Witnesses attire?

Hi everyone!! Anyone who had witnesses that actually weren’t in the bridal or groomsmen party how did you include them? Or is that them already included anyway?

I had an idea of having the girls in matching dresses to blend in with the bridesmaids, not the same colour though. The only difference is they wouldn’t be with me on the morning of the wedding? They would actually be with my fiancés family and potentially my fiancé depending on where he stays, Or is this a silly idea? Should we just ask them to be a witness and leave it at that.
Thank you for reading. Open to ideas. Not too sure if I am overthinking it or not.

Witnesses are not usually given anything special to wear unless they are also in the bridal party (e.g. best man, MOH). If you wanted to mark them out in some way, you could always provide a buttonhole/corsage, but I'd probably just leave it.
If you do decide you want them in coordinating dresses, I'd check with them first, as I'm pretty sure they will be expecting to be able to turn up in whatever they deem to be wedding appropriate.

Our witnesses are my FH's groomsman and my brother. I've got everyone (FH, best man, groomsman, and my brother) a buttonhole so they all link together, but otherwise my brother will be wearing whatever he wants. The other three will be wearing the family tartan in one way or another (two in kilts, one with a tie) so they are all linked too, but not with my brother.
I decided I liked the idea, but I'm not sure how common it is!

Thank you for your comments both. I would like them to wear matching dresses so once we have asked them to be our witnesses and they accept I’ll ask their opinion and if they don’t want to that’s also absolutely fine but atleast I know I’ve asked!
