This only answered half the question. What about bridesmen?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there is one more logical step to this line of thought… We're not having a divided wedding party. They are all "our wedding party" not bride's party and groom's party. I know not everyone can do this, but for couples who have been together for ages, I think it's a natural enough thing to do. Plus, then no one has to look like anyone but themselves
Not that this outfit isn't hot hot hot.

Isn't this the third Santa Cruz wedding on Offbeat Bride this month? As a Santa Cruzian I'm feeling proud. What other town of this size gets this much attention on OBB?
OffbeatAriel said
Things come in clusters on OBB — we had a cluster of Wai Ching dresses, a cluster of Lasertron bouquets, a cluster of Australia weddings, and now a little cluster of Santa Cruz weddings. It's not completely intentional, but not completely unintentional either.

Actually, it only answered half the question because this is the amazing back of the outfit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/m…740505547/

HA! Your answer is way better than mine.

I'm actually going to be a groomswoman in my friends' upcoming wedding. I've basically been given free reign to wear whatever I want. I'm quite the girly girl normally, so everyone expects me to wear some sort of dress, but I'm thinking about wearing a feminine pantsuit with heels. I want to be my own person while still blending in the rest of the guys.

I was married this year, I'm also the guy standing next to Groomswoman in the "back" shot, and I also had a woman as a groomswoman. My friend wore the same tuxedo that the men wore. She wore a different pair of black slacks that fit her figure more appropriately and they gave her a boys jacket in the same cut. She looked absolutely amazing.
