How do i dress my officiant?

LJ, on August 8, 2018 at 2:29 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 6
So, my brother is going to officiate our wedding (FH’s idea) since we are not planning a religious ceremony. He asked what we wanted him to wear and after a hilarious brainstorm (bikini T-shirt and inflatable t-Rex costume may or may not have been suggested), we remain somewhat unsure of what he should wear. Do we dress him the same as the groomsmen? I was thinking similar style but different color (the boys will be in blue suits, so maybe gray for him?

While we’re talking about style, my nieces (who will be 7 and 5 at the wedding) are going to be walking me down the aisle since my dad is no longer with us. Suggestions for where to look for dresses? I don’t want them to look too tradional flower girlish.

    Lol at the bikini T-shirt and t-Rex costume 😂 FHs cousin is officiating our wedding. He asked to wear the same suit as FH and the groomsmen. I was ok if he wanted to wear whatever he wanted really. If your FH is ok with it, I would let your brother wear the same thing as the groomsmen if he wants to. If not, just a neutral suit to match the formality of the other guys and maybe a matching or similar tie.

    I'd just ask him to wear any suit that he already owns. If he doesn't own one then he can rent one of his choosing. He doesn't need to match. I'd get him a nice bout to indicate he is an honored guest.

    Our wedding party is wearing black and grey. So the BM's are wearing black dresses and the GM are wearing black and grey suites. My Fiance's sister is our officiant and we told her that she can something along those lines to fit in with the wedding party. However, we told her that if she would prefer not to, that we just ask her not to wear any bright colors. We just want to make sure that we stand out and eyes aren't on her while we are all standing up there.

    I think a gray suit should work. My FH and groomsmen are all in blue too and our officiant is wearing gray. It's a nice neutral color that could really go with any color scheme.

    Ours wore a dark blue suit and a plaid tie. Hubby had one Best Man, they did not match.

    My dad officiated, and we had him wear the same tux and tie as the groomsmen.
