Bridesmaid/groomsmen - Outfits

Ashleigh, on October 26, 2017 at 12:45 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 12
So we ended up with a quite a large wedding party: 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen. Even though this adds quite a bit to our overall expenses, we are very thankful to have such a large group of family and friends for support. The bridesmaids are wearing black knee length dresses of their choice (not from a bridal store). I'm not sure what to put the men in. Black suits would be the obvious answer, but I'm worried that will look too morbid, like a funeral. Two couples in our friends group got married recently and they wore grey suits, so I would like to avoid that colour. I'm open to having mismatched pants/suits, suspenders, etc. I'd love to hear your suggestions! Thank you in advance.

    I do find ying and yang work together. So if your bridesmaid are in black, why not have the groomsmen have suits with white jackets to look pull the colours together.

    You're getting married in August, so what about black pants, white shirt, and ties that match one of your other wedding colours (red, purple, ??)

    I think black suits are fine! Maybe pick a tie colour that matches the bridesmaids' bouquet. Smiley smile

    What colour suit is your FH wearing? You don't want the groomsmen to clash with him either. My husband wore a grey suit and the groomsmen wore black suits. I think if your FH is wearing black then they could also wear black or grey. I would definitely use accessories like ties, pocket squares and boutonnieres to add some colour and texture.

    You're welcome! And like others said use their accessories to add colour if you want or even the bouquets and boutineres couold add some colour if you find it may be too dark. But I do like the look of black it is very classy, plus its your day do what you want and if black is the colour I think its great!

    Navy and black sometimes don't look that great together because they are too close to being the same colour, however all black bridal party does look nice and you will be wearing white so it will make you pop and stand out! Plus you could always have the groomsmen ditch their jackets and that will help lighten things up a bit too!

    What if you do black pants with black shirts and colored ties and suspenders.... they can maybe match the bridesmaids shoes. you could even dress them all in a different color for fun Smiley smile

    Right now we are leaning towards Navy suits and black ties/shoes. Not sure how I feel about this though!
