Groomswomen Attire

Katie, on April 18, 2018 at 1:18 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11
Hi all! I am trying to figure out some attire ideas for a Groomswomen. My FH best man was recently deployed and unfortunately will not be able to be at our wedding. We have asked his wife to stand up for him as a Groomswomen and have chosen another friend as a stand in best man. This has all been discussed with them and everyone is good with it! I’m super excited for her to stand up for him but I have no idea what she should wear. My bridesmaids will be in red dresses and the groomsmen will be in ivory dress shirts, red bow ties and red suspenders and dark wash jeans. I would rather not dress her in white but I was thinking a nice dress shirt and jeans. Does anyone else have any ideas?

    My fiancé has a groomsmaid as well. I’m having her wear the same color dress as the shirt the guys are wearing. With your guys wearing ivory, I’m not sure if it would work or not given White/ivory is normally the brides color

    That’s kind of where I was stuck as well. I was contemplating putting her in a dress that matches some of the other colors in our scheme like a taupe or something.

    It sounds like the wedding is pretty casual. What about some dark wash jeans to match the groomsmen and then either a red or ivory top.

    We had a groomswoman, my husband and his other GMs were wearing tuxes, so we told her she could either wear a tux with them, or a long black dress (BMs were in burgundy dresses and she chose a long black dress). I like your idea of jeans and a nice dress shirt (maybe red?) you could also do an ivory dress shirt with maybe a red maxi skirt?

    My FH has a Groomswoman and I asked her if what she would like to wear - a suit or a dress. She ultimately chose a dress that's the same color as my bridesmaid dress, but in a different style. You could also do a skirt and blouse since the guys are wearing jeans.

    My first thought is a dress similar to this. Perhaps an ivory top and a skirt with red or a dark wash bottom. That way she's not completely in an ivory dress.

    Have you considered having her wear the same color bridesmaid dress but just a different style? This could be a good option. Your wedding sounds laid back, so dark wash jeans may look nice then a nice dress shirt to match the men. Will she get a bouquet (if your bridesmaids have them)?

    So I discussed with her and I think what we are going to do is dark washed jeans, a nice button up white blouse and then I will either do a corsage or a boutonnière. The other thought was a jean skirt but she’s more comfortable in jeans and I am fine with that.

    That sounds like a great idea! I am glad you have figured it out. How awesome that you were able to work with her to come up with a common ground on what she is comfortable with and give her options! Smiley smile

    If she’s comfortable with it I’d say have her wear what the groomsmen are wearing or dark jeans and a red shirt. My FSIL is my FHs best man and they will be wearing the same navy slacks, white button up and navy vest. She actually looks amazing in it (as does FH, of course. 😉)
