dress and my flower girls (I am not having bridesmaids) are wearing plain white. He is wearing a dark suit and we were told to have him wear an off white shirt. We can't figure out if this is the right color or if he should wear a white shirt. Also, we have been through every color of tie and cannot figure this out! Does anyone have recommendations on what color of shirt and tie he should wear? I want his tie to be a darker color.

This is my dress:

    I would put him in a white shirt and find a tie that is a similar color to your dress. (PS from your title, it sounds like your groom is wearing a shirt, tie and blush dress Smiley smile

    Oh, and your dress is gorgeous!

    I would have him in a white shirt and tie, with a boutonniere to coordinate with your flowers. You might have too much trouble finding the exact color tie to match your dress.

    Yeah, my dress is a VERY tricky blush so I can't get it to match much. Any suggestions for a darker color of tie? Thanks kalamityjen, I edited my title! Smiley smile

    Honestly I wouldn't even consider your dress color when dressing him. Your wedding dress will be set apart from everything so I don't think he needs to match. I agree a white shirt because off-white will be too close to trying to match. Maybe find a tie that is somehow connected to the colors of your flowers? And I love your dress! So beautiful!

    Thank you! We will go with a white shirt for sure. My flowers are wildflowers, all sorts of different colors- Maybe I'll pick a color out of there.

    I think Ivory goes very well with blush. I would say have his tie match his suit? I totally get having to work out non-traditional details. FH will be wearing a black shirt, so rather than having to work with a "non-traditional" colored dress, we're working with a non traditional grooms outfit.... but I think something like ours with a white/ivory shirt rather than black would work well.

    If you want him to match, did you check out the tie bar? I was able to find the perfect ivory tie to match my dress on there.

    I agree with having him in white. Have him match either your colors or you with the tie.

    If he's not adverse to wearing "pink" what about a darker blush tie with an ivory shirt?

    I'll check out the tie bar! Thank you! I think we're going to try out a white shirt with a dark blue tie.
