Army Deu's??

My FH is in the canadian armed forces and one of his coworkers wore his uniform for his wedding and they didnt do anything special for it, as in they didn't try to match with him at all, and it was very nice! he stood out and there was no problem with it.

My FH was super against wearing his uniform for our wedding, he doesn't want the Navy to define his life. However I have been to other military weddings and I feel anything can go, he is the groom its ok if he stands out just like the bride will stand out. I think you can do whatever you'd like for bridesmaids but maybe have groomsmen wear grey or black?

Thanks ladies! Canadian DEU’s are some weird shade of dark green (I added a link to show you a wedding of someone in their Army DEU’s). Obviously not looking to match him, cause he’s the groom and he’s allowed to stand out. Groomsmen will all be in suits. A friend of mine suggested champagne colour to go. http://www.evetraetto.com/2013/06/30/danielle-cory-meaford-wedding/

I agree with Jennifer. It doesn't have to "match" just not clash. He is the groom... he can stand out. And it's not like people will think it is strange that he's wearing his formal uniform.

Honestly you can go with anything. you don't have to fully match the DEU's. except obviously you don't want an extreme clash either.

a friend's hubby was US marine. which is a navy jacket and white pants. red piping on jacket. she did a brown color for bridesmaid dresses (fall wedding/fall color flowers). looked great.

I second this as Tori's options sound reasonable and I also know noting about DEUs!

I know nothing about DEU's - and the internet shows multiple outfits when I search it... so.... if the colour of the uniform is:

Black - any colour goes!

Navy - still any colour but I would lean towards a red or another dark colour. No blush or corals.

Camo - well... if it's in December then red would work! lol otherwise maybe he wouldn't mind changing into a regular suit for the reception?

If it's not one of these colours - then google has been no help whatsoever....

As well, congrats on the engagement and welcome to the wedding wire community! Hopefully I helped a little but if not there are always other discussions that I may be able to in the future!
