Opinions on our wedding party attire

So to give you a basic description of what the wedding will be like.
This is my dress:

The bridesmaids are wearing floor length gowns from the Dessy Collection in Rose (any style or fabric):

Now for the groom and groomsmen:
We want navy suits. FI and I are going to buy his suit but haven't decided wear yet. A few of his GM already have a navy suit and other want to go ahead and buy theirs now. So I was thinking to just tell them any navy suit is fine. I don't feel like it matters if they all match. We will buy their ties. Originally we wanted them to wear navy ties but since the blues may be different, I'm trying to find an alternative. They will not wear vests and FI will wear a vest.

For flowers we are just doing mainly baby's breath and ferns and I will carry a mixture with some roses as well. We are using my dad's antique blue mason jars (I know, judge me), lanterns, and clear quartz rocks for decor.

I just want everyone to be comfortable and not to have to spend a ton of money if they don't have to. Overall, we want a cozy and romantic feel to our wedding.

How does this sound? Will this be TOO mismatched or am I over thinking this?

  • Sounds beautiful.

  • Everything sounds really lovely. 

    It sounds like you're worrying - don't. Have fun! :)

  • I think that all sounds great. 
  • I think it sounds fun. As far as the ties go, maybe a diagonal stripe pattern??

    Okay thanks y'all. My mom is still fretting over the BM dresses not matching. She'll throw a fit when I tell her the GMs won't match perfectly either. Hah!

  • Matching perfectly is overrated ;-) It sounds lovely! Don't stress it.

  • Yep.  We're all totally judging you right now.

    It sounds like it will look lovely.  Romantic and different.  And don't worry about the not matching.  My bridesmaids aren't matching.  I'm doing a similar thing, with the Dessy group, but all different colors of purple. 

    Happy wedding parties make better photos.  And don't worry too much about what other people think.  At the end of the day, it's your (including your FI in that "your") style that has to be conveyed, your memories of the day that matter most (not to say that this isn't a pretty important day for you mom) and your photos that you'll have to love for the next 80 years.

    I was going to say though, if any of the GM want to hire a suit, they may have some trouble, but it sounds like they'll all be buying something they'll wear again, so for it.  I can't wait to see your pictures!

  • Sounds perfect! We were going to do the same with any grey suits but they ended up all buying the same one from Jos A Bank - we got all their measurements and ordered them all on a 75% online-only suit sale. We bought all their ties from The Tie Bar. Theirs are all aqua with a tone-on-tone herringbone pattern, and FI's is the same pattern in ivory. He also bought the vest that matches the suit while the guys will just be have the jacket and pants.

    I love the rose dresses with blue suits.
