HI, I am trying to figure out the color of the vest and ties for my groom and her fellas. My MOH is wearing light lilac, and the bridesmaids are wearing a blush. Same dress, just different colors. My dress is ivory lace on top (the bridesmaids also have lace on top and bottom of the dress) and rose gold/pink like on the bottom. I attached a picture of the tux the men are wearing I just wont know if the best man should match the MOH and the rest match each other. My groom would like to stand out and not match, so that would potentially be 3 different colors. I have no idea that to do. Below is the tux and the blush dress, there is no picture of the lilac dress.
Re: Groom and Bestman and Groomsmen
To stand out, what if your FH wears the tux with the vest and bow tie (in whatever color) and the GMs just wear a bow tie (no vest)?
The rule is that the men must all wear the same level for formality. They do not need to match in color. Traditionally, the groom is distinguished from the other men in the party by a special boutonniere.
Thank you all for the help and I love all the ideas. I will keep you posted on the outcome!!
Here is a good site for tuxedo rules. It is a very big site, so take your time to read through it.

PS. As an alternative, think about having your guys BUY a two piece suit. Grey suits are classic, and it will give you the same look. The price to buy a suit is not much more than renting a tuxedo. This way, the guys get to keep their suits for other occasions!
I agree with CMG that a really nice option for the GMs would be to BUY a grey suit. We did this with our GMs and, for almost the same cost as renting, they had a black suit they could keep for future use.
