Navy Officer Dress Blues or Whites?

Private User, on February 4, 2014 at 1:10 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

We are having a June wedding and even though you are supposed to wear the whites, the groom can choose to wear the dress blues because it is not a Navy function. What do you think he should wear? I've already gotten my dress. It is ivory with a champagne underlay at the bottom. I've seen ivory with the dress whites and it looked fine--almost better than just white like some people think. I just love how iconoic the white uniform is like Officer and a Gentleman. I just can't decide. On the one hand I would stand out in my dress but on the other I just love the white uniform. My fiance is leaning towards the blues though... any opinions?

    Personally I like the blues MUCH better. The whites will look odd next to an ivory dress IMHO.

    IMO I think the blues are classic. But I also think a wedding is a perfect excuse to wear his whites.

    It's really his choice.

    Blues

    unless your white dress matches his uniform white exactly, otherwise one of you will look dirty (IMO).

    It's the grooms day as well let him pick which he would prefer to wear.

    Let him pick.

    I personally like the blues better when it comes to a wedding.
