What Do You Think About The Groom and Groomsmen Wearing Different Ties?

Afton from Indianapolis asked me that question during last week’s webinar. Its a great question. Why shouldn’t the men be able to express their sense of style on the wedding day. Normally, I would think its a great idea, but one thought makes me hesitate. How will the photos look?

What looks good in person, can sometimes be very distracting in photographs. When I look at wedding photos, I like for my eye to be drawn to faces. My concern is that if there are too many shapes and patterns in those neckties, that’s all anyone will look at in the wedding album.

You must realize that this advice is based completely on personal preference. I suggest getting all of those neckties together, trying them on and taking a photo. See what you think. If the varying shapes and shades don’t bother you, then go for it!

    It is customary for all guys in the wedding party to wear the same tux/suit. The groom should stand out by wearing a white tie and/or vest. Too many different colors while not look very nice in your pictures. Even dads should wear the same! Groomsmen/Ushers may wear the tie/vest in maids dress color.

    Honestly, I don't think it's a problem if the groom wears the same tie as the groomsmen… as long as he stands out somehow. Maybe a white tux or a white vest. I think that if the groom is wearing the same outfit as all the groomsmen it'll be hard to tell whose getting married!
