I have multiple issues regarding dressing groomspeople. My hubby-to-be is having three people stand on his side- two men and one woman.
For one thing, I'm really not a big fan of tuxes. The groom will be wearing a custom tailored designer suit in charcoal, which he already owns. I guess the groomspeople could wear suits similar to his, but I want him to look special and stand out like me! (It's our special day!)
Another issue is that the woman standing on the groom's side has always been more comfortable wearing men's clothes. I am completely fine with this, but I don't want to make some of my more conservative guests uncomfortable. I also don't want to make her feel different or left out by wearing something different from the men.
My current idea is to put all of the groomspeople in black dress pants, gorgeous button-up shirts in a rich color, and striped ties. However, I keep reading that the style of my wedding (it's an October semi-formal garden wedding being held at 6 PM) requires tuxes.
What should I do to make sure the groomswoman doesn't look too "manly" and everyone still looks uniform and fits the formality of the occasion?
Usually all of the groomsmen would be dressed the same, which would be in the same formality as the bride. So, their outfits would be tuxes if your dress is formal. They could wear suits if your dress is semi-formal. The groom could wear a suit with a slightly different texture or he could wear a different color tie to make him stand out.
The groomslady should be dressed the same as your bridesmaids, except that her corsage would be the same color as the groomsmen.
