Best Ma'am Attire/ Suggestions Needed

Melyssa , on September 18, 2011 at 9:48 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

FH's best friend introduced us & and has agreed to stand up with him at the ceremony. She has dubbed herself the Best Ma'am. We are trying to figure out what she should wear. My MOH is in chocolate brown dress, FH in brown suit (informal wedding). I really would prefer that she not have to spend a lot of $$ for something she wouldn't use again.

Any ideas??

    A tux like the groomsmen, just have her fitted and sexy!

    A dress! Either like your MOH's or another brown dress. Don't put a woman in a tux just because she's friends with a guy. Unless she likes dressing like that, of course. But most women would definitely prefer a dress.

    I should've told my best friend I was going to put him in a dress since he was standing beside of me... lol. And if I am forced to wear a tux to his wedding, I'd choke them both.

    At first I was gonna say do a black dress with the wedding color as a sash thats what my FH best "ma'am" is gonna do for our wedding. But since your color is brown and your FH is wearin a brown suit im not sure what else will work other then a brown dress. For sure try to have it a different dress then the MOH so she could look like she belongs on the grooms side maybe if your bridesmaids are wearing a long dress have her wear a short one or vise versa

    What color tie would your FH (and/or GM, if there are any) wear? Perhaps she could coordinate with that?

    I would give her the choice.

    If I were her, I would hate having to wear guys clothes *but that's just me*. Maybe the same color and fabric than the MOH, but just a diff style??

    Thanks for the input --My other color is a muted teal. Groom's suit is dark brown with teal tie. It's a small wedding --we each have one attendant. I thought about just a nice dress in a neutral color-- she doesn't own anything brown other than shoes. She's pretty willing to do whatever I ask her to wear (not a tux).

    What are the thoughts on a nice pant suit?

    If shes willing to do a pant suit thats made for a woman then go for it. My FH's best ma am said it I wanted her to wear something close to a tux shes willing to do a pant suit. But to me her personality and style isnt a suit she will look much better and comfortable in a dress.

    Maybe ask her is she prefers a dress or a pant suit and get her opinion?

    I agree with Jamie.T that you should go for a dress instead of Tux.......Just because she is standing with groom doesn't mean that she have to wear tux or suit.......

    I would suggest you to let her choose her own dress something in black.......And if possible knee length......here are few pics of dresses i really like....
