Maid of honor does not wear dresses

Michelle, on August 7, 2020 at 9:19 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21
Hello! My sister is my maid of honor but she does not wear dresses so I'm having a hard time figuring out her outfit for the wedding. Im worried if she wears a suit we will look like a married couple in the bridesmaid pictures! Has anyone else been in this situation? Anyone have outfit ideas that are not too feminine?

    How about a jumpsuit? I’ve seen some really cute ones that aren't super feminine.

    Have you asked her if she would feel comfortable in a jumpsuit?

    Yes, she doesn't like them.

    I think a suit would be fine! I had a bridesman and he was obviously in another outfit than the girls and it doesn’t look that terribly out of place

    Was the suit the same one that the groomsmen wore?

    It was! The only difference was the tie colors. The groomsmen were in green ties and the bridesman was a pink tie. The bridesmaids wore pink dresses

    I married another woman, my bridesmaid wore a suit, and people still knew who I was marrying. It will probably be even more obvious since she’s your sister.

    A dressy top and slacks is feminine for any other occasion. She wouldn't be mistaken for a groomsman, and not everyone who doesn't like dresses is comfortable in a suit.

    You could also ask her what she is comfortable in for a special occasion.

    Personal opinion- suits on bridesmaids look fierce!

    My sister is hella gay 😂 her words not mine! She does not like dress at all. We compromised by letting her pick her own dress, just had to be the right length color and fabric. Then after our ceremony and formal photos she is going to change into something she is more comfortable in

    Yes mine too lol. That's a great idea! I'll run it by her. I like the jumpsuit ideas but I personally never wear them because of how inconvenient it is to use the restroom so maybe it would work if she changes for the reception!

    I definitely gave mine the option to wear a suit that matched the bridesmaids colors but it would have been way more expensive then the dress!
