It's really dependant on the style of wedding you are having. You could co-ordinate the colours of your suits and opt for different fabrics or styles to differentiate or you could go with suits that totally reflect each of your personalities.

There really are no rules. The important thing is, that you feel comfortable and confident.

Two grooms, two outfits that reflect their own personality and who they are. It's important that your wedding day reflects who you both are as a person and a couple. Therefore, the outfits for two grooms can still match whilst being different and reflecting themselves.  

At Wolf Kanat we have a wide variety in store and also offer made to measure, so there are enough options that both grooms can have similar tones or match in some way without being the same. Our tailoring specialists can help you both find the right outfits, head to toe, right down to accessories, based on the style of wedding, theme, etc. 

Best of Luck.

Hi

I have found the best way to tackle this question is to get to know the groom so that you are able to suggest idea's that reflect the personality. A suit is almost always the way to go but whether they match will matter more to the grooms than anyone else.

Recently I made two outfits (white tuxedo's with black trousers - groomsmen in black tuxedo's) which worked fantasticly, and this also set the grooms apart. Alternatively one light and one dark would also work if there were no groomsmen.

Best of luck!

Two groomsmen is not an issue. Usually match them to please. As it's you and your fiance's wedding, I would advise dressing them and styling them to match the groom.

Finding looks that compliment or match is relatively easy, and I recommend using the following guidelines.

1 - If you don't want to match the colours ensure you match the suit tones. This is nice and simple because no point putting the groom in dark blue and the boys in light grey. You want his colour to be the point of focus, use light colour to your advantage. 

2 - Accessorise to the same level. If you have a 3piece look for the groom, this should be the same for the groomsmen. If you have opted to use guideline 1, then keeping it simple and matching the vests to the suits is a great idea.

3 - Ensure your groom is the most formal. It's a wedding, don't dress the groom down and then dress the groomsmen up, it will make him look out of place. Always dress the groom to the highest level, and then use that as the benchmark for the groomsmen.

These 3 easy things to remember, help make the groom look the part for any wedding. Some general advice would be to remember your tastes, and likes. If something bothers you, find an alternative, there is always an answer to even the most strangest of problems.

Thats a great question.  The most important thing is to ensure that each Grooms personality and taste shines through.  Just as a bride and groom have selected the outfit of their dreams, so should both of the Grooms. 

If they want to be 'similar but different' they could wear either the same colour or style of outfit but then make it their own by selecting their choice of accessories. One may want to wear a bow-tie while the other wears a tie, or they may both wear the same suit but in a different colours....  It really doesnt matter what each wears so long as they feel amazing in the outfit of their choice. 

At Just For Him, we work with couples that are getting married specifically to turn their vision into reality, and if they dont have a vision, we are able to show them different options until they see what they like. 

Every person is different - what is right for one person, isnt for another. 

It doesnt matter who is getting married, they dont have to wear outfits that look alike. 

Another factor to consider is the location of the wedding as this may dictate how formal the outfits should be.
