    Denim! I so wanted a personalized denim jacket to put over my dress. But september is still hot in Bama and it’s so expensive!

    Both look great! I personally wear plaid a lot, but the denim looks really cute with the dresses. I'm not sure I would incorporate either in my wedding day, but it's a good idea!

    Bridal denim jackets are my fave!!!! That would've been so cute but definitely uncomfortable in the heat.

    If it were up to my fiance we would all be wearing flannel even though we are getting married in the summer 😂 but I personally don't like either for a wedding not mine at least.

    I like both as well but it's about the denim that always catches my attention!

    I think plaid fits more with the Fall season.

    Neither, as in pictures. Don't choose a dressy gown for yourself, and bridesmaids, and expect guests in anything but jeans and t shirts, then add a denim or bright plaid shawl or shirt over gowns. Clownish, and as a bm I would be furious I went to great effort and expense to dress in a gown of the type requested, then put on super casual or sportswear tops over it. Men in tattersall shorts, tiny plaid under a jacket, sure. When we called off our first wedding due to MOG nastiness, FI and I married in a Colorado Mt town, with a few friends. Denim and plaid on most, along with hiking boots, and backpacks leaned against the wall as accessories, . Next stop, back country hiking trip. Denim and plaid fine in such a country or very casual wedding. But in a gown, 1 odd piece for a top, might as well cut arm and neck holes in a large paper or plastic bag. And wear that .

    Good choice!! I love the look of those shirts! What color did you choose? Are they going to be personalized?

    My now husband wore a dressy dark navy suit, with a dress shirt of fine tattersall ( also called windowpane plaid) with a white background, and the fine lines in dark navy, navy, and a light gold. I wore a white lace over pale gold formal gown. Groomsmen also wore fine tattersall dress shirts, with at least one of the 1/32 inch stripes on the white background a sage green. Other their suit color, grey, blue, or black. BM dresses varying blue greens, same family as sage but lighter and darker. But no matching colored handkerchiefs or ties. What made these fine for me, was the dress shirt fabric or linen and cotton was a dress cut and fabric. Not outdoor casual. With formal suits and gowns.

    I gotta say neither. I'm not a very "trendy" person.
