the groomsmen

For the groomsmen we knew from the start we wanted them to wear suits, not tuxes and definitely not black. Since we already had the girls’ dresses chosen earlier in the year, it was easier to search for a guys suit to complement it. Their outfits were also pretty detailed; almost as much as the bridesmaids. These guys were all very responsive and open to ideas/suggestions which made it an easy task to coordinate things. I personally think they were so attentive b/c they’re scared I’d whip ’em into shape if they didn’t answer emails. Hahaha j/k!! I’d have to say it was just as fun shopping for them as it was for the girls. Check things out below and see how awesome they looked in their various outfits and accessories.

What was worn all day:

• J. Alexander suits from 3 Day Suit Broker in Fountain Valley
• Calvin Klein purple cuff links
• Silk purple pocket squares from Macy’s
• Sean John dress shirts
• For a steal we found Calvin Klein vests that were such a close match to the suit color. They were on clearance at the Macy’s in Mission Viejo and were only $20 each. We weren’t even actively looking and we just landed on them! They didn’t have ’em all in their sizes so we had to get ’em tailored a bit but it all worked out great. Such luck and fate.

For your enjoyment, a short video from the suit tryouts.

The guy’s cufflinks. Rob’s is different.

Main outfit for the tea and wedding ceremonies consisted of:

• Calvin Klein Body slim ties in satin purple.
• Kenneth Cole brown dress shoes.
• Banana Republic brown argyle socks.

You have to agree, these guys are lookin’ sharp!

As a personal touch the guys decided to add bling to their ties since the bridesmaids had bling initials on their bouquets.

Being a little silly.

Banana Republic argyle socks worn by Rob and the groomsmen. The groomsmen had matching brown Kenneth Cole shoes.

As a secondary outfit the guys switched things up a bit at the reception:

• Corduroy bow ties from Urban Outfitters at $5 each!
• Flask socks also from Urban Outfitters.
• A gift from us: Converse Jack Purcell John Varvatos Oxford Low Profile Leather in noce/milk

In this image you can see a little better how the cufflinks are purple.
The vest had a bit of texture while the suit was completely flat but the colors matched up very well.

Yup, these bowties were only $5 from Urban!
The Sean John shirts had a checkered pattern to it.

Check out those flask socks! One of you guys have to enlighten me about what is so funny.

I was very happy with how their outfits turned out. They all looked so handsome and complemented the bridesmaids very well.
