Two brides

Cit, on November 26, 2019 at 7:56 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 14
So basically I am a trans non-bianary gay person. I have a female body type and identity as non-gender. I’m marrying the most beautiful woman in the world and I was thinking, how are they going to tell us apart if we both wear dresses? Then I thought I would just wear a tux then I realized that people would think I’m a guy, if I had to be guy or girl and couldn’t be non-bianary I would chose girl so I didn’t want that. Then I tried to think of like mix things the i came up with a good one then I started wanting to wear a really nice long dress. So I had an idea, our theme is black while and pastels, so what if she wore a white dress and I wore a black one? Would this look bad?

    Congrats on the upcoming wedding!

    I think at the end of the day you should wear whatever you're comfortable with!

    I think the black dress would fit with your theme so try on some dresses and see how you feel.

    A more gender non-conforming idea may be to wear a tux jacket with a ball skirt or even a traditional pant suit/tux with a blouse or high heels.

    The options are endless!

    I can go with that theme if that's what you want to do but I've seen pictures of many same-sex partner weddings and both men wear a suit and both women wear a dress. If you really want to wear a dress why don't you?

    I've seen some really awesome Bridal paint suits. Some are lacy and some are not. Maybe an option?

    You can pick different, but complimentary styles of dresses. PP's mentioned it also, but you can do a really nice pant suit. I also think the different colored dresses is amazing, but I imagine you and your fiancee don't have the exact same style, so even if you both wear white dresses, you'll be able to tell you both apart by hair, dress, makeup, etc. Try everything on and see what you prefer!

    I think the black and white idea sounds nice. However, I also think you should wear whatever you would like. If you both want to wear white, wear white. I can't imagine that a group of your and your fiance's nearest and dearest wouldn't be able to tell the two of you apart. Granted, I'm basing this on the assumption you're not identical twins.

    We both had dresses. They were the same color, but slightly different styles. But really, you can do whatever you want.

    A black dress sounds like a great idea! However why do you think people wouldn’t be able to tell you apart if you both wore white dresses? You’d theoretically get different dresses and I assume you don’t look that much alike lol

    I don’t think it would look bad, different for sure but can’t go wrong with the perfect black and white duo. I personally have seeing beautiful two bride weddings and not one outshines the other and you can tell them apart. You can talk about styles if you prefer different or same or even shop together. You’ll both most likely have different hair styles, veils, make up. I think you can do what pleases you.

    A black dress with your bride’s white dress would look fabulous! But even if you both wear the same color dress why couldn’t guests tell you apart? You don’t look like twins, right? You’re still two individuals. I guess I’m not understanding the concern.

    This is a your day! Wear the thing that makes you feel the best! My wife chose to wear pants but I would have been totally cool with her rocking a dress if she wanted! I personally think the white and black dress idea is beautiful but again, this is all about you and your fiancé. I promise, when your day arrives this will all seem so trivial. You will be so preoccupied with your happiness and your new bride, you won’t even remember other people were there! Good luck!

    Why wouldn’t your guests (the people who know each of you) be able to tell you apart if you both wore white? Your faces will be showing, right?

    You could rock a black dress, a white dress, a pantsuit - whatever makes you comfy and feel awesome - you're getting married wear something that makes you happy Smiley smile

    I love the idea a PP mentioned about the white/lace suit with heels but I’ve seen weddings where both brides wore gowns and looked absolutely beautiful! It’s your day! You should only wear what makes you feel like the most radiant and happiest person on earth for your special day ❤️

    The black and white dresses could be an amazing look, but I don't think people will have a hard time telling you both apart. You could also wear a jumpsuit for a feminine look without a dress. While my wife wore a suit for our wedding, I have seen plenty of my friends both get married in dresses. Wear what makes you feel most comfortable. Not all dresses look alike, and certainly not all brides (if you're choosing to use that term). Good luck and happy planning.
