Matching outfits?

Firefly0410, 5 January, 2017 at 13:06 Posted on Planning 0 3

The men in our wedding party are going to be wearing waistcoats, no jackets. Our theme is navy and gold, and both my stepdad and brother already have navy waistcoats, so if they wear their own we only have to buy two (for my h2b and his best man) but my mum says they need to all be the same. How different can navy waistcoats be?! Do they really all need to match completely?

    There's no hard and fast rules about it. We have the groomsmen in navy (same suit) and groom in grey version of same suit. Dad's are wearing navy (I think). Navy can be different shades which could look odd in photos, but it's totally up to you.

    Agree. Do whatever you want to! Our bridal party are all wearing their own suits, so none of them will match at all. We decided it wasn't worth the extra money kitting them all out in what is essentially a uniform for the day. Think about the photographs, and decide from there. Will it bug you to see mismatched waistcoats in your photos, or will you really not mind?

    We're having documentary style photography anyway, so there won't be too many posed photos with everyone in waistcoates stood together so I don't think it would bug me. I suppose I could see the styles that my family already have too and buy the other two as close to matching as we can.
