Hey there, honey. You askin’ about bridesmaid and groomsmen colors, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t rocket science. It’s like pickin’ out your Sunday best, just gotta make sure everyone looks good together, ya know?
First thing’s first, you gotta pick your colors. Think about what the bride and groom like. What colors are they using for the whole shindig? Flowers, table cloths, that kinda stuff. You want your bridesmaid and groomsmen colors to fit in with all that, like peas in a pod.
Now, some folks like to have all the girls in one color and all the boys in another. Like, maybe the bridesmaids all wearin’ blue dresses and the groomsmen wearin’ blue ties. That’s a simple way to do it. Nothin’ wrong with simple, I always say.
- Bridesmaid dresses same color, that’s easy peasy.
- Groomsmen, they can wear same color ties or somethin’.
- Just make sure it all goes together, like peanut butter and jelly.
But, you don’t gotta do it that way. You can mix it up a bit. Maybe some girls wear a lighter blue, some wear a darker blue. Just make sure they all look like they belong together, ya know? Like a litter of puppies, all different but still family.
The important thing is that the bridesmaid and groomsmen colors look good with the bride and groom. After all, it’s their big day! You don’t want the wedding party lookin’ like a bunch of mismatched socks.
Another thing ya can do is get them little fabric samples. You know, those little squares of cloth? Get some in the colors you’re thinkin’ about and lay ’em all out together. See how they look side by side. Does it make your eyes happy, or does it make ya wanna squint? You want happy eyes, honey, happy eyes.
Now, for the fellas, the groomsmen. Their outfits is usually a bit easier. Most times they all wear the same suit, maybe a different color tie or vest. You can have their ties match the bridesmaid dresses. That’s a real popular way to do it. Or you can have their pocket squares, you know, that little hanky in their pocket, match the dresses. That looks real nice, too.
Some folks, they like to have the groomsmen’s suits match the groom’s suit. Others like to have ’em a little different. Maybe the groom wears a black suit and the groomsmen wear grey. Or maybe the groom’s got a fancy vest and the groomsmen just have plain ones. It’s all up to what the bride and groom want, really.
- Groomsmen can wear same suits, different ties.
- Or different suits, same ties.
- Groom can stand out a bit, that’s okay. It’s his day, too.
And don’t forget about the flowers! The girls usually carry bouquets, and the boys usually have a little flower on their jackets, called a boutonniere. You want those to match the colors you picked, too. If the bridesmaids are wearin’ blue dresses, maybe they can have some blue flowers in their bouquets. And the boys can have a little blue flower on their jackets. Makes it all look real put together, like a pretty picture.
If you gonna have the fellas buyin’ their own suits, you gotta tell ’em what color to get. You can’t just say “go get a suit” and expect ’em all to show up lookin’ the same. Men, bless their hearts, they need a little guidance sometimes. So, you tell them to get a navy suit, or a grey suit, or whatever color you decided on. Also make sure to tell them what color shirts and shoes to get. They ain’t mind readers.
You know, back in my day, we didn’t worry so much about all this matchy-matchy stuff. Folks just wore their best clothes, whatever color they were. But I reckon it does look nicer when everyone’s coordinated. Makes for better pictures, I suppose. And these days, pictures are everything, ain’t they?
One time, my niece, she had her bridesmaids wearin’ these burnt orange dresses. And the groomsmen, they had orange ties. Now, I ain’t a big fan of orange myself, but I gotta say, it did look kinda pretty all together. They had some fall leaves and pumpkins in the decorations, and it all matched real nice. Like a sunset, kinda.
So, don’t you fret too much about these bridesmaid and groomsmen colors. Just pick somethin’ you like, somethin’ that looks good together, and somethin’ that the bride and groom are happy with. That’s all that really matters. It’s a celebration, after all, not a fashion show. Though, a little fashion never hurt nobody, I suppose. Just have fun with it, honey. That’s the most important thing.
