Wedding Attire: Groomsmen in Sneakers

Posted Monday, August 11, 2008 10:12 AM

We've seen a lot of brides opt for untraditional wedding attire lately, and groomsmen are getting in on the act too.

 

If it matches the vibe of the wedding, I'm a fan of the suit-and-sneakers look. Cheryl and David decked out their groomsmen in black suits and black-and-white Converse shoes for their wedding in the Bahamas, while Courtney and Charlie's groomsmen sported chocolate-brown and robin's egg blue Nikes to match the color palette of their wedding in Minnesota. (Check out more formalwear photos).

What do you think: Love or hate the idea of sneakers on groomsmen? Are you including any untraditional elements in your bridal party attire?

re: Wedding Attire: Groomsmen in Sneakers

We are doing all black vans tennis shoes with our formal wedding, we bought all the shoes as gifts for the groomsmen & ring bearers.  My groom wanted to be comfortable on the big day and having a formal wedding I was really nervous about it but we brought the shoes down and had one of them try it on with the tuxes and they looked great!  The groomsmen I know will love it!
