I am getting married in June 2007. My dress is ivory and my fiance's vest is going to be ivory. My MOH's dress is lilac as is the Best man's vest. My BM's dresses are celadon as is the Groomsman's vests.
My question is: I want my Dad's vest to match everyone elses. What color should he wear....ivory? I didn't really want him to match the wedding party.....or my fiance' as far as color goes. My wedding planner is throwing in some yellows and pinks in the flowers to give it more color. Should I get him and our pastor to match....maybe throw in a yellow or pink vest too? Thanks for your help!!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I know I shouldn't really bother myself with something silly like this, but it means a lot to me for my day to be near perfection. My Dad would NOT mind wearing pink if I asked him to....he knows it is my day, but I guess that would be pushing the "too many colors" thing. I like the black vest and tie idea though. Thanks for all the help!

Since you seem to have TWO specific colors, why don't you put your dad is an all back tux, with black vest but have his tie be the Celadon color, so he still stands out from the groomsmen and bestman, but he is still in the same color scheme. That is what I am doing, and I think its going to look really nice. Good Luck.

Ask your dad what he prefers and let him choose from celadon, lilac, or even black with an ivory shirt underneath. The pictures will look great and your dad will look dignified in a black vest against all of the pastels. Do not put him in a yellow or pink vest, it doesn't make any sense because then he is not matching anyone and he is in a silly vest.

What about just have your dad wear a simple, black tux, w/o a vest, or have him wear a black vest/tie. He doesn't have to be all matchy-matchy with the rest of the wedding party, you know. I've never heard of a bride dictating to the PASTOR what he should wear either. You sound dangerously close to a BRIDEZILLA!!!!
Sweetie, you're going to drive yourself crazy worrying about stuff like this, honestly NO ONE at the wedding will even notice stuff like this except you, and on your wedding day, hopefully YOU won't even notice it. Please remember that your wedding is one day, however your marriage is for a lifetime. Ask yourself during the planning process if the issue you're stressing out over will matter 2 weeks after the wedding is over with, and is it worth upsetting yourself (and probably others around you as well) over? Best of luck to you!

You are going to go insane with all of those details that noone will even take notice. The Father of the bride is not on the bride's nor groom party, therefore, he doesn't need to match anyone.
If tthe WP is throwing some yellows and pinks, let them be in his boutonier.
By all means, don't make him wear a pink vest for Pete's sake.
Good luck
PS/ You cannot tell the the pastor to play dress up for you! Are you for real???

Okay, I think I understand. I'd have groom's parents in celadon, and your parents in lilac. The preacher should wear black and not match anyone. (Although since you're going with ivory, his shirt should be ivory and not white).

let him match the groomsmen ,,,,,,,,that way he isn't taking away from you and the groom in ivory ......nor will he take away from the best man and maid of honor with the lilac......to many colors will ake people lose focus on you dress because they will be thinking about how the colors go together and why you pick them..........

I agree with Blunt. Let your dad wear something that he's comfortable in. He isn't part of the wedding party, and he's your dad, for crying out loud--let him choose his own clothes! Trust me, he will thank you for it.
