Okay, folks, gather ’round, gather ’round! Let me tell you about this whole wedding planning thing, especially when it comes to picking colors. It’s a wild ride, I’m tellin’ ya. We decided to go with emerald green for the bridesmaids, right? Beautiful, rich color. But then came the question – what about the groomsmen?
We started by looking at a bunch of pictures online, weddings, you know? Pinterest, Instagram, the whole shebang. We saw some folks doing the matchy-matchy thing, bridesmaids in emerald, groomsmen in emerald. Looked a little too…uniform-y for our taste. Like they were all going to a St. Patrick’s Day parade or something.
Then we started playing around with different combinations. We considered lighter greens, but it just didn’t pop with the emerald. It was like, “meh.” Then we thought, what about grays? A nice, neutral gray could work, right?
- We grabbed some fabric swatches, you know, those little squares of cloth.
- We held them up next to each other, trying to picture the whole wedding party.
- We went to some menswear stores and put together outfits.
The “Aha!” Moment
Finally, we had our “aha!” moment. We decided to go with classic black tuxedos for the groomsmen. Black and emerald green – boom! It’s classy, it’s elegant, it’s timeless. And to tie it all together, we added emerald green bow ties and pocket squares for the guys. Subtle, but it brings the whole look together, you know?
It’s not too matchy, but it’s still coordinated. The bridesmaids will look stunning in their emerald green dresses, and the groomsmen will look sharp in their black tuxes with a touch of green. I think we nailed it, honestly. I am super happy how it all came together. It was a bit of a journey, but we got there. And that’s what matters, right? You gotta experiment, try things out, and eventually, you’ll find what works for you. Just remember, it’s your wedding, so do what makes you happy!
