I have noticed a lot of brides choose their groom’s attire for the wedding. Prior to planning my own wedding, I thought that sounded a bit “Bridezilla”. I mean, the groom doesn’t choose the bride‘s dress, so why does she choose what he wears?? After getting engaged and beginning to plan our wedding, my fiancé asked me what I wanted him to wear for the ceremony. He was shocked when I told him that it was entirely up to him; I wanted him to choose something he liked and felt good in, and I would be surprised at the altar. Shortly after, I discovered my fiancé thought 1970s powder blue leisure suits were ”cool” 🤦🏼♀️ I truly thought I would be completely OK with whatever he chose to wear (I had even prepared for jeans and an old Harley shirt LOL) But never in my wildest dreams did I prepare for a powder blue leisure suit. And apparently, that is where I draw the line 😆 I didn’t tell him no, or lay down any rules for what he could or couldn’t wear... but I did have him look through wedding inspo pictures on Instagram that “just so happened” to have some really great grooms looks in them. I pointed out a couple of my favorites and mentioned how incredible he would look in them. Thank my lucky stars, he agreed!! So now he will be wearing what I would’ve chosen for him anyway, but technically he chose it for himself LOL
I’m curious, what is everyone else doing in regards to groom’s attire? Are you choosing what he wears, or allowing him to choose? Has anyone else told the groom he could wear whatever he wanted, then changed their mind when they saw what he liked?
