Robe for male bridesmaid??

Ariana, on December 22, 2017 at 6:47 PM Posted in Planning 0 17

I have a male bridesmaid, or Bridesman, as we're calling him. I want to get lavender colored satin robes for all my "girls" but with him, I'm stuck. He's said he will wear whatever I get, but I don't want him to hate it and feel uncomfortable in it. I can't seem to find a men's robe in that color ANYWHERE. (Go figure, it's a feminine color) Anyone know where I can find cheap men's robe? Or if I got a white cloth robe, could I possibly dye it?

I'm also open to other ideas on what I can do for him. I had thought about getting him a lavender button up shirt instead?

    I think a Button up shirt should suffice. And bridesmen is a good term.

    Or they can all wear whatever they want if its going to be that difficult. Or just a color that is available.

    I also have a boy in my bridal party! I wanted to do robes for my girls but found myself in the same predicament. We live in New England, so instead I’m getting flannels for everyone (don’t judge us, it gets cold up here! Lol) in our wedding colors and putting their first initial on the breast pocket.

    I saw pics from a friend from high school's wedding where she had a bridesman. She got him a matching colored t-shirt and I think it had the term "bridesman" on the back. I thought it was super cute to include him and he looked like he had tons of fun with the "getting ready" pictures.

    I think a white shirt and colored pants are cute if hes ok with wearing the color? You also don't want him to feel left out so I would personally get him something. I like the idea of flannel PJ's for everyone! Super cute ! Good luck!

    There are a number of etsy sellers who do custom robes for a good price, including men's robes. I bet you could get one made!

    I am having one as well! He’s my gentleman of honor instead of a maid of honor!

    i haven’t decided but considered getting him a shirt made with the term instead of the robe.

    Thanks everyone! I was hoping to see a picture somewhere of what people have done, I'm a visual person. I thought about getting him a robe in our other color (grey) but I don't want him to stand out too much. Same with the button up. But I figure if it's the same color, it would be fine. Thank you all!

    I'm disclosing this now. I found this off of Pinterest so if this is your IP or you own this photo I apologize, @OP requested visuals.

    They seem to have this brideman in a zip-up hoodie or track jacket. It's the same color as the 'maids robes so it does stick out. Just an idea for you!

    I think you should do this. Get the girls the lavender robes, and get your Bridesman a flannel or shirt with “Team Bridesman” on the back.

    What about a purple flannel? or purple robe? Are you sure he'd wear it?

    Girrrrrl get him a matching color in pajamas! Or maybe, have everyone in pajamas? So he’s not really singled out?
