Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

I think it totally depends on how coordinated you want your wedding party to be.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of colored vests, but I think it wouldbe nice to have your groom have something to distinguish him from his GMs.

Then again, I've seen some great pictures where everything looks better because the colors are more matched.

Hmm. I'm not very helpful, am I?

My dresses were EuroWine and all my GM's wore black vests & black ties, so did my DH.

My girls will also be in a burgandy color (euro wine) and I am having the guys wear a charcoal gray. I think the combo will look nice.

My girls had champagne dresses. My guys had champagne colored vests, but they were two-toned. This is the best picture that I could find that you can see what we had.

My dad had a black vest, my DH and ring bearer had white vests.

It really depends on what you want. The tux place actually were the ones that helped us pick out what they thought looked best.

I am wearing ivory- FH is wearing an Ivory vest-- his tie will more match my dress-- it will be more of a tone on tone look for him.

Gm's are wearing black vests and ties-- girls are wearing a sage green.

BMs dresses were berry color, and they guys wore red vests and neck ties.

DH wore white tie/vest. so did the ring bearers.

GM are wearing black vests and black bowties...FH is wearing a white vest and a white bowtie (and a different tuxedo).

Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

Like Jan05Bride, my girls wore Euro Wine and the guys wore black vests and black ties. DH wore a silver tie so that he would be a little different.

I originally wanted the guys to match the girls, but DH said it was too Prom-ish. I'm glad I listened, I liked the way it turned out. But don't tell him

FH is wearing a Black satin vest with a black and silver tie. GM are wearing black textured vests and a black tie. The girls are wearing blue.

Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

In the end fh will decide

Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

The guys refuse to wear pink, which is what I want the BM dresses to be, so they will probably go with silver.

Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

I think we're going with black & white for the BP so I don't think I'm going to have this problem. My prob will be that it looks like a funeral!!
Whatever my FH wants to wear then the GM will probably wear the opposite scheme.

Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

My gm are wearing black vests. my bm color is sky blue and I don't want the gm wearing that. since yours is wine I think you could go either way. Both would be nice.

fh is wearing a gray vest. He picked it out and I like it alot.
I think gray would go nicely with your dress. :)

Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

GMs are wearing grey vests w/ black and grey striped ties, FH is wearing a lighter grey vest w/ a matching tie. I liked the black vest better, but he thought it looked too much like his 'everyday' suits.
ETA: my BMs are wearing Black

Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

I like coordinating hints of color but sometimes it can be too prom-ish.

I love how the pics with the nice long ties look.

It is personal taste but I like when the grooms are distinguished by a white tie and/or vest. I mean WE wear a different color from our attendants, so by that virtue, so should he.

Re: your fh and gm i need an opinion PLEASE

My GM and FOB and FOG are all going to wear Peridot Vest (kind of a sage green) to match the BM's dresses. The RB and FH are going to wear ivory to match my dress and FG's dresses
