Top Groomsmen Trends

While we all love to focus on the bride and bridesmaids for the wedding, some considerations do have to be made for the groomsmen as well. Here are the top 5 groomsmen trends we are seeing now!

Bye-Bye Bow Tie
Today, being a stylish groomsman has a lot to do with what's worn underneath the jacket. We're seeing tuxedos with long (not bow) ties, and with vests instead of cummberbunds. Check out cravat (long) ties, non-pleated shirts, and three-button jackets for a more modern look.

Beyond the Tux
If you're having a casual affair, go ahead and ditch the tuxes. Instead, dress the guys in blazers, and match something in their outfits (a pocket square, a tie, a belt, their socks) with the overall colour scheme. For a great casual look, have your party wear khaki pants they already own, and ask them to get the same navy blazer. Another way to coordinate? Order extra fabric from the bridesmaid dresses to make matching ties for the groomsmen - this is a great way to create a unified wedding party look. Looking for a more funky idea? Try getting sneakers made for your groomsmen with their names, and incorporate the wedding colours there!

Don't Forget Gramps
Many grooms are paying respect to their elders by getting them matching tuxedos. Even if grandpa isn't officially in the party, this is a great way to make him feel like he's a part of the celebration. If you don't want him to look identical to the party, have your grandfathers wear the same style tux and shirt, but a slightly different shade of tie than the groomsmen. That awy they'll still be noticed as special, but they'll be distinct from the party.

Wearable Gifts
If your groomsmen are white-collared business types, chances are they spend a lot of their workweek in a suit or blazer, give them a unique, personalized gift that will add to their wedding day style and that they'll also be able to use again and again. Cufflinks with their initials are a great gift, or you can go for styles that suit the personality of the guy who'll wear them. The men in your party will appreciate the thought, and they'll also be thankful that they don't have something identical to the other men at your wedding. Like the sneaker idea?! They can be considered the groomsmen gift AND worn that day too.

Vary the Boutonnieres
It's nice to have the wedding party somewhat coordinated, but it's totally acceptable to have the best man's boutonniere be different than the other members of the party. Another idea? Make every single groomsman's boutonniere different, but match them with the bouquet of the bridesmaid he escorts down the aisle. Decide what each pairing will be using different colours of the same flower, or all different flowers in the same colour. If the men in your party object to donning flowers of any sort, or if you want a more masculing look, consider boutonnieres of wheat, herbs or leaves.
