TIPS

1

Make sure the groom still stands out.
Look into accessory options and a suit color that’s unique but complementary among the group to keep all eyes on the groom.

2

Build a color story. 
Choose a complimentary color blend like “blues and greys” as a party in various tones of tan, grey, black, and blue is unlikely to look put together.

3

Maintain the level of formality. 
One guy rocking a tuxedo while another is donning suspenders sans jacket will look like people misunderstood the assignment. The groomsmen, the fathers, and the ushers should still look like they’re attending the same wedding.
