Hi I'm not good at knowing what goes together colour wise etc so can i ask any creative and fashionable people if this will work please? Bridesmaids - royal blue dresses and sunflower bouquets Best man, father of bride and father of groom - grey suit and waistcoat, royal blue tie and pocket thingy (don't know what they are called!) and small sunflower buttonhole Groom - he wants to wear a blue suit (not royal blue, more a navy type colour) with a yellow tie and sunflower buttonhole. He would have a waistcoat too but not sure what colour...maybe grey? Does that sounds like it would all compliment each other in photos? Thank you for any opinions x

Hi the colours are great but I wouldn't have a grey waistcoat :)

The navy with the yellow sunflowers will be so nice together. Grey suits fit in with any colour really. I personally prefer a great suit to black

Agree with Lucy. Perhaps not the grey waistcoat for the groom but otherwise the colours sound great.

Royal blue and sunflowers look gorgeous together. Agree with Lucy also maybe not grey waistcoat, Navy suits would look better with the grey waistcoat and grey tie in my opinion.
Maybe get him to try a few suits on and pick a few he likes :)

I think Make everything listed as royal blue, navy and that will look lovely.

We had this combination!

So my bridesmaids were in royal blue dresses and had ivory/royal blue flowers.

The ushers all had grey suits, grey waistcoats and royal blue cravats with a white shirt.
My husband had the grey suit, white shirt and a patterned waistcoat which was white with royal blue swirls and then then royal blue cravat! It all looked lovely! They all also has ivory button holes to match us girls!

Navy/blue and yellow go beautiful together. I was bm in august and we had navy dresses/yellow sunflowers and it was stunning.

I'd stick with 1 shade of blue if possible, as different shades can clash!
Pick either navy or royal blue and stick with it if you can!
But I think blue yellow and grey sounds great! Good luck! X

We married in summer last year, my husband had a sunflower buttonhole and pink cravat (to compliment the pink on bridesmaid's dresses). Best man and my dad had opposite - pink gerbera and yellow cravat. All 3 wore navy suits. More pics in replies. Have a fabulous day, I'm sure you'll all look perfect
