Ring Bearer Outfit

Allison, on May 31, 2019 at 2:24 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
Hello all! I am in need of some help when it comes to ring bearer outfits. To get an understanding our wedding colors are peacock colors.

The groom is wearing mid/dark grey slacks, a long sleeve white shirt, same grey colored vest, and a navy long tie (to correspond with my navy shoes, jewelry, etc).

Groomsmen are wearing same pants and white shirt, cognac brown suspenders and shoes, and a bow tie (two blue, one green, one purple).

Now the following questions arise for what the ring bearers should wear...

1. Should they wear a similar grey to the rest of the guys or a light grey to stand out a little bit?
2. Should they wear suspenders and/or a bow tie?
3. If yes, what color should the suspenders or bow tie be? (Navy to match bride and groom, brown to match groomsmen)
4. Keep in mind these kids have a pretty wide age gap (one will be just shy of 2 and one will have just turned 6) so we have to get something that will be easy to find for both kids.

Thanks in advance!

Allie

    Also, bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dress correspond to the bow ties.

    When in doubt I think that the ring bearer and flower girl should match the bride and groom. Like mini me's.

    The groomsmen should match the bridesmaids because they are usually paired together.

    I am looking into renting from Men's Wearhouse that way all the tuxes will match. Anywhere you rent should have the same tux outfit in toddler size and boy's size.

    Since there is an age gap it also wouldn't be weird if the older boy wore suspenders and a bow tie and the younger one just had a bow tie. I'm trying to keep the kids in my wedding comfortable otherwise they may not make it down the aisle.

    I actually found my ring bearer’s suit at JCPenney. Whole pants, vest, shirt and tie for around $20 and it matches the groomspeople. The shop we are renting the tuxes from said they would have a kids one for $50 less, but I thought $150 was absolutely insane to pay for an 18 month old.

    Our ring bearer will have just turned three at the time of our wedding and he choose to have him dressed like a mini groom which means he will be in a tux.
