Father of the Bride Colors??

Brittany, on October 15, 2019 at 1:06 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
Trying to figure out what tux colors to do for my father for the wedding. I just always assumed that he wore the same colors as the groomsmen, but now I've learned that he can really wear any color. Any advice on father of the bride colors?? Groomsmen will be in black tuxes, black shirts, and cranberry red ties, groom will be in black tux, black shirt and white tie. Should the Father of the Bride match groomsmen or wear something coordinating to the Mother of the Bride or just something neutral??

    I think if he coordinated with your mom that would be kinda cute. My brother and my dad actually coordinated together their tuxes

    I matched my dad with the flower girls, they wore grey & I had him wear black suit with grey tie.

    We told the father's to wear whatever made them most comfortable. We did buy them ties (they were some shade of blue but didn't match) and they ended up both in blue suits (different shades). The groom & groomsmen were in black suits. Everyone looked great.Picture of my husband in the middle, his father on left and my father on the right. Father of the Bride Colors?? 1

    My dad is coordinating with my mom. My mom is wearing black though so it’s easy for him 😂

    We have my dad in the same tux as the groomsmen but with a different tie and different shoes.

    I like when the father wears something that coordinates with the wedding party, but isn't identical to the groomsmen. I'll probably be doing that. For example, your father could wear a black suit with a white shirt & red tie, or a cranberry red shirt & a black tie. But really, you could just do anything you want. I don't think he needs to match anyone.

    Depending on what color you mom is wearing maybe he could wear black and then tie in the color your mom is wearing.

    Once I talk my dad out of wearing a pineapple suit, I will have him in the same suit as the groomsmen but with a different colored tie. I really think we can only go with a grey suit that will match our colors, so the tie or shirt is really the only differences there will be.

    My plan is to have the FOB and FOG wear the same thing as the groom and groomsmen which is a dark gray tux. I might change up their ties and vests. As of right now I'm just trying to talk my dad out of wearing a camo tux..yes he found one online and thought it would be a great idea. My FFIL also heard about this and wants one too.

    We had the dads wearing the same suit as the groomsmen at the moms' request.

    Our wedding colors were navy, light blue, silver and white
    brideamaids were in navy
    groomsmen light blue
    dada in silver.
    Our moms semi coordinated (my mom in black with silver/shimmer. His mom In taupe and white kind of silver accent)
    choose a color that ties everything together. They won’t be in a lot of pictures but I think should still coordinate somewhat. I don’t think they should match the groomsmen but that’s just my personal opinion.

    My guys will be in navy. My mom is also wearing navy, so my dad is going to wear a dark gray suit.
