Family photo inspo.

You don’t have to suggest them wear the exact same colors as your wedding colors. It could be another neutral color if they ask for suggestions. Such as gold or silver or gray

You don’t get to dictate what your family wears. They’re guests, they don’t need to match your decor.

Thank you for your opinion, but I just asked for pictures not advice. Although they are not decor they will be in photos that I am going to look at for the rest of my life so I want them to match.

I am dictating what is and isn't acceptable attire. All of our immediate family are wearing what I have asked them to wear.

I don't have any photos not getting married until 03-28-21. However my colors are navy and dusty rose with hints of rose gold. My mom and I found a dress for her that matches. She'll match the bridal party but still gives her a uniqueness.

View Quoted Comment This site was literally made to give advice. I completely agree that you shouldn't dictate what your family wears. Below I have included what our families wore. Other than the bridesmaids and groomsmen, everyone picked their own outfits.

Sorry people are jumping on you about this. I think it’s a good thing to think about, but I would bring it to them more as suggestions and with options. My mom and I looked at dresses together some, but then she picked one out by herself. We talked about colors; I know she likes red, so I suggested a burgundy since it’s a fall wedding, I told her fall colors. I think they ended up with a dark purple, which will look great with the teal. I haven’t talked to the future in-laws about clothes. My granny and I might go shopping for something for her.

Traditionally, the mother of the bride chooses her color and dress and then the mother of the groom chooses so that they don’t end up in the same color. Siblings and other family members wear whatever they want as long as it fits within the given guidelines of formality or they’re in the bridal party.
If they match the bridal party, it will look like they’re in the wedding. That’s something to consider if you want your bridal party to look special and stand out.
Keep in mind that trying to tell people outside of the bridal party what to wear beyond formality may come off as very rude. I have been to three siblings’ weddings. I ensured I did not match the bridesmaids’ dress color, but I would have been extremely aggravated if they or their spouses had tried to tell me what to wear. They couldn’t include me but they could try to dictate my clothing? That would’ve been a problem.

Theres a certain person on this forum who never has anything nice to say so dont mind her. my parents asked me for advice for what to wear. u dont necessarily have to tell them what to wear but im sure they wouldnt be opposed to your suggestion. for example my mom would not pick a dress that i didnt approve first. u dont want to have a lot of clashing colors in your photo either. we are planning to do everyone in black!
