Newbie - Outfit dilema

Rosco298, 21 December, 2012 at 09:41 Posted on Planning 0 3

Hello All

I am new to Hitched but have loved having a look arounf and reading topics. I have only been engaged for a few days and have done no planning. Well I've done lots in my head but nothing set in stone. I have a question for you all. My hubby to be wants to wear tails for the wedding but there is no way my Dad will wear tails. Would it look odd to have the groom, best man and ushers in tails and then the two Dad's in matching suits. I think we will go for grey tails so we could get nice grey suits which match or would that look really odd?

Many thanks

    Hi Rosco, firstly congratulations on being engaged. It's a brilliant feeling Smiley smile

    We are having the same problem with our Dad's. My H2B doesn't want to wear tails but does want to wear a slim fit suit. Our Dad's are both larger than my OH so they'll be wearing a variation of his suit in the same colour.

    I think Dad's need to be as comfortable as the groom as they'll be up and doing stuff all day too. When I spoke to my Dad about it he said that even though he knows he's important on the day he doesn't necessarily feel as though he is part of the bridal party and him and OH's Dad are more than happy to not be matching the ushers.

    I don't think it will look funny at all, as long as they tie in with the other men in some way?

    When my sister got married, my dad didnt want to wear tails so both he and my sister's father in law wore the exact same outfit but with the shorter jacket rather than the tails.

    I is quite common for the two dads to have differing suits and for many different reasons and it doesn't look odd in the photos so long as the dads are in a close matching colour but different suit,
    It can be an excuse to leave them off one of these shots below as I'm not sure that it works so well with ---er "older" Dads

    Thanks everyone. I think we'll go for two different but complimentary outfits.
