Does the father of the bride/person giving away the bride wear the the same as the groomsmen?
My dad wore the same as all the groomsman and the groom. Looked really effective in photos. My father in law did too xx
My dad did
I wanted my dad too but he says he's wearing a different colour
My son gave me away so my son groom and best man all wore same it looked very nice x
My now husband, didn't want my dad too look like another groomsmen so both father's wore similar suits to the groomsmen but different tie and shirt so they stood out as different parts of the wedding party
My son us giving me away he's having the same suit as he rest but him and my partner having different button holes to the rest x
I’m not sure traditionally but been to weddings with and without! Think it’s personal preference! My dad and step dad wore their own suits, (both had suits they don’t get to wear often 😉) but they had the same button holes as the groomsmen. Our son wore the same as the groomsmen though and he loved it, looked so cool when they had their photos!
My brother gave me away and he wore the same as my husband and his best man he looked like he belonged and the photos look brill
My dad & father in law wore the same suits & waistcoats but we had them with a different cravat. The waistcoats were all silver, dads had silver cravats, groom & best men had purple cravats & my brides-man had a teal cravat to match my maid of honours dress
Both my lads are giving me away. They are not having same as my h2b
not at all!
My mum's giving me away and she is wearing a grey suit and blue shirt, the groomsmen are wearing black suits and white shirts with blue ties and waistcoats
My dad and FIL wore the same suits as each other, and they had the same cravats and pocket squares as the best men ect
No one in my wedding had matching apart from two of the younger bridesmaids x
We're hoping for the groom to be in a 3 piece with groomsmen including fathers in 2 piece suits x
My dad, Groom, best man and my 3 sons all will match
My dad and my husband wore different suits. My dad had to look different because he walked me in and my husband had to stand out from my dad and his ushers
A wedding is personal, you can do it exactly as you please, there are no rules. Wear a banana costume if you like, it’s your day.
My groom is in purple with tie that matches bestmans blue suit, he's wearing a purple tie to match grooms suit (their choice of colours). My dad will be in charcoal suit with purple waist coat and blue tie... As of yet I've no idea what the bridesmaids and flowergirl is wearing....
Nope. My dad wore a suit and the best man wore jeans, shirt and a leather jacket. But we had a rock/Punk wedding. Hubby wore a kilt and leather jacket and I wore a 50s tea dress with a cream pleather jacket, with a heart shape in red, stick-on crystals on the back.
My dad matched the groomsmen (the groom had a different waist coat)
Traditionally yes but do what you want!
We had a bit of diversity - my fella had single double-breasted black waistcoat, 2 best men single-breasted black waistcoats... dads and groomsmen had silver waistcoats. Looked kinda pretty :-)
I'm not having any groomsmen and my dad is taking me to church on the bike so in leathers other wise he would be in a different suit as I think father is sliglty more important so I would want him to stand out xx
My dad is giving me away and is wearing same suits as my h2b and his groomsmen
My dad wore a different suit but that was his own choice. Your wedding, your way, there's no set rules
