Colour for best man's wife?

View quoted message

In that case, I would do a color that is complimentary but not the same, that way there's a distinction.

The MOH is single so, no. The BM's wife was really excited about being included and asked me what I wanted her to wear, so I was just wondering what colour would be appropriate to tell her.

That's what I thought as well, it could definitely come across as a bit bridezilla-ish.

Will you do the same with the MOH's partner? I guess if I was a Best man's guest I would not want to make an investment on a dress for a wedding I'm not part of officially.

I agree that if she isn’t in the wedding you don’t really get a say. If you are worried about what colour she will be wearing maybe have her less involved in things like the pictures and that?

You still have time, but maybe sometime in the near future you can approach her and ask if she’d like to coordinate with the rest of the bridal party? If she does, you can tell her the colours of your bridal party, but if she doesn’t I would not force her or insist further.

Walking out with the best man and sitting at the honour table doesn't, with traditional etiquette, give you any say in what she wears. As Brittany says, the most you can say is 'these are the wedding colours', but even that is in poor taste, etiquette wise. Anything more and you cross into bridezilla territory.

I agree with the others. The most you can say to her is, "these are the wedding colours", and kindly suggest that if she wants to coordinate, X colour or X colour would be best. But you can not tell her what to wear...

Hopefully she'd just want to match her husband a little, so maybe she'll match his colours which would be fine. But again, it's her choice.

She will be walking out of the ceremony and into the reception with the best man, will be part of the pictures, and will be seated at our honour table. I guess this is a more traditional way of including maid of honour/best man's partners in the wedding party.

I think the tribe has spoken If she isn't in the wedding party then she can wear whatever colour she would like to (except white - unless you are okay with that).

..........

Why would you tell her what to wear unless she is a bridesmaid?

Part of the wedding party, same colour as Bridesmaid.

A guest to the wedding, let her wear what she wants.

If she’s not in the wedding party, normally you don’t have any say in her outfit.
