Fiance's Sister

Everly, on August 20, 2020 at 2:27 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

My fiance's sister is going to be on his side for the wedding. We decided on black tuxes with black ties and vests for the groomsmen. We decided not to have them wear the plum to match the bridesmaids because neither of us are huge fans of men in purple. She picked out a dress on Azazie which is where we asked the girls to get their dresses. She knows we aren't sure yet if we want her to wear black to match the groomsmen or plum to match the bridesmaids. She made sure she picked a dress that comes in both colors. She is super laid back so she just asked that we let her know when we decide as she doesn't care either way. She just wants us to be happy. I love the dress she picked, but we still can't decide if we like it better in the black or purple. I have linked the dress below if you want to look at the dress in both colors. Her shoes will be silver. Help me decide what you think!

    My FHs sister is on his side as well! At first we were going to have her in burgundy (like my bridesmaids) but decided to have her in navy. My FH only has one other groomsmen besides his sister who will just be in navy pants, a white button up, and a navy tie. So to me it made sense to but her in navy. She’ll be in the “grooms side” bridal photos and standing at the alter instead of walking with the bridesmaids so she doesn’t look like the MOH.

    I'm quite surprised about what I'm going to type: I would put her in black. You don't want her to look like a one-off bridesmaid. You want her to match the fellas. The dress is fabulous by the way and you are so fortunate with her attitude and acceptance!

    If it were my wedding, I would probably ask her to wear a black dress to match the groomsmen, since she will be standing on your fiance's side. I have seen it done both ways though - where the groomswoman wears the same color as the bridesmaids, and also where the groomswoman wears the same color as the groomsmen. I suggest checking out wedding party photos online of other people in a similar scenario, and deciding whether you like the look of her matching the bridesmaids or the groomsmen better.

    I totally agree about the black, especially because the guys are going to be doing all black. I think she would fit in better rather than standing out as the only plum. I also think that she may get more use out of it in the future in black.

    That’s a beautiful dress! I’d say it’s probably best to have her in black like the guys, otherwise she might look like a bridesmaid that got lost. She’ll be on his side, so it’s unlikely anyone would mistake her for MoH if that’s a concern of yours.
