How does it sound if the groom wears a cutaway, and the others just plain tuxes? Groom has his heart set on a cutaway, and would prefer everyone in a cutaway. But I'd like to do something that looks good, yet still honor's the groom's desire to be in a cutaway.
FWIW, tradition is that groom and groomsmen (and, I think, ushers) all dress the same. In current form, I guess that would translate as all male members of the wedding party - whether bridesmen or groomsmen - would dress the same.

My gut says the more tasteful thing is tuxes but I can't put my finger on why.
[after some internet research] Duh. "Cutaway" is another name for a morning coat, which really, really is to be worn in the morning or midday only - even in this debouched day and age. What time is your wedding?
