Wedding Party Colors

Also the ring bearer!

I would discuss men w the husband's. Maybe blush for the flower girl and for the.moh a different dress.

View Quoted Comment Oh Mr. Emerald is adamant he is not wearing pink but does not care what the other guys are wearing. I was thinking maybe white vest with a green bow tie for the mister and the GM possibly wear pink bow ties. But I honestly don’t know. This is tougher than I thought. I wish there was a way to visualize the wedding party colors!

I kinda like the look of this for GM!

Mothers and fathers choose their own clothing. Bride and groom only choose ceremony clothes for their attendants. It is considered quite disrespectful for the bride to chose for them as they are adults, and family not attendants. If father is escorting the bride, often he chooses to wear mostly the same as the Groom or GM, but sometimes the father wants something distinctly different. As long as he chooses something of the right formality, it is fine. Many fathers consider that after the five minute walk, they are escorting their wife or SO for the evening, and might want a suit instead of a tux, or long tie not bow tie, or a coordinating color, perhaps grey if others are in navy or black. In my experience ( not etiquette) many Dads are resistant to wearing any wedding party colors for ties, pocket squares, vests, if they are pink, coral, or colors they do not usually wear. They choose instead accessories they would usually use to match their own suit . And to buy a very dressy new suit of their own, no rentals. Dad is the parent. He gets to make the decision. ... Moms decide for themselves, any flattering style or color. Usually they avoid the BM color, though there is no rule. Unless the flower girl is wearing the same dress as BM in a child's cut, usually expensive, bride indicates the general type and color to the mother of the child, who purchases one within her price range, usually in the last 2 months so they do not grow out of it. Same with any ring bearer or page.

Parents choose their own colors, but if yours are anything like my mom they need a little help. I picked out a beautiful champagne flowy suit for my mom and it was between that and a champagne colored dress.

My FFIL is actually wearing a light blue blazer (similar to my FHs) on our wedding day. - I tried to tell my FILs that suit was really not required as it's beach chic and we don't want them sweating. LOL... My FMIL insisted because of the pictures. Oh well....

I'd put the flowergirl in a blush or white dress or even a very pale shade of green to match the BMs.

Every wedding is different but I would let the hubby choose what colors he wants. I am only having a minimony and for my my color scheme is burgundy and peach and my MOH will have a burgundy dress but I let my fh choose the color suit he wants.

The parents should get to pick whatever they want to wear as they are not part of the wedding party. As for your fiance and the groomsmen, I would have them wear green to match the bridesmaids especially since your fiance doesn't want to wear pink. Our ring bearer wore a mini version of what my husband wore and he looked so cute. Our flower girls wore white dresses with a red sash to match the bridesmaids dresses. You could have them wear the blush to incorporate blush into your wedding colors.

Those are very cute dresses!

If you're set on the bridesmaids wearing emerald, my suggestion won't help, but...


My husband wore/is wearing (covid wedding) an emerald tuxedo. The groomsmen will be wearing grey suits with emerald green ties. You could do that, or you could have them all in green tuxes and have the groomsmen wear blush ties and the groom wear a different tie. It probably wouldn't make sense to have the bridesmaids wearing emerald if groom/groomsmen were, but you could put them in blush.

I also have bridesmen, and they're wearing blue suits, so we told my dad to get the blue suit, his dad to get the grey one, and we're going to buy them ties (colors TBD). For the mothers, we said they could choose any long dress that wasn't white, grey, green, or dark blue. My mom wore gold to our miniwedding, his wore dark purple. I don't know that you'll be able to find an emerald green tuxedo/suit for your ring bearer, but depending on how old he is, it could be cute to have him just wear dress pants, a button down, and a bow tie. The flower girl usually wears something wedding dress like.

*If you're planning to wear blush, you can put the bridesmaids in white.*

Hmm interesting - both mothers have specifically asked me what to wear 😂 so I helped them out a little bit and found dresses I thought would be flattering but yet modest for them - I put them into a Pinterest for them to look at. Just need to shopping and try on things and find something they feel beautiful in. I didn’t know if there were colors that would accent the dark green and pink well since we will be getting family pictures done as well.


Also interesting that you let your guys choose the color for the guys. Maybe I’ll try that method and see what he thinks but he typically looks to me to help pick out what to wear for parties and formal events.😂 I do know that he wants a charcoal suit which I am on board with!

View Quoted Comment I do appreciate your comments! I actually initially was going to do BM in blush dresses but I feel like they are so over done. So hence the dark green dresses so that it can be a little different! I think that the FG and RB will mimic both bride/groom - white dress with similarities to mine. I do love the idea of a dark green suit for the RB and groom. Will check into that!

Daughter's colors were dark hunter green, with soft blush pink, and champagne accents. Her wedding gown was ivory over pale gold (basically, a soft, glowy ivory). Her BMs wore Azazie Dark Green dresses. The G and GM wore dark gray suits, white shirts and ties that matched the BM dresses. The FGs wore ivory dresses with champagne colored sashes and the RBs wore gray suits & green ties. The dads both chose black suits. My MOB dress was pale pink (more for sentimental reasons than for anything else) and the MOG chose a dark raspberry dress. The flowers were various shades of ivory, champagne, and pale pink roses and hydrangea, with eucalyptus and astilbe for fillers. Overall, it was beautiful. Their venue was mostly outdoors, so the greens and soft ivories and pinks went well with the surroundings.

View Quoted Comment Silvery or pearly grey colors, and deep blues and wine red colors with no brown overtone ( not maroon or burgundy) , like cranberry or plum wine, pinkish or blueish undertones, really set off soft picks and deep or dark greens. If mom's want suggestions, point them away from anything with yellow, brown, or orangey colors, no earthtones.
