Color Opinion

Carly, on November 23, 2019 at 4:27 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 8

I need help, My fiance wants to be different from his groomsmen,

He wants to wear a light grey suit and his groomsmen wear navy suits with blush ties and my bridesmaids will be in blush dresses.

I'm not a fan of the big color difference. I thought it would be fine i could have 3 girls in blush dresses and 3 girls in navy but what if the navy dresses don't match up with the groomsmen navy suits? I don't know how to feel right now!

    I don't think the navy in the bridesmaids dresses has to exactly match the navy of the groomsmen suits.

    If it was me I would keep all the girls in blush, the groomsmen in navy with blush ties- that way it looks more uniform.

    Having your groom wear a light grey suit while the men wear navy will look good! Especially because you aren't wearing the same color as your bridal party so y'all will both stand out.

    I really like the color difference. It think it’s goes well and if it were me I would just have the girls in all blush. Good luck!

    I think the color difference will be fine. My future husband is going to wear a blue suit & the groomsmen will be wearing grey. My bridesmaids will all be wearing burgundy dresses. I figured I get to stand out so why wouldn’t my future husband on our big day!

    I think that’s fine. Personally I wouldn’t have any girls in navy - I would keep them all in blush. Otherwise, standing to you have a lot more navy than blush and it seems unbalanced to me.


    Re: the groom. Think of it as a counter balance to your side: you will be wearing a lighter color than your bridesmaids, and he will be wearing a lighter color than his groomsmen. You both stand a little apart from them while still matching.

    I'm actually planning to have my fiance wear Navy and his groomsmen wear grey. I think your original idea of having the bridesmaids wear blush is fine, if you're worried about their Navy dresses won't match the suits. It'll probably look better in pictures to be honest, having some contrast instead of the sea of blue. Plus it's nice to have the groom stands out a bit. It is his day too

    How light gray does he want to go? Has he seen his suit next to his groomsmen’s suits?


    Personally, I think it’s great when the groom stands out in some way. However, I prefer he is more formal than the groomsmen. In suiting, navy is more traditional or formal than light gray, so his preference is opposite mine. Light gray is also more common in spring/summer, though with navy you can get different material for different seasons. You guys might just want to think about what you can do with accessories to tie this all together and make it look intentional and not random.

    How about printed ties that incorporate both blush and gray and have the girls in blush accessoriesise with silver and navy. That way it becomes an intent
