Ushers Attire

Taran, on May 7, 2020 at 2:10 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

Send help! I don't know what my ushers are supposed to wear. My bridal party is small with my sister as matron of honor and my fiance's brother as best man and the boys are wearing navy suits. From what I've read the usher should match the groomsmen, but our ushers are my brother in law and my fiance's little brother (he's 10). I don't want to ask him to wear a suit because if I was 10 I wouldn't want to. I order bowties for both of them in slate blue because that's our main wedding color. Should the outfits for my adult usher and kid usher match? Or just coordinate? Or does it not matter?

    Ushers who simply help people get to seats, or escort the mothers who are last to be seated before the processional begins, but are not also groomsmen, need not match anyone. As in your case, they are usually family, a d wear what a nicely dressed family guest would. Usually at least a sports coat or blazer even with a very casual wedding. A boy, not young man yet, should look nice, but not necessarily a suit. A vest and shirt , with or without a clip on tie, is great, and usually stays nicer than a plain shirt front.

    I let my ushers wear whatever they wanted. I've never been to a wedding where the ushers' attire matched the bridal party before

    I’ve never seen matching ushers attire! If anything you could give them color suggestions but wouldn’t be worried about them matching or buying new clothes to be an usher.

    Thanks so much for all the input! I think we're going to ask them to wear dark pants fo sure, but leave the rest up to them

    Unless the groomsmen are pulling double duty as ushers (many do), put them in regular suits
