GM: Red shirts white ties?

monique026 · May 2010

I want people's opinion, because I can't find pictures online. A friend's wedding they had the groomsman wear white shirts with green vests for the ceremony, and then switch to black shirts with the green vests for the reception. I thought it looked really cool and (with permission from my friend) we want to try something similar for ours. Our color is red, and my FH said he wants to try a variation of that - white shirts with red ties/vests for the ceremony, and red shirts with white ties/vests for the reception. I'm afraid it weill either look really good, or really overwhelming with all the girls in their red dresses too.

What does everyone think?

Well, once you hit the reception, the bridesmaids and groomsmen won't be standing next to each other anymore, so their outfits no longer really matter at that point. Personally I think that doing a costume change at that point would be a bit much, but whatever works for you.

My sister did red. Her husband wore a black shirt with a red vest/tie and the groomsmen (including the bestman) wore white shirts with red vest/tie. And us bridesmaids (i was MOH) wore red dresses, all in different styles but all in satin in the color Apple Red from Davids. I would be happy to send you a picture if you wish!

I think a red shirt might be a little too much but black shirt with red tie would look great

i say go for the red shirts, they sound fun and different, the black and red reminds me way to much of my goth days, it's a little too marylan manson for me, the red and white sounds funky but classy

I think it's a bit much to have them all change clothes between ceremony & reception... especially if it means having to buy/rent 2 shirts/ties/vests instead of just one.

But if your attendents are down with it, I guess that's your choice!

Can you alternate? Say 2 guys red/black and 2 guys black/red? And I agree with Aerin in it seeming like a costume change no one will notice
