Groom outfit - Light Grey Suit with Fushia pink cravat

Groomie, 16 June, 2014 at 16:16 Posted on Planning 0 4

Hi All,

I am wearing as the title suggested a light grey suit with a fushia pink cravat. The Bridemaids are going to be wearing fushia pink dresses so my groomsmen are wearing fushia pink tie with light grey suits. As the groom, I am going to wear a waistcoat and this is where I hit the stumbling block. What colour waistcoat would compliment the colors i'm wearing? Or should I wear the waistcoat the same as the suit ie; 3 piece? My Fiancée suggests a Champaign colour Waistcoat but I don't think it would look right + I can't see any pictures on the net. Any advice appreciated.

    Hello,

    You might gain inspiration from the real wedding that we put live on the site today as the groom seems to be wearing similar colours to what you are describing.

    Hi Groomie, personally I think a waistcoat either the same colour as your suit or a nice ivory. I think a fushia pink would be too much, unless you go for a light pink? My Auntie and Uncle had Fushia pink and my Uncle wore a ivory waistcoat with gold detailing.

    I agree with you that I don't think a champagne would work, but equally sometimes you don't know how it will look without trying Smiley smile

    Good Luck!

    Stick with the grey waistcoat to match your suit, keep things clean and simple x

    Agree with rusticbride. A sharp, 3 piece suit is going to look best!

    Thanks for the feedback. in the end I decided to scrap tbe fushia pink tie and went for a champaign waistcoast with matching cravat. It looked great and complimented my wife's white dress. The groomsmen wore fushia pink ties to match the fushia pink bridesmaids dresses and it looked outstanding!
