Groomsmen Attire

View quoted message We got the dresses and my girls have finally had a chance to try them and they’re GORGEOUS. Not the best pic but I had to crop. Highly recommend! Also this girl wears a medium usually, ordered medium and it fit like a glove. The fabric feels like a nice cotton and will need ironing but definitely didn’t feel as cheap as their cost. SO excited

View quoted message I agree with this!

I would love to know how the dresses are. totally may have to order myself one. I LOVE amazon!

View quoted message Agreed! And love the idea of them wearing shorts!

I would do the groomsmen in shorts matching the groom and the white shirts with a purple tie to match the girls! Or purple suspenders!!

View quoted message Amazon Canada! $27-$35 (sizes changed the cost slightly but funnily enough the smaller size was more expensive). The reviews are great and it was free shipping/free returns so there’s no fear in ordering. I’ll definitely comment if they come and they’re awful lol. Should be in by the end of next week.

Fair enough, I'm having the same issue with mine in the standard suits lol.

If the man of honour is in the light purple, I think the darker purple hue in the dresses would match very well, or even the green!

Just want to pop in and say I LOVE that dress for the bridesmaids - where did you order them from?

View quoted message I agree that they should look different. Just struggling so much with how.

This is the bridesmaid dress and an example of the cardigan though I haven’t received the dresses yet to know if the color is right.

I agree that the groom should look different (my groom's tux is navy with a white shirt, the groomsmen in are in all black), my bridesmaids are in navy (not matchy to the groom).

Do you have a photo of the floral dresses? What other colours are in the dress?

View quoted message I think another shade of purple or a colour from the flowers. IMO, I don’t like when the groom looks identical to the groomsmen, so I wouldn’t have them in white.

View quoted message The girls are wearing a floral dress with a light purple flower in the pattern. They’ll wear a light purple cardigan. My thought was to have the guy of honor/brideman wear a light purple that hopefully matches the cardigans. So it’s like he’s one of the girls lol. So then I thought I can either have the groomsmen in another shade of purple, a different color from the flowers, or white but then they’d match the groom. Alternatively I suppose I could put the groom in a different color of shorts. (We were planning to have them all wear charcoal gray shorts.

Is your guy of honour is a darker purple? You could have the groomsmen in a lighter purple to match the cardigans that the ladies are wearing.

View quoted message Preferably no. It starts looking to formal. Our whole wedding has a very chill vibe (brunch, games - no dance) so I’m not a fan of adding anything. But I suppose we may not have a choice.

Hmmmm..... Any chance of them wearing vests?

View quoted message Ah yes, I should have mentioned, no one will be wearing ties or bow ties. I mean I suppose they could but it seemed odd to add them to groomsmen when the groom is very against wearing one. So the only distinction is shirts. Unless I give them pocket squares or something. WHY IS THIS SO HARD?! Lol

I would vote for the groomsmen to wear a white shirt but with a purple tie that matches the bridal party. Just make sure it's not the same as the Groom. (You can make it a different colour for the groom or have bow ties vs regular.)
