Should groomsmen wear white pocket squares for wedding?

I am going to wear a white pocket square with my suit for my wedding. Should I have my groomsmen also all have white pocket squares, or should I be the only one wearing one to distinguish myself from them?

Thanks.

White is not required (unless they'll be wearing tuxes ... if it's "just suits, another colour is fine.)

The can wear coloured or white at their own choice. The groom normally stands out sufficiently because he stands in front of the parson alongside the lady in white and therefore does need any form of marker attached.

What are you wearing? What are your groomsmen wearing? And, most importantly, what does your bride think?

We are all wearing dark suits and grey ties. I guess my question really is, will it look bad if I wear a square and they do not?

I would say you wear a white pocket square, and get them some grey pocket squares. It would be nice and subtle.

Quite normal - look at any gathering of men.
