Groomsmen and Groom Attire - Match or Not?

SarahBen2011 · July 26, 2011

I thought we were doing good on attire... but now I'm worried it's not going to come together!

We bought our GM tan linen pants at Banana Republic one sale (they are awesome - originally $70 on sale for $30!!!). They are perfect and I think the guys will wear them again.

We ordered my Fiance's suit from J Crew online and it hasn't come in yet. We tried it on a while ago in the store, but waited to long and now they only have it online. He loves it and is set on it now (of course, fingers crossed he still loves it when it comes in).

Will it matter if the Groom's suit is a slightly different color khaki than the GM pants?

My original plan was to have the GM's just wear whatever white shirt they want (I'm not a picky person, my BMs are wearing the same dress but different styles)... but is that going to look okay?

I need a dress rehearsal! LOL

I think it will be fine. My FI is only having his one brother and they're both wearing the same suit, shirt and tie. To make them look a little different I bought a pocketsquare for my FI and they will have different color bouts. If we had more groomsmen I would have gone a totally different route but with only one Ithought it would look funny. I think as long as all the groomsmen look alike than it will be fine.

My FI is only having his best friend as his best man and no groomsman. They will be wearing the same things, but will have a different boutineer. I think if they are a little different color it wont matter.
