Because my fiance wore a matching vest and bow tie for our prom (5 years ago), he wants his groomsmen to have the same with our bridesmaids. I'm not totally opposed to it, but I'm wondering if it will make things look a little dated.
Also, my ladies are being allowed to pick whatever style of dress they want, as long as it's the appropriate color. I'm wondering if making the guys wear full out tuxes with vests and bow ties will make them feel more restricted, and like my girls got to have more freedom than them.
P.S. I'm adding this because it's been suggested a lot. My wedding party colors are a darker mint green and a darker lavender (Like David's Bridal Clover and Wisteria). I don't think Navy jackets or suits would look good paired with these colors.
