xxbaddgurl83xx Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 My fiance's best friend is a woman and he wants to make her his best man (more like best woman). We are trying to determine what we should have her wear. My bridesmaids are wearing light blue dresses and the guys will probably be wearing black suits though we haven't quite decided on that yet. Should she wear a dress like my bridesmaids are wearing and match with the woman or should she perhaps wear a black dress and match with the men? Also should her dress be as fancy as the bridesmaid dresses or should it be more casual, in other words should she get her dress from the same bridal boutique that my girls are getting their dresses from or should she just go somewhere else such as a department store to buy her dress? Should I go shopping with her for her dress or should my fiance? I know this seems like a lot of qustions! Any advice will be helpful! Thanks!
blind_otter Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I don't think there is any etiquette involved in what the groomswoman would wear, I have read of the groomswoman wearing a tux, or a bridesmaid dress. I think a tux would be cool. That's just my opinion, though.
IfWishesWereHorses Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I think a simple black dress would be as appropriate as anything in this situation.
Author xxbaddgurl83xx Posted December 28, 2006 Author Posted December 28, 2006 I agree that a black dress will be nice. Should she go shopping with me and my bridesmaids and get the same style of dress as my bridesmaids but in black instead of light blue or should she just do her own thing?
Trialbyfire Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I've never heard of etiquette associated to this so go with either style of dress selection. Let your groomswoman get into the act to decide which one she prefers. Myself, I would love to be able to wear my Tux to a wedding. I have one that instead of pants has a very tapered ankle length skirt with a slit going up the front of one leg stopping about 5" above the knee. The jacket has the typical shawl collar with a muted sheen to the lapels, and a tie belt. It would be perfect for a groomswoman. If you're interested in the name of the designer, PM me and I'll go look for it.
