Family attire

Meagan , on June 24, 2019 at 12:52 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
Hello! so my brother isn’t in our wedding, but of course he’s important (it’s a long story)
anyways, my fiancé, his groomsmen, my dad and his step dad all have the same color tuxedo for the wedding. My brother happens to have a tux almost the same color, if not the same color (I haven’t seen it in person) as everyone else. My fiancé and his mom think I should ask him
to wear something different and I don’t. Our colors are navy blue so the tuxedos are all that color. I understand my brother isn’t a groomsman but he’s family and just as important. Just wanting some opinions on my brother wearing the same tux color.

    I think it's a very nice idea. Can you maybe find something for him to do to make him be "in the wedding" but not a groomsman? Maybe then you'll have a justification for it. Not that you need one, but it could help. Maybe he could be the usher, do a reading during the ceremony, or do a toast or say a prayer before the meal if you are religious?

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him wearing the same color tux - especially if he already has it. What color ties/handkerchief are the grooms party wearing? Maybe they can wear a specific color/design to designate that they are groomsmen?l

    I think it’s fine if he wears the same color tux, but maybe just ask that he wear a different color (that coordinates, but not the same) shirt or tie that is not what the groomsmen are wearing.

    I think it's ok he doesn't wear a different color. After all maybe his tie or bowtie is different.
