Every couple wants their bridesmaids and groomsmen to look harmonious as they stand together at the altar. Achieving this cohesive look requires selecting the right hues for all members of the wedding party. The question is, how do you pick these colors? Below, we provide creative ideas to actively coordinate groomsmen and bridesmaids’ outfits for your wedding day. Evaluate Various Color Combinations Choosing the right color palette for your wedding ensures everything looks coordinated. You can get inspiration by using sites like Pinterest to view a range of color combinations. Sticking to specific groupings, such as earth tones, monochromatic colors, and pastels, or single shades, such as blue, pink, or purple, is best. Once you select a color palette, compare how specific shades look together to create a color palette for the wedding—you’ll choose apparel for the wedding party based on these hues. Carefully Consider the Suit Color The groomsmen’s suit color should always accent, not fight, the bridesmaid dresses. The suit acts as the primary neutral canvas for the men. If the bridesmaids are wearing soft shades like blush, champagne, or sage, a light gray or classic black tuxedo provides a clean, elegant contrast. However, for deeper, richer bridesmaid dress colors such as wisteria, burgundy, or forest green, a navy or charcoal suit is a more complementary and modern choice, offering a sophisticated depth that harmonizes with the dresses. The key idea is to ensure that the groomsmen's attire, whether a suit or a tux, complements the color of the bridesmaid dress and creates a cohesive look that feels intentional. If you are aiming for a less formal, daytime, or outdoor wedding, consider lighter-colored suits, such as beige, tan, or even light blue, which pair beautifully with earthy or rust-toned bridesmaid dresses and are ideal for spring or summer events. Buy a Quality Suit No matter the color, the quality of the attire makes a difference. Grooms Club allows you to use an online tuxedo customizer to create a unique and cohesive look for the men in your wedding. We also offer a wide range of color options for neckties, bow ties, and pocket squares. Select hues that are either the exact color of the bridesmaid dresses or a carefully chosen complementary shade to ensure you pick the perfect tux or suit color. A well-fitted, high-quality suit or tuxedo will not only look better but will also make your groomsmen feel more confident on your big day. Select Colored Garments The final way to coordinate the groomsmen and bridesmaids is to dress everyone in similar shades. Most couples do this by selecting a piece of the groomsmen’s apparel to be the same color as the bridesmaid gowns. Key pieces of clothing to evaluate include: Ties or Bow Ties: These are the most common and effective ways to coordinate. A deep burgundy tie to match a bridesmaid's gown is classic. Pocket Squares: A more subtle option. Using a pocket square in the same color as the dress provides a subtle hint of coordination without being overpowering. Vests: A vest in the bridesmaid color can create a very sharp, formal, and coordinated look, especially if the groomsmen remove their jacket. Button-up Shirts: While less common, a very light, neutral-toned shirt with a subtle color thread (e.g., pale blue gingham) can subtly complement a blue-hued wedding palette. Having one of these items in the same colors as the bridesmaid dresses creates a cohesive look. Begin early on planning which members of your wedding party will wear what to ensure you have enough time for fittings and final color decisions. With careful planning and attention to detail, everyone will look perfect and harmonious on your big day!
