Tux Lapels for Groomsmen Tuxes with Four-In-Hand?

[evpj2L]

For my upcoming wedding, I'll be wearing a classic one button peak lapel tux with a bow tie. I want my look to stand out from the groomsmen, without making them look too rentally/prommy. To accomplish this, I'm thinking I'll have them wear black four-in-hand ties.

Would it be better to have them wear the four-in-hands with peak lapels like me, or should I have them wear notch lapel tuxes to be consistent with the non-traditionalness of their ties?

I'm leaning towards having them wear a four-in-hand tie with a peak lapel tux. I know that's not a totally classic look, but will it look weird?

You should all wear bow ties, IMHO.

To differentiate yourself from the groomsmen, you could wear
a different color boutonniere.

Or just stay close to the bride

I don't think the groomsmen should wear four in hand ties. Why don't you wear a white pique vest to stand out.

Wear a name tag. If guests don't connect your name with "groom," your invite list was too long.

Best way not to look like prom is to make sure everyone is tying his own bow, and not wearing a rental tux. The former is quite feasible, the latter may not be.
I like the white pique vest idea, may use that in my wedding (november)!
