Father Of Groom - Bridal Suit?

2013_Bride_, 12 May, 2013 at 09:07 Posted on Planning 0 7

Hi,

Traditionally are you meant to put the father of the groom in a bridal party suit?

We are fully intending to but I just wanted to check that was actually quite normal?

Thanks

    It's not traditional but many people do it. Our suited men were Boy, best man, my brother, his BIL, my Dad and his Dad.

    We had both our dads in morning suits, plus the groom and best man. Our male usher wore a normal suit with the same tie as the other men plus a buttonhole, our female usher wore a dress to match the colour scheme and a buttonhole.

    Yes. If you're hiring suits for the brides father you should for the groom's father too, he's equally important. It's not all about the bride. Unless of course he doesn't want to. Neither of our Dads wore hired suits, it was their choice.

    Sorry, I'm going to tag on a question of my own on to this, I hope you don't mind.....

    How far before the wedding do you tend to organise mens suits?

    We're looking to hire them for groom, best man and usher but then we'd like to get ties for the dads and my bro in the same (or very similar) colour as the men's cravats to match.

    Thanks!
