Wedding Party

Female Groomsmen

My fieancee is having his best female friend as a groomsmen. Can someone let me know what she will wear? The bridesmaids' dresses are black, but so are the tuxes. Does she wear the same dress as the braidesmaids or just any other random black dress? Any advise would be helpful if you have seen this done.

Thank you!! Smile

  • She can wear whatever you want her to. But letting her wear a black dress of her choosing is REALLY nice.

    I think she can do either. If she likes the dress your BMs are wearing, let her wear that. Or, let her pick her own, just tell her what length you want.

    We're doing this, my BMs are wearing navy the guys are wearing gray, Amanda will be wearing the BM dress in gray. (assuming we ask Amanda when the time is right)

  • usually same as the bridesmaids i would think. otherwise if u want her to match the men, she can wear a black dress w/ white accents.

  • I asked my bridesmaids to get black dresses with a silver accent, and asked the groomswoman to get a silver dress.  Apparently silver dresses are quite hard to find, because we both had a hell of a time finding her something; she ended up going with a dress with a silver bodice and a black skirt.  It wasn't quite what I had in mind, but she'd already bought it when she showed it to me, so I let it go.

    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
  • We have a female groomsman too, but she's wearing the same attire at the guys... (suit, vest only, no jacket).  Then again, she's a kind of butch lesbian, so maybe that's the difference... ;)
  • For my brother's wedding, they had two different colors incorporated. The bridesmaids wore purple dresses, the groomsmen wore tuxes with a green vest, and the female groom's attendants wore green dresses with a little black jacket.
  • The choice is yours, but you might want to let her choose from a list of options.

    We have a female usher. She is wearing the dress as the bridesmaids. I gave her a choice of color black, scarlet, or silver grey (the wedding colors are scarlet and grey -- Go Buckeyes!). She chose scarlet like the bridesmaids. I also offered to let her wear a tux with either pants or a skirt if she preferred.
