For easy reference, here's exactly what my husband & I would wear for each dress code: Formal: We'd probably call you or someone in the bridal party to ask if formal means "black tie optional" in this context, or just dark suits and formal dresses
For a laid-back but coordinated vibe, groomsmen can stick to neutral tones like beige, gray, or navy, and add sage green touches like matching ties, bowties, pocket squares, or boutonnires
Theyll cut out along that traced line
The key at this formality level is that the silhouette and fabric carry the full weight of the look
Avoid heavy embellishment or ultra-structured silhouettes, which push the maxi too close to formal
