Matching cravats????

Comments

  • We're having the same suits and waistcoats for the whole wedding party (Groom, Best men, Usher, Fathers of bride and groom)
    but the groom is having a different tie (matching my dress) and the rest are having ties to match the bridesmaids dresses!
    Life on a shoestring!
  • Ours had all the same colour - Hot Pink. The wedding Party had cravats and husband has ruched tie in the exact same colour. He also had a different waitcoat to the rest of the wedding party. His buttonhole was also a bit more 'fancier'

    Plus he will look like the groom as he will be standing next to the bride!! :rotfl:

    I love your colour scheme! What are your BM dresses?

    Thanks everyone; all input appreciated.

    Re the colour scheme; we're not having one! It's only a small do(still costing an arm and ruddy leg though) and I'm not bothering with bridesmaids so he can wear whatever colour he wants.

    With regards to the whole "how do people know who is the groom" question. OH has a photo of him being a best man at his friends wedding and the bride is stood inbetween him and the groom but they are both (not the bride obv) dressed exactly the same. It's only because I know he didn't marry her (well Im hoping not anyway else I'm in for a pretty big shock) that I know who the groom was. Does that make a bit more sense or do I still sound as mad as a box of frogs???

    A bit of the latter, tbh :)

    I wonder:
    a) How many people will be seeing the photos that don't know who the bride or groom are
    b) why are they looking at photos where they don't know who the bride or the groom are
    c) why do you care if they know who the bride and groom are if they don't know you
    d) will they really just be looking at a single photo in which it's ambiguous? In most photos it will be obvious.

    It seems that your concern's based on a random person seeing a single photo in which it's unclear who the groom is...I just don't get it...:o

    Ahhh thanks. They were Forever Yours dresses and were charcoal. Not what we were aiming for originally but as soon as they tried them on we all loved the colour. :D

    Agreed! Who on earth is going to be looking at the pics who dont know you and if they are who cares? :o x
