Parents Attire?

Trisha, on April 9, 2020 at 8:24 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10

Hey Everyone.

I'm Not Sure How My Father, Mother, And My FH's Mother Should Dress For Our Big Day. Do They Usually Match With The Color Scheme? Do They Choose Whatever They Want? I Don't Want To Dictate Them In Anyway But Also Don't Want Them Looking Too Crazy Or Something LOL. Our Colors Are Burgundy, Champagne, Blush & White. Thanks In Advance Smiley heart

    They should be able to choose their own attire. They don't have to match your decor.

    I'd say whatever they would like. My colors are burgundy and navy with a couple seconday colors. My dad will be wearing a navy suit to match the groom and groomsmen since he will be walking me down the aisle. Then my grandma and future in laws wanted to be somewhat matching so my grandma will be in one of my secondary colors most likely a light peach or taupe color and then FFIL is wearing navy pants and a white shirt while FMIL is wearing a navy dress. Wouldn't be my first pick to have her in navy as well but whatever makes her happy. I don't think they need to be forced into wearing something that will match but if they want to then why not Smiley smile

    My dad will be wearing a black tux, my FH and his groomsmen are in dark gray. My mom and I went shopping together to pick out her dress. She is wearing a light grey/ silver dress. The dress she initially wanted was a darker blue dress; the only reason I suggested (didn't demand) she pick the grey one was because my bridesmaids were wearing the exact same color. Any other color I was fine with.

    I asked the moms, grandmas to wear navy if they can do we can all match in photos. They loved the idea ❤️

    I've seen it done a different number of ways, but I told our parents to wear whatever they want. If they want to coordinate with the wedding party it's good for them to get a sense of your colors. My philosophy is the fewer decisions we have to make, the better!

    I wondered the same thing and have already had some feedback, which was nice. Parents should choose their own attire. Our colors are gray and steel blue, and our wedding is the in the fall. Its sounding like my mom is going with navy, my dad maybe a black suit, my MIL sounds like she's going with burgundy and I'm not sure about my FIL yet.

    Well, we won’t have any bridesmaids or groom men, so the only person I requested to wear anything specific was my mom. My dad passed away many years ago, so I felt it was important that we could take many complimentary photos together and plus I wanted to take some special shots by herself (she never got to be bride). Our colors are bright, tropical theme and she wanted to wear black or navy, which would have been ok. But I wanted her to look extra nice, so I convinced her to wear something colorful to match her corsage and she happily agreed. Maybe it helped that we bought her a new dress. As for FH’s parents, really didn’t say anything because his mom has weight issues. So I suggested If they could compliment the theme.
