What Should Close Family Wear?

Mrs. J Robinson, on July 29, 2018 at 11:05 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

Just curious as to what other people have done as far as attire for family? I will be in a blush dress, my bridesmaids are going to be in long burgundy dresses and my FH groomsmen will be in navy blue. Also both parties with incorporate gold in their overall look (women will have gold shoes and jewelry and the men will have either a gold tie or pocket square. So where we’re stuck is we don’t know what our close Family should wear. I don’t have a mom or dad so my side of the family is my grandmother, uncle, brother, and aunt. My FH side of the family is his mom, dad, aunt, and two girl cousins.




So I figure all the men will wear navy blue tuxes, and I’m fine with that...but what color should the women be? Not sure what they would wear because we don’t want them to look similar to my bridesmaids? I know it’s not necessary, but we would like them to at least compliment our colors as well. Any thoughts? Thanks guys!

    Maybe Champagne? Since gold is an accent color?

    Agree with pp. Don’t tell them what to wear.

    When I said “we would like them to at least compliment our colors” I mean that was a conversation between me, the aunt, his mom and his cousins. They were the ones who asked if they could be apart of the day since they are helping every way they can in this wedding planning. So my FH and I aren’t telling them what to wear, but they are asking what colors they can wear to compliment our colors and our day. I just need help figuring out what color to wear

    Just tell them what the wedding colors are and let them decide how to coordinate or not.

    Maybe blue dresses as well. My close family decided they were all going to wear grey to represent me and my FH's aide is going to wear blue for him

    My colors are navy and blush, my FH will be in an ivory shirt with a blush tie and black slacks, my girls will be in navy dresses, the guys will be in ivory shirts navy ties and black slacks. My grandpa, step dad and FFIL will be in navy shirts blush ties and black slacks, my 2 brothers, as well as FH cousin will be in blush shirts navy tie and black slacks. The woman I trusted to match the guys so I’m not worried. And everyone I asked to wear Specific things are involved in the wedding and in pictures

    That’s cute! I was planning on using this as a default if I couldn’t decide on anything else
