A few days ago, Weddingbee reader Mrsv2bee posted a link to sneak-peak wedding photos on her photographer's blog. (Click on it! They're absolutely gorgeous pictures!) One photo of her hubby's perfectly styled groomsmen caught my eye:
Don't they all look so handsome and modern in their light-colored suits and mismatched sneakers?
I've known all along that I don't want our guys to wear traditional tuxes. I've always pictured light gray suits, stylish ties and red vans/converse. Fortunately, B is on board with this vision.
Until today I hadn't really put any effort into searching for our ideal groomsman ensemble. I had browsed Men's Warehouse's website, but that was about it. I turned to Rock 'n Roll Bride, the internet's mecca for modern, (slightly edgy) stylish bridal parties.
I found some amazing inspiration: {all photos found browsing Rock 'n Roll Bride's "groom style" tag}
I don't think I want our groomsmen to wear black, but I love the modern fit of these suits.
B doesn't really like khaki suits, but I really like how these are styled. (Isn't that beard impressive?)
Love love the vests and colorful skinny ties. I think I'd have added cute socks, though.
More skinny ties. Plus, there's just something about a man in suspenders!
LOVE the vintage style suspender clips, shoes... everything, actually. I wonder if they wore jackets at all?
How adorable is this groom? I really like these suits. The unique pocket-squares make the look, don't you think?
Aren't those ties fun? 80s style slatted glasses are fun for photo-ops, too!
And last, but certainly not least, v-neck sweaters. I'm not really a bow-tie kinda girl, but I'm really digging the look of the sweaters over dress shirts and gray slacks. I haven't really seen this combination before in a bridal party, but it'd definitely be more pocket friendly than having each GM buy a suit (they all have to get plane tickets, too).
I love that non-traditional styles are so widely accepted now in the wedding world. Are you going to dress your guys up in suits? Where did you find your inspiration?
