Dressing Your Wedding Party: How to Coordinate Your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

Wedding fashion not only reflects your life together as a couple, but it also will be the first thing you look at when you revisit memories from your happy day. That’s why you’ll want to ensure your wedding party looks great and matches.

But with so many different colours and fabric types, it can be difficult to coordinate your bridesmaids and groomsmen perfectly. However, the contrast in colours and fabrics can add texture and depth to your special day. Once you accept that exact coordination won’t happen, you can have some fun with the wedding party clothes.

Think About Your Color Scheme

The first thing you need to do, before looking at the various bridesmaids and groomsmen’s colours, is to determine the colour of your wedding palette. Your own colour scheme will depend on the theme of the wedding and the preferences of the bride and groom.

Often wedding palettes can have up to five colours. That’s right, you don’t need to stick to just two or three. We recommend you choose a primary colour and match three or four secondary colours with your partner. 

Considering your own colour scheme will help to inform what colours you want your bridesmaids and groomsmen to be in. Don’t forget to think about colours that will look great on everyone.

Match Primary Colors for Both Women and Men

After you have a clear vision of your colour palette, you need to decide how to match your groomsmen and bridesmaids.

The most common option is to use the primary colour for the bridesmaid’s dresses and match the groomsmen’s accessories to it. For example, if your primary colour is blue then the bridesmaid dresses will be blue and you could put the groomsmen in blue ties. Alternatively, you can match the groomsmen’s other accessories with the primary colour, such as their socks, pocket squares, or suspenders.

Think About Patterns

Matching colours isn’t the only way you can coordinate your wedding party. Another great option is focusing on matching patterns.

For example, the bridesmaids could all be dressed in floral and the groomsmen could have a floral tie or jacket. Alternatively, if there is a pattern with significance to the bride and groom, you could include that pattern in the wedding attire. For example, if both bride and groom both love astronomy, you could have bridesmaids and groomsmen with matching stars and planets accessories.
