Grooms suit

Natasha, on August 3, 2024 at 8:18 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
Hello I am getting married in October, my colors are burnt orange and a dark green, my wedding dress is an ivory which is off white. My mom thinks my grooms needs to wear the same color but he doesn’t like that color and everyone has been arguing about it and he is determined to wear a dark grey suit, my mother threatens she will make me pay for the photographer if we don’t go with the color she wants. Is a dark charcoal grey a good color suit with my wedding colors? I have had many breakdowns due to this problem and need advice on what to do and how to navigate all this? Thanks in advance I appreciate the help!

    Your mother is being very controlling. No, she gets no say on what your spouse wears on his person no matter her money. Be prepared to literally pay your way into choosing your own wedding and your life or your mother will continue to boss and threaten you (and your husband!) throughout your married lives.

    BTW, charcoal grey is a neutral color, and common color in men's attire for a reason.

    Men’s attire is typically a “neutral” color (black, gray, navy, or khaki) rather than a bridal party color. They bring the color in with ties, vests, cummerbunds, pocket squares, etc. Your fiancé’s request sounds very normal.


    That said, your mom can choose not to give money for any reason she chooses, even a stupid one. Just tell her he’s wearing what he chose, and if she chooses not to pay for the photographer, that’s her call.
