Groom and best man in dress blues?

Erika, on February 17, 2018 at 11:47 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
So my FH is a marine veteran and really wants to wear his dress blues for the wedding which Im very excited about and his best man is currently in the army. My FH asked me how I would feel about his best man wearing his dress blues as well. The best man is in the army so his dress blues are very different than the marine dress blues and my FH has several metals and ribbons on his blues while the best man just has a few ribbons. The rest of the groomsmen would be wearing light grey suits. Would this look weird? I just don’t want anything to take away from my fiancé standing out from The rest of the men. Thoughts?

    I think it’d be cool! Some people have different outfits for the MOH, so why not for the best man?

    I think that would be totally fine. I doubt many people will even notice the difference in number of medals. Dress Blues for moth Army and Marine look snappy, your photos will turn out great (and a little bit of money is being saved!)

    I say absolutely he should wear them. No one at your wedding is going to get confused about who the groom is.

    Hey was in the marines. The dress blues are very different from each other. Honestly marines have the best dress blues! Even if they both wear their dress blues it definitely won’t take away from your husband! He will out shine everyone! I still have my dress blues because I love that uniform! Might never wear it again but it looks awesome in the closet lol. I think it’s a good idea!!

    I like the idea of the dress blues. Your combination sounds lovely. FH (army vet) also likes the sound of your groomsmen attire.


    Rest assured in your decisions. Smiley smile *hugs*

    I am wearing my Marine corps dress blues to my wedding and I would feel honored and allow anyone that also served this country to wear their blues to my wedding if they wanted to. You should be honored that someone who put their life on the line for this nation wants to wear their dress blues to your wedding. Also, I do not understand why you bring up the medals and ribbons? Medals and ribbons do not mean that someone is better than other service members. At the end of the day is your wedding and you'll have the last saying. Good luck to you.
