I'm due to get married in March 2023 in Phoenix, AZ, and I'm currently working on picking out my own outfit and the outfit my groomsmen will wear. The wedding colors are sapphire blue, sage green, and sand. The bridesmaids are all in long, satin, sage green dresses.
I recently purchased a blue, Bartorelli Napoli, 100% wool, two-piece suit. It has sort of a two-tone fabric that includes a very dark blue and a brighter royal blue mixed together, which gives something like a sapphire blue appearance. I am thinking to put a separate vest with the suit, along with a tie and pocket square, that will be a brighter, lighter blue, perhaps with a paisley pattern to pop out. Simple white shirt underneath, matte black shoes. I'll also try to find socks to match my tie.
There are three groomsmen, but one is actually a groomswoman who has agreed to wear the same style suit as the other two groomsmen, for uniformity. For the groomsmen, I'm thinking a different shade of blue suit, three-piece with included vest (instead of a bold separate vest, like I'm looking at for myself), and a sage green tie, pocket square, and socks to match with the bridesmaids. Again, simple white shirt underneath and matte black shoes.
Constructive feedback on these ideas and any suggestions for where to purchase or rent these items are welcome. Since one groomsmen is in LA and another is in NYC, I figured Men's Wearhouse would be the easiest for renting or buying, but I'm open to alternatives. Plus, I'm trying to keep the costs as low as possible to be kind to my groomsmen, who will be paying for their outfits. If you have a better idea for the overall outfit or a specific tweak, I'd like to hear that, as well.
