Groomswoman?

Stephanie, on May 30, 2017 at 5:13 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 24

How many of you had a groomswoman in your bridal party? Or what about a Man of honor? or Brides"man". We have a female friend who was friends with my FH first, and she is being adamant that she wants to stand on his side. I don't mind it, but was wondering how many of you out there had something similar? We all agreed that she would wear a female suit in the color to match the groomsmen, and maybe pink shoes as that is my bridesmaid dress color. What did your friend/family member wear?

    FH is going to have 2 groomsmaids. We're giving them the choice between dresses that complement the suits for the groomsmen, or wearing suits cut for them. They're both more feminine, but have decided they want "lady power suits" to fully embrace the role lol

    I have a Brides"man" in my wedding! My cousin and I are very close and since my FH and I both have 2 brothers, we decided my male cousin should be on my side. He is going to have matching suits to the groomsmen, but will have a purple vest instead of grey. I love the idea of having a mixed bridal party, and if I could go back I would have had both of my brothers on my side as well!

    My brother is my bridesman. He'll match the groomsmen, though he did offer to wear a dress with the girls if I really wanted it Smiley xd

    We have groomswomen and groomsmen.. they are all wearing suits. Weddings are different nowadays and you can do whatever you want. You can tailor your wedding any way you choose! Whatever makes you happy at the end of the day is what matters.

    My FI is having a "groomslady," although my FMIL insisted I change that title on the website and not print it in the programs. She thinks it's disgusting sounding and like she is a cleaning woman or something. I don't know why she thinks that.

    She will be wearing the same dress as my bridesmaids but in black.

    I have a Man of Honor and a bridesman, they'll be wearing the same colored suits as the groomsmen but will be matching their accessories with the bridesmaids.

    I have a bridesman! He's a very close friend of myself and my MOH, couldn't have imagined not having him. Haven't figured out what he's wearing yet though. He'll probably just match the groom's men

    Our groomslady is wearing a dress in the fabric/length of the bridesmaids, but in the color of the groomsmen's suits.

    I have a bridesman, he's wearing the same suit as the groomsmen, but with a bow tie instead of a long tie.

    I have them almost every other week now. I think it's a fabulous idea!

    We had a groomswoman. I just wanted her in black to match the suits the guys were in and it was up to her if she wanted to wear pants and a blouse, a suit, skirt, or dress (she wore a simple black dress). And I made her a bouquet (but I would have made her a boutonniere if she preferred)

    I'm having a man of honor. We aren't matching so he will just wear a suit.

    FH is having a Best Woman. I'm not going to insist she wear a suit or tux, but my vision is that she has a black dress to match the tuxes. I wouldn't want to have her wear a dress that looks too much like the bridesmaids.

    One of my grooms people is a grooms woman and she is going to wear a tux w/ top hat (just like the rest of the grooms people).

    She has also said that since I (the groom) and one of my groomsmen would also be her brides people (if she ever gets married) we would wear dresses to her (theoretical) wedding (we are a really silly bunch)
