Coordinating the Wedding Party with Style and Consistency
When planning a wedding, the focus often centers around the bride and groom — but the groomsmen’s attire plays a crucial supporting role. They are, after all, part of the visual harmony of the day, appearing in your photos, standing by your side, and helping set the tone of your celebration.
Whether you’re planning an elegant ballroom wedding or a relaxed garden affair, knowing how to coordinate the groomsmen’s style with the overall wedding theme, the groom’s suit, and the venue is essential. At C. Armani Tailors, we help wedding parties in Singapore achieve effortless style — without the stress.
Should Groomsmen Match the Groom Exactly?
The short answer? Not exactly — but they should complement.
Here’s a general guide:
- The Groom: Should always stand out. His suit may be made from a higher-end fabric, have a different cut (e.g., shawl collar, double-breasted), or include special touches like a unique boutonnière or patterned waistcoat.
- The Groomsmen: Should wear coordinated suits or jackets that align with the groom’s in color palette, style, and formality, but with slight variations. This lets the groom shine while maintaining visual harmony.
Popular Options:
- All suits the same, but groom wears a distinct tie or pocket square
- Groom in three-piece suit, groomsmen in two-piece
- Groom in black, groomsmen in charcoal or navy
- Groom in tuxedo, groomsmen in formal suits
Coordinating with the Groom, Bridesmaids and Wedding Theme
Color matching doesn’t stop with the groomsmen. The overall wedding color palette should guide your choices.
For example:
- A dusty rose bridesmaid dress pairs well with deep navy suits and burgundy ties
- An emerald green theme? Try grey suits with dark green accents
We always recommend bringing or referencing the bridesmaids’ dress fabric swatches during your consultation. At C. Armani, our tailors can help you select accessories that reflect the theme without overcomplicating the look.
Fabric, Cut, and Climate Considerations
Singapore’s Heat and Humidity
Given Singapore’s tropical climate, it’s important to choose lightweight, breathable materials like:
- Tropical wool
- Wool-linen blends
- Lightweight cotton
Our wedding clients often opt for half-lined jackets or unstructured suits to keep the groomsmen comfortable through outdoor ceremonies and long receptions.
Cuts That Work for Everyone
Not every groomsman has the same body type. That’s where bespoke tailoring shines. At C. Armani, we:
- Tailor each groomsman individually
- Maintain a unified silhouette across the party
- Make small adjustments to suit personal comfort while preserving the group’s style consistency
Accessorising the Groomsmen
Coordinated accessories bring the entire look together:
- Ties/Bow Ties: Match or contrast subtly with bridesmaid dresses
- Pocket Squares: A pop of color that echoes the wedding palette
- Shoes: Uniform style — either brown or black, depending on suit color
- Boutonnières: Similar to the groom’s, but more understated
Avoid going overboard with loud patterns or mismatched styles unless it’s part of your theme (e.g., rustic or vintage weddings).
Final Thoughts
Your groomsmen are part of your story. Dressing them well isn’t just about looking good — it’s about creating cohesion, confidence, and a shared sense of occasion.
