Alright, so you’re tellin’ me you want to hear about them…what you call ’em… mismatched groom-men? Well, I’ll tell ya what I know, even though back in my day, everyone just wore what they had, and that was that. No fancy this and fancy that.
First off, you gotta figure, these young fellas, they all wanna look good, right? But “good” means different things to different folks. Like, one fella might like a shiny suit, all slicked back, you know? And another might be more comfortable in somethin’ plain, like a good ol’ pair of work pants, but dressed up a bit, I guess. So, lettin’ ’em wear what they feel good in, that’s the first thing.
Now, the big question is, how do you make it all look nice together, even if they ain’t matchy-matchy? That’s where you gotta get a little clever, like makin’ a quilt, you see? You got all sorts of different pieces, but somehow it all fits and looks purdy.
- One thing you can do is pick a color, any color, and tell them boys, “Alright, your suit, or your tie, or somethin’ needs to have this color in it.” Maybe it’s blue, like the sky on a nice day. So one fella’s got a blue suit, another’s got a blue tie, maybe another’s got a little blue handkerchief pokin’ out of his pocket. See? They all got a little bit of the same, even if they’re different.
- Another thing, and this is important, is to make sure the groom, the fella gettin’ hitched, he stands out. He’s the rooster in the henhouse, ya know? He’s gotta look the fanciest. So if the groom’s wearin’ a real fancy suit, like somethin’ you’d wear to church on Sunday, then the other fellas, they shouldn’t be lookin’ like they just rolled outta bed. They gotta step it up a bit, but not too much, you understand?
- And don’t forget about the little things, like what they wear on their shirts, or them little flower things they stick on their jackets, “buttonholes” they call ’em, I think. You can use those little things to tie everything together. Maybe they all got the same flowers, or the same color shirt. It’s all in the details, like my grandma used to say, bless her soul.
Now, some folks might say this whole “mismatched” thing is just a way to save money, not havin’ to buy everyone the same suit. And maybe it is, I don’t know. But I think it’s also a way to let everyone feel comfortable and themselves. Not everyone looks good in the same thing, and that’s a fact. You got tall fellas, short fellas, skinny fellas, stout fellas… You gotta dress ‘em in what makes ‘em look their best.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about doin’ this mismatched thing for your weddin’, don’t be scared. Just remember them few things I told ya: pick a color, make sure the groom stands out, and pay attention to them little details. And most importantly, make sure them boys feel good in what they’re wearin’. If they feel good, they’ll look good, and that’s all that matters.
You see, a weddin’, it ain’t about matchin’ suits, it’s about matchin’ hearts. It’s about two people comin’ together, and all their friends and family bein’ there to celebrate. And if them friends and family are comfortable and happy, well, that’s a good start to a marriage, I reckon.
So there ya have it. My two cents on this mismatched groom-men business. Hope it helps ya make up your mind, or at least gives ya somethin’ to think about. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits.
And one last thing, if you are worried about them looking too different, you can always ask them to send you a picture of what they are planning to wear. That way, you can make sure nobody shows up looking like they’re headed to a barn dance when everyone else is dressed for church…unless that’s the look you’re going for, of course! Then, by all means, let them wear their overalls and cowboy boots!
