    Jeans for a wedding a truly heinous and awful. It's one day, the most important day of your life. Everyone should dress the part.

    I didn't read the comments, but if you didn't actually WANT opinions except those that match your own then why did you even ask?

    I don't think jeans belong at a wedding. It's not Tuesday; it's not a night out at the bar. It's theoretically one of the most important days of your life together.

    And not putting the effort into even getting a little gussied up for it signals a lack of respect for you, for your parents, and for the gravity of the day.

    But you'll do what you want, clearly, because 'it's your day'.

    ETD; It looks like the khaki idea might fly, and I've actually seen that loads of times. I think it looks great, especially outside in the summer when tuxes look a little too formal.

    I am of the opinion that anyone can dress up for just one day, and jeans at weddings look not great. But it is your wedding!

    Im sorry, but that dress is not worth $250. Im sure you could find something very similar for a much lower price. Maybe thats why your BM is upset. Buying a dress that you could probably find for less than half of that at Macys. Also, when your BMs find out the paid $250 for a dress and the GMs are wearing jeans they may be pissed.

    I've been to one wedding where the groomsmen were in jeans, and I thought it looked really weird considering the bridesmaids were in formal dresses. Don't do jeans unless the bridesmaids are wearing $30 sundresses.

    Yeah... why the hell is your MOH wearing a $375 dress where your GMs wouldn't even be able to wear their attire to a job interview?

    I am personally completely fine with jeans. My dress is a bigger fluffy dress and my fh and groomsmen are wearing jeans and boots with a vest and dress shirt. I agreed becauss my fh is not a tux kind of guy ever. I think that even with them wearing jeans, its almost more expensive than a tux because they have to actually purchase nice jeans and such. I dont feel a bridesmaid dress priced at 250 is completely ridiculous cause the guys might almost spend that much anyways.

    Amanda, you asked for advice and got it. You can either accept it, or do whatever you want. Because, you obviously don't care about the advice given anyways.

    I'm sorry. Your grammar is so atrocious it's difficult to understand what you really are getting at.

    I feel like if you can ensure all the men at your wedding will look as handsome as the ones in the photo then I'd be ok with it. :-)

    Edit: NVM, read the comments. Still hold to the statement above with the agreement that everything should be equally casual (bridesmaid dresses, etc) even with khakis.

    Op, flagged for name calling.

    Nobody was rude until you started. There's a difference between rude and blunt, I suggest you learn it. Rude is calling a bride a cow in her dress, blunt is telling you your idea sucks and why.

    Semantics, they matter. Stop behaving like a child. We've had petulance, a tantrum, and now name calling.

    I think even true cowboys should dress up for their own wedding. Smiley smile

    It's not about a rebuttal. It's about you not following the rules. Everyone else is playing by the rules, why can't you?
