Light Grey With Lilac
A light grey suit or tuxedo is the most popular choice. Our shale grey tuxedo by Allure Men is very complimentary and not too heavy against the lighter purple shades. This romantic pallet of lilac bridesmaid dresses and light gray suits is a classic choice for an outdoor wedding, or spring/summer weddings.
Tan or Wheat
Tan suits will keep the pallet light and airy and are great for a rustic country look or boho wedding theme. Our tan Dominic by Ike Behar works well on the beach or a garden setting. If the wedding is in late summer and you want something just a bit darker, consider a suit in the color Wheat.
Navy & Dark Blue
Navy suits and tuxedos pair beautifully with purples and is a great way to add a richness to the palette. This combination works any time of year as navy is a very versatile color. The Navy Sebastian groomsmen suits go with lavender beautifully and is a classic and elegant wedding look.
Dark Grey
Darker shades of grey like charcoal and granite will add a lovely contrast to lavender dresses yet stay classic and formal. Charcoal is ideal for a formal evening event or fall weddings and looks beautiful with all shades of purple. Add silver accents for extra detail.
More Blue Suits
Yale and Oxford are different shades of blue that would match beautifully with purple bridesmaid and mother of the bride and groom dresses. These may match your aesthetic better than the dark navy for spring weddings.
Green Suit Pairings For Lavender & Lilac
What about the Greens? Olive and Hunter greens are shades that blend right in with the colors of nature. Gorgeous sage green groomsmen suits go with lavender perfectly. Add accents in gold to keep the warm and romantic feel.
Accessories
Lets say you decide on classic black suits or tuxedos. Perfection and timeless, black goes with every color and season whether you choose to have a summer or winter wedding. Black is by far our most popular color that we rent overall. Lavender groomsmen ties and pocket squares are a must to match the bridesmaids’ dresses and will add that beautiful pop of color.
The color lavender is a perfect choice for a wedding color palette. Other colors similar to lavender are cool tones like periwinkle and iris; heather and wisteria with gray undertones; and Orchid and amethyst that are a little more vibrant.
