Best man is groom's sister

What would the best man wear if they are the groom's sister?
Bridesmaid dress?
Black to match the tux?
Or dress of choice in bridesmaid color?

Re: Best man is groom's sister

  • I would ask him what he wants to wear. For our wedding, the BM wore the same tux as the other GM. My H, however, wore a slightly different shirt and tie to match my dress.
  • I would ask he but from what i heard they usually wear the BM dress's it up to y'all

  • I would ask your FI if he had anything particular in mind first.  I have seen pics, though, where any girls on the groom's side wore the bridesmaids' dress, but in black.  One pic I saw had this but the black dresses had a sash in the color of the BM dresses.  (To coordinate with the groomsmen having colored vests/ties with their black suits.)  It's really all up to you.  You could also ask FI's sister what she'd be most comfortable wearing, especially if you and FI don't have your heart set on a particular look already.

  • I'd ask Fi's sister what she'd like to do. Maybe she wants to blend more- and so she'd wear the BM color or maybe she's ok standing out a bit and wearing black! I think either way it'll be great.
  • You could always do what Carrie did in SATC2, at Stanford and Anthony's wedding!!

  • There aren't really any rules to it, it's whatever works for everyone.  Since my bridesmaids were in black with silver accents, we asked the groomswoman to pick a silver dress (the dress she went with was a little more black than silver, but since she had already bought the dress, I didn't push it).
    This is a neglected planning bio.
    This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    No rules for this one.  When I was the best woman in a wedding, I wore a navy blue evening gown with some detail beading.  The MOH wore a royal blue satin gown.

  • We're having a best woman and she's wearing the same dress as the MOH
