did you have bridesmaids and groomsmen? ushers? what did they wear to the wedding? my bridesmaids wore floor length teal green dresses in satin - they had a bow at the back of the waist and their train could be pinned under the bow... the dresses were simple but elegant in that simplicity. they carried 3 long stemmed pink roses with baby breath and teal ribbons streamed from them. on their heads they had floral wreaths with ribbon streamers in the back. the groomsmen wore grey tux with white shirts under... I think their lapels had a pink rose the groomsmen also pulled duty as ushers the ring bearer wore a black tux the flower girl wore a mint green lacy dress, white gloves and a white hat.

The maid of honor had a floor length periwinkle dress sleevless empire waste style, it was absoutly beautiful. The bridesmaid had the same dress in yellow. Those were the colors of my wedding. I don't like every one in the same colors. The men in my wedding had black suits on and white shirts. They had periwinkle ties on. All had yellow bountineers.

I have 2 bridesmaid who wear a floor length gown which has the color of our motiff which is bluegreen. Apart from the bridesmaid, I have 3 pairs of secondary sponsors (male and female). They are the ones who represent the veil, cord and candle. All of the female entourage have their own bouquet of flowers. The men in the entourage wore the traditional Barong Tagalog with white undershirt and black pants. I was actually thinking of having them in suit but I don't think it will be a good idea since our wedding is in the morning and the reception is at noon. At that time the temperature is humid. It will be uncomfortable for them to wear suit.

that was good thinking keeping them comfortable for the wedding... don't need anyone passing out from being over dressed in the heat and humidity.

I am going to wear a red dress. We eloped, but we are going to have another cerimony. I am thinking of putting the bridesmaids in royal blue long dresses, and all the guys will wear black suits, my husband with a red tie, and the rest of his guys in blue ties.

Gee it took me five minutes to recall this. The bridesmaids wore simple short pink dresses and the maid of honor wore the same but floor length. My daughters friend got married this past month and she did not have any attendants. She had only close friends and family so I guess she didn't feel the need to single anyone out to stand with her. I really like the idea but I guess this works best at small weddings like hers.

Would it be funny to have a wedding where you bridesmaid wore tuxs and the men wore dresses, now that would so funny. But at my wedding the bridesmaid wore silver short dresses and the groomsmen wore black tux with white vest and silver bowtie

I have two kinds of dresses in my wedding day. At first, I would wear a western style wedding gown. Then I wore a traditional Chinese wedding dress. It's common here.

I didn't have any attendants. My parents refused to come and my father forbade any of my siblings to attend. It was just my husband's immediate family, the lady next door to them, who made my dress and my next door neighbours from when I was growing up. They were Mr & Mrs Cole and it was he who gave me away.

My two bridesmaids wore blue Samoan tatau patterned dresses, different material but with the same print and similar style. They did these on their own through their own seamstress as I was living in Samoa at the time and was going back to New Zealand for the wedding. The two boys wore the same suits as the Groom. Didn't really match but it was what my husband wanted and I was happy with that. The page boy also had the same suit as the Groom and the flower girl had the same material as mine but made into a simple dress by her Mom.

Your attendent dresses, sound just like mine except mine were in blue. I wanted a Christmas wedding and my mom told me forget it. LOL I wonder if she knew the marraige wasn't going to last? The guys wore black tux. When I got married the second time, my SIL was pregnant so she just wore the prettiest dress she had. Bob wore a grey tux, his first ever. I had an ivory tea length dress.
