Jeans for the groom??

I agree with @Spirit. FH actually *did* grow up as a cowboy in WY. He thinks the jeans at a wedding trend is obnoxious, and I agree.

I personally think that jeans never have a place at a formal event, BUT this is a rare occasion where "it's your wedding," actually applies. Not my monkeys, not my circus.

ETA: I DO think this is a trend that will essentially "time stamp" your wedding though, like the shiny satin, puffball-sleeved dresses of the 80's/90's, so keep that in mind as well.

With the dress it will look fabulous your wedding your day do your thing

Lol hes a big country boy from the south, definitely cowboy rodeo all that grew up in south texas , so it fits his personality and hes not some slick trying to make a fashion statement by dressing up as something hes not .

Is this the same Amanda who aaked about $250 BM dresses?

Yes it is

Wow. So the BM have to drop $250 on a dress while the GM wear jeans?

???

The dresses are not covered in crystals lol ill post a picture

I'm from Texas, seen it done. I didn't do it myself, but if your wedding is in a barn, then it could work.

The comment above about jeans vs. dress is that usually the men have to cover the cost of their suits/tuxes, so if they're wearing jeans, then you're expecting an unfair amount for your girls to pay whereas the guys have very little to pay.

I didn't comment on the BM post since it looked done to death, but if you're having an outside/barn wedding, $250 dresses are way too much.

They don't have to wear a full tux but I would skip the jeans. This is your wedding after all.

My mom wanted us to do jeans but I refuse we are doing this instead.

@alexis i really like that it i can i show him this picture??

So wait, let me get this straight, guys are in jeans and a button down, and then have to buy the hats (which actually is an expense YOU should pick up), girls now not only have to spend $250 on a dress, but are being made to wear boots too, which you no doubt expect them to buy as well (and again, YOU should be paying for).

So much nope all over. So, so rude.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

I did purchase the boots for the ones who didnt have them already , also covering travelling expenses im not sure how thats rude ...?

I said that this is the look my husband wants , bridesmaids know nothing of their attire because we havent decided yet, i just wanted to get opinions on the dress and jeans that was all

My fh is also wearing jeans dark blue with white shirt and brown tie. He is not comfortable in suit. Also it's a small wedding and the only other person standing with him is my son. I will still wear a wedding dress more casual. We are having a rustic theme. I feel it's not what you wear it is about 2 people in love not a fashion show. Wear what makes u both happy.

I hate jeans at weddings. But as long as your being a good host, then do what makes you and your FH happy in the attire department.

However, like one PP said, don't be surprised or upset if your guests show up in jeans and shorts and very casual clothes. You can't expect guests to be dressy if the groom in wearing denim.

If your groom and groomsmen are wearing jeans, your bridal party should be in something like a cotton sundress that cost way under $100, not $250 dresses.

Ive told guests its casual dress

We decided on dresses not groomsmen attire
