Groomsmen attire help!

mollylemire

So far wedding planning has been going very well. I have a vision and everything is coming together, except I am at a complete loss for what the groomsmen (and my hubby to be) will wear. The girls are all wearing the dress pictured below. The wedding is in June, outside, and has a more causal "backyard bbq" sort of feel (complete with lawn games!). Therefore, I don't want the guys wearing jackets, but that's all I know. Any suggestions and pictures of ideas would be helpful. I have been searching Pinterest for hours but everything is blurring together. 

Thanks!

How about khakis, button down shirts, and ties? You could even add vests or blazers if you want something slightly more formal.

I agree with Cookie Pusher. I would have them wear a nice pair of khakis or grey dress slacks, a white button up, and a blue tie.  No jacket or vest.

Something like these..

What are YOU wearing?

Or if that is still formal for you, khaki's and matching white polo shirts. My niece did that for her vow renewal and it looked sharped and fit the day. Church ceremony and then backyard bbq.

Khakis, dress shirts, and ties. Maybe have them roll up the sleeves of their dress shirts for a more casual look. 

LOVE your BM dresses!

I absolutely agree  with the khakis approach. Maybe do a soft blue dress shirt with sleeves rolled up and no tie, or have the tie in a color that will pop and bring them together with the bridesmaids' attire. Good luck!

This is my dress

I tried uploading a picture of me in it, but it wasn't working

I like this options mainly because they don't feature suspenders. I'm over the suspenders look, but if you like it there are a lot of those options out there too.

agree that gray or Khaki would compliment the bridesmaids dress color. What does your FI like?  Make sure he has a say so him and his guys are comfortable as well.

I would definitely go for a lighter color on the guys. Maybe a tan or a grey.

Our wedding is similar I think (we're going for a picnic feel and we're having lawn games too!) except our colors are peach and tan, and our guys are wearing: tan pants, tan vest, ivory shirt, coral tie.  It'll be in August so no jacket and the pants and vest are linen so they're nice and lightweight.  FI is buying a jacket to go with his because he wants to wear one.  

Tan looks great with blue as well-my brother's GM wore khaki pants with blue dress shirts that matched the girls' different blue dresses at his wedding.  No ties or jackets for them.

I have a different opinion here.  Your dress is beautiful, but it is not a casual dress.  Your groom and groomsmen should match YOU in formality.  I think that they should at least wear dark sports jackets, maybe solid navy, with the khakis or grey pants.  (The groom in Andrea R91's photo is dressed like this.)  They can take the jackets off after the ceremony.  Shirtsleeves are just too informal to stand next to a bride wearing that lovely gown!
The rule is that the wedding party matches the bride in the level of formality.

CMGragain it's a wedding they should be a little more dressed than the guests.

I think navy suits and crisp white shirts with a light blue tie would look really nice with the girls dresses which are very pretty. Perfect your wedding. Or the guys could wear khakis and navy jackets and your groom could be the only one in all navy.

FYI - most tuxedo stores also have suits to rent (not just tuxedos). If you like grey - that could work too.
