Family Wedding Attire

Dad should wear whatever the rest of the guys in the wedding are wearing. The mothers can wear whatever they please, as long as that is ok with you. Generally, they wear either a coordinating or neutral dress. As far as dad's balance, he will be holding on to you, so I would think he would be fine, as long as there is nothing on the aisle for him to trip on.

Oh Lord Analy, we'll both be going down together with us holding on to each other, lol!!

LOL! Well, can Mom walk on the other side of him, to steady you? I mean, he has to get down there somehow!

Yeah Analy, that's a good idea if my dad will let her. He's kind of proud and would probably rather fall that someone think he has some type of vision problem since my mom would be holding on to him, lol!

Or, he could use a cane/ walking stick? But if he's proud...idk. Practice it!

Thanks for this question because i was wondering the same thing

Depends on how formal your wedding is.

My Dad asked the same thing... and I told him nice black dress slacks and white dress shirt with red tie. (our color is red) Said it was up to him if he wanted to wear jacket with it.

My Mom decided to buy a REALLY nice (to nice if you ask me) dress. Her dress is navy blue

FH family - I'm letting it up to them. As long as no one wears all white.

I want them to be themselves, just slightly dressed up.

The dad's are wearing tuxes (even though FMIL told me that "the grooms dad doesn't traditionally wear a tux" and I told her that my grooms dad will be wearing one!) my mom's dress is a "iced lilac-pinkish" color and FMIL said that she won't start looking until June or so. ("I'll take care of this on my schedule" yea, I want to just punch her) so I'm worried that she's going to pick something uglier than sin. I suggested something silver but considering that she has a full head of gray hair I don't think she'll go that route. I did tell her that I'd like to go with her when she goes to pick it out so I can make sure it doesn't match the other dresses too much. ("this is something I can take care of" I really want to punch her right in the pie-hole so she can't smart off to me anymore!)

My dad is wearing a tux (walking me) and my mom and FMIL/FFIL will wear whatever they want as long as it isn't white.

@kshively, lmao!!

Thanks everyone for your responses!

My dad is wearing a tux. My mom is wearing a dress in a dark purple my girls are in light purple. My FMIL hasn't picked hers yet but she is planning to wear something in red. The guys are wearing red so she wanted to compliment them.

Who cares what everyone else wears! The attention shouldn't be on you mother in law anyways!

Lots of great advice, but as a wedding planner this is my preference. Dad's should wear a balck tux, I dont think they should fully coordinate with the wedding party bc they should stand out as dads not bridal party. They can wear the same tux as groomsmen just a different tux. You can have your Dad meet you at the end of the aisle to give you away. Not sure how long of a walk you have but you can certainly meet him at the end of the aisle and have him just walk you to the altar. Walking with someone definitely calms the nerves so think about it, and it is one of the most proud moments a Dad can have. As far as the Mom's have them pick a color that compliments the Bridal party. If you colors are eggplant, a navy blue dress, or lavender dress would work really well. I hope this info helps!
