What should everyone wear!?!?

Kristen, on June 10, 2022 at 11:22 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

Hi everyone! I'm looking for ideas about what everyone in our wedding photos should wear. I don't want to tell everyone exactly what to wear but, friends and family keep asking me because they just want to make sure I'll be happy with how our photos come out.

These are our wedding colors; I love the pairing of dark green with champagne, and because green is my fiancé's favorite color, I wanted to include my favorite color which is orange. Since our wedding is outside in early summer, I liked the idea of adding orange and yellow to break up some of the greenery (grass, leaves, etc.).

My ideas are, Bridesmaids and flower girls wear champagne, groomsmen wear dark green shirts with black pants. My fiancé wants to wear black with a green tie. But the people who I'm not sure for include my mom and mother-in-law, ring bearer, father, father-in-law, etc.. So I would love to hear ideas!

I'm not sure if my colors will actually even look good together, I'm kind of just winging it

    Love the green and champagne together! Your parents and in-laws can wear whatever they want. You can let them know the colors and that you want them to coordinate that should be fine. I think that might be the easiest because like you said you don’t want to tell them what to wear. As far as the ring bearer, they can wear the same as the groomsmen if you wish or even the same as your fiancé.

    Love the color palette! Those colors will definitely look good together, it's a nice earthy and sunny vibe! I agree that showing them the color palette and letting them choose what to wear would probably be the best option.

    My colors are dark coral light coral grey and both gold and silver.

    I asked my family (immediate family only) to wear light coral my FH family to wear silver and my GM to wear grey with dark coral accessories. my BM are wearing dark coral with silver accessories. my decor will have both coral grey and gold. my ring bearer matches my GM except with no vest. My FH is in black and grey to stand out.. so since you are using Orange and Yellow i would ask your family to wear orange since it pairs well with your BM (also it's your favorite color) and his family to wear yellow since it would pair well with the green and based on where people will be standing in pictures.

    Asking guests to wear a specific color palette is seen as overstepping and turning them into photo props. Decide on a formality (casual, semi formal, black tie) and let them pick their clothes from that.

    I understand not to overstep, but my post is indicating a specific response to particular guests who have asked me to tell them. I'm simply seeking a vision of the colors from someone else to help me complete my own vision, and therefore I can provide an answer to those who asked.

    I would think about their skin tones and what colors they look best in before asking them to wear something that might clash. For example some people look amazing in yellow, and others look extremely washed out. Same goes for dark colors like navy. Good luck!
