What should father of the bride wear to the wedding?

Brittany, on November 11, 2020 at 12:40 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
My fiancé just bought his suit and picked them out for the groomsmen. They are all navy. I’m just wondering what my dad should be wearing to the wedding. Is he supposed to match them so it doesn’t clash? Or is a black suit fine? Thanks Smiley smile)

    I just had this situation last weekend. My groom and groomsmen are in dark blue. I thought my dad would look good in navy, but my mom suggested dark charcoal (allowing him to shine as father of the bride). We found a great dark charcoal suit. Mom was right!

    I think that a black suit will be fine!

    He should wear whatever he is comfortable in.

    He can wear whatever he wants. I picked out my dad's outfit because he doesn't formal attire and he hates shopping so he left me in charge of his outfit.

    Anything he likes. Thr same formality as the bride and groom, or one step down. So a dressy black suit would do for groom in Tux or suit, bride in formal ballgown or sheath, or less formal gown. He is family
    not wedding party governed by B or G. Does not need to match anyone, but no reason he cannot if he chooses. Most of the night he is MOB escort, so some chose with that in mind.

    I think a black suit is totally fine!! The father of the bride doesn't need to match the bridal party in color or style - just in general formality!

    A navy or dark gray suit would also look great with the groomsmen!

    A black suit is fine. I would let him wear what he feels good in.

    A black suit is totally fine. My husband and his groomsmen all wore medium gray tuxes. His dad wore a black suit he already owns. My dad wore a light gray suit my mom found on sale (my dad didn't have a suit that fits him since he hadn't worn one since before his bariatric surgery). As long as he matches the formality of the event, the suit color doesn't matter.
