When planning your wedding, one of the biggest style questions grooms face is:
👉 “Do my groomsmen have to wear the same outfit as me?”
The short answer? Not necessarily! At MB Bride in Greensburg, PA, we love helping couples design wedding looks that reflect their personalities—whether that means total uniformity or a mix of coordinated styles.
💍 Matching vs. Coordinated: What’s the Difference?
Traditionally, groomsmen wore matching tuxedos or suits to create a clean, classic look in wedding photos. While that’s still a timeless choice, today’s couples often opt for coordinated outfits instead—styles that complement the groom’s look without being identical.
For example:
- The groom might wear a tuxedo with satin lapels, while his groomsmen wear suits in the same color.
- Or, the groom could stand out with a different tie or vest color, adding subtle contrast that highlights his role.
- You could even switch things up with mix-and-match shades, like charcoal for the groom and light gray for the groomsmen.
👔 Why Coordinated Looks Work So Well
Modern weddings are all about personal expression and comfort. Your groomsmen don’t have to look like carbon copies of each other—what matters is a cohesive style that ties everything together.
At MB Bride, our experienced consultants can help you:
✅ Choose colors and fabrics that complement your wedding theme
✅ Find styles that fit each person’s body type and comfort level

📅 When to Schedule Fittings
We recommend scheduling your party’s fittings about 2–3 months before the wedding to allow plenty of time for adjustments. If your groomsmen live out of town, don’t worry—MB Bride makes it easy to submit measurements online if they get measured at a tuxedo shop or tailor near them.
