Not nearly enough attention is given to the groom's and groomsmen's attire. It's all about the bride, as well it should be, but hey, they are going to be in the pictures too, and need to look their best.
The questions are important, but basic.... Tux, suit, or blazer and slacks? Do you want the men's ties to match the female attendants' dresses? Do you want the same number of groomsmen as the bridesmaids, or do you want a few extra male friends to be solely "ushers"? (This is would entail not "Standing Up "with the bridal party during the ceremony, only escorting female guests to their seats.)
What ever you decide, keep in mind the time of day for the ceremony and reception.
Probably the most important detail I can share, and it's an obvious one, although I never even thought about it, is that if the bride wears a shade of off-white, the groom and his attendants' shirts must be also. Otherwise, the bride will appear dingy - horrors !
The picture on the right is of my handsome husband and HIS groomsmen 30 years ago.
Love this photo! Seeing Kenny and John standing there brings back so many great memories. Do you guys see John much?
ReplyDeleteYou had a fun, yet beautiful wedding!
Thanks, Chris! Sadly, we don't see John... He's well, though
ReplyDeleteWow Mary, I just looked at the picture and thought to myself is that Larry? Can't be!
ReplyDeleteThen I asked him if he was in your wedding and he said yes! I guess my eyes weren't wrong after all. I did not know that. Well they all looked good back then!
Thanks, Michelle Weiss
Isn't that funny, Michelle? We can always learn something new about our spouses. They do indeed look handsome!
