Lord Thompson Manor on Dressing Groomsmen
Generally, every Bridesmaid has an opinion on which color, fabric and style of dress would look best on her personally, and what compromises she would be willing to make to match her fellow attendants. Meanwhile, Wedding Party men often give the impression of ambivalence: “Put me in anything.” However, the Bridesmaids can prove helpful by voicing their attitudes, while their typically stoic counterparts can prove difficult to dress. With our years of experience in planning weddings, the Lord Thompson Manor has picked up some techniques for dressing the dapper Groomsmen.
Color coordination is the first key to a cohesive Wedding Party. If the Groomsmen are sporting vests and ties that are similar in color to the Bridesmaids’ dresses, but not quite the same, the difference may be hard to tell when they stand apart and glaringly obvious when they are closer together. Bringing a swatch of the fabric used in the Bridesmaids’ dresses, or even a complete dress itself, when picking out the Groomsmen’s garb can help match colors completely, or at least find aesthetically pleasing complementary shades.
Another important element to the perfect Groomsmen look is texture. If a man wears a three-piece suit in solid colors, he may look good, but the ensemble will give the overall effect of missing something. This gap can be filled by visually texturing the suit’s vest. Many of the Groomsmen at the Lord Thompson Manor sport vests the same color as the Bridesmaids’ dresses, but they balance out the Wedding Party with a masculine pattern.
