Father of the bride suit help

We are asking our Father's to wear the same hired morning suit as the rest of the Ushers.

H2B will force his Father into it if necessary!!

My understanding was that the FOB always wore a coordinating suit (especially if he's giving the Bride away) because he's part of the Wedding Party, but I might be wrong

xx

I don't think the brides father needs to wear the same suit as the groom and his party. What are the men's hire suits like compared to dads? Presumably not morning suits?

The groom best man and groomsmen generally have photos taken together before the wedding whereas your father will be with you and have his photo taken with you.

Unless it's morning suits etc I wouldn't worry and just get him a buttonhole that ties him in. It will be fine. And less stress.

No not morning suits, my htb is quite petiti so tails wouldn't suit, he's in navy with navy waistcoat and a red tie, my dad wants to wear his cream suit I think, he will have the same buttonhole as the others, X

Thank you, just want the day to be perfect, think I'm worrying to much about what everyone else will think x

A cream suit sounds lovely and would look good with navy. A red tie would also look good too, especially is the buttonholes were the same colour. I really don't think he'll stick out

My OH is trying to decide if he, the best man, his son, my son and my nephew should all match, but I'm not bothered. Especially as my nephew wants to wear a burgundy suit lol.

Just remember that this is your and oh day and other people's opinions about how it should look or what should be done don't matter. This is your wedding not someone elses. It's more and more common now that bridesmaid dresses aren't all the same so there is no reason why the men should all be the same. After all mob and mog won't be wearing the same will they?

Thank you, I've only posted twice on her and have always felt better after talking to you ladies

Thank you, Yeh My son will definitely match my htb and best man, it's all so confusing what you should and shouldn't do lol

I'm so glad you posted this question as I've been wondering about it myself. I assumed that father of the bride and possibly also father of the groom wore matching suits as the groom and best man and ushers. However my mum us adamant that I'm wrong and the fathers don't wear matching. So now I'm confused! I would like them to match but it would be more expensive as would be more suits to buy. And I think my mum is a bit offended that I want my dad to be part of the wedding party as they are separated and there's still hard feelings about her bringing me up on her own. So complicated! I'm not bothered either way really just want everyone to be happy/comfortable.

My mum is the same, my mum and dad split a long time ok but my mum still has bad feelings towards my dad, it's hard isn't it trying to keep everyone happy, but agree with the other comments at the end of the day it's your day, I think I'll go with the flow as I do want my dad to be comfortable, tbh my mum wouldn't be happier if he wasn't there at all lol, x
