My fiance and I are going to have two people of each gender on either side of the aisle, (so I'll have two girls and two guys, and so will he), because it just worked out that he has two close female friends and I have two close male cousins. We're hoping for a non-traditional wedding with a nod to tradition, so this is perfect for us.
We also decided that I would have the say on what the ladies wear. I had planned on putting them all in matching navy blue dresses, but decided that for their pocketbooks' and my sanity's sake that I'll just let them all chose their own dress as long as it's dark blue or navy and floor length. The guys will all be in matching grey suits.
One of my fiance's female attendants would prefer to wear a pantsuit to a dress. I want her to be comfortable, and I'm non-traditional enough that I'm considering letting her do it. I'm totally okay with a non-perfectly-matching bridal party as long as all the colors and everything work alright together, but I'm worried that having five people in suits and three people in dresses would make it look funny.
So my question: do you all think it would look okay to have her in a navy blue women's pant suit to match the rest of the ladies' navy dresses? She would still walk down the aisle arm-in-arm with a man in a grey suit.
Thanks!!
And PS, she's totally willing to wear the dress, but I'm a lot more worried about everyone having a good time than I am about exactly what everyone is wearing. The more casual and fun my wedding is, the better.
And my photographer is amazing so she'll make the photos look great no matter what!!!
