Groom wearing wranglers and boots???

Posted in Wedding Attire 32

My fiancé said he wants 2 things in the wedding and the rest he trusts me with (lol) 1. A keg of Coors Light Okay. That fine with me! 2. He wants to wear wranglers and his nice cowboy boots... Now with that being said, our venue is not rustic AT ALL. I’m not completely turned off by the idea,...

Okay. That fine with me!

2. He wants to wear wranglers and his nice cowboy boots...


Now with that being said, our venue is not rustic AT ALL. I’m not completely turned off by the idea, because it’s very much him, and I love who he is, but I don’t know what to do about the groomsmen.

Should I have them all buy the same wash/cut of wranglers so they all match?

I think the groomsmen are fine with just navy dress shirts

But the groom will have a tan sport coat, white dress shirt, and navy tie..


Opinions?

    This is what FH's plan was for him and his groomsmen. I was completely fine with it but after awhile is family kept pestering me saying it's just one day and that FH can suck it up to wear a suit. It was really agravating because all of it was coming back to me when I was just going along with what FH wanted. We had come to a realization that since my dress was so nice he needed to match me in attire as well. We kind of compromised on a tan ish colored suit with just the slacks, vest, tie and shirt and then still wearing his brown boots. This would work depending on what your colors are.

    If you are just wearing a simple lace/country style dress and your girls are wearing very simple dresses it might work out okay but then you would want to think about family attire too when it comes to pictures. With the dad's and moms and suites and dresses it would of made the jean attire stick out a lot.

    Sorry if I'm repeating anyone - I didn't read previous comments. My FH along with his guys are wearing jeans (all same brand and style) with button down shirts and sport coats. My FH is wearing a navy jackets and the guys are wearing cement gray. All with boots. I think it's a great look and not too "casual," but it's acceptable in my area.

    As for bridesmaid dresses, they are all wearing long navy dresses. The guys aren't "underdressed" by wearing jeans and boots, so neither will my girls. I don't like the idea of sundresses.

    And as for guests - I honestly don't care what they wear. Jeans, slacks, tux, etc., whatever. They are there to celebrate your marriage, not for a fashion show. Also to add, my dad is a suit guy, but my FFIL is a jeans and boots guy, so they will be totally opposite of each other, but that's ok. I'm not making anyone wear something they aren't comfortable in.

    I think it'll look really weird to have the groom in jeans at a fancy wedding. If you already chose a fancy venue, then I think he needs to be a grown up and wear proper attire. If he really wants to wear jeans and boots, then maybe you should consider switching the venue if that's a possibility.

    I say this with the caveat that men dressed casually for a fancy event is a huge pet peeve of mine and I think part of being an adult is dressing appropriately for the setting. It's crazy hot where I am today and I'm exhausted from the 4th. I would've loved to wear gym shorts and a tank to work, but that's not appropriate attire for the office. Jeans and cowboy boots are not proper attire for a formal wedding.

    Loving that your wedding is laid back and causal. I would say have the groomsmen wear that same jeans as well

    If you put cocktail attire on the website or invite I'm not sure how guests would know before they come to wear jeans or that your husband will be wearing jeans.

    She shouldn't put cocktail attire anywhere when the wedding party is going to be in jeans.

    My sister groom and groomsmen all wore good Jean's and good boots. It was very cute. I would just make sure the groom is in a different color shirt.

    Honestly, jeans can be nice, but THEY ARE NOT FOR A WEDDING. He should consider you and how y'all are planning the wedding. Its one day of compromise and life long pictures. Let that be considered

    My FH wants to wear jeans too. I am not country but I rolled with it and now the whole party and the 2 of us will be in boots. I figure he has so few opinions that when he has one, I want to encourage it and let him feel like he has a say. It's a special day for him too! You mentioned he doesn't have many demands, so if I were you, I'd change the attire and give him this. It's about the 2 of you, not JUST you.

    If that's what he wants and you are ok with it I say go for it. nothing wrong with a casual wedding. It's all about you 2 uniting as one anyways. Weddings do not have to be over the top and flashy.

    My question is, has the man even tried on a suit? How does he know he won't like it if he hasn't even tried? For me, a formal venue, a wedding gown, and cocktails attire means formal wear for the groom. Did you ask him what he wanted to wear before you booked the venue? Sounds like he wants casual but everything around him is formal.
