should the ushers in a wedding wear tuxes like the groomsmen and if so would they be any different?

Question

getting married in august, i need to know how the ushers should be dressed

Answer 1

There is no hard set rule on this.

My daughter inlaw decided that suits and ties would be acceptable and asked that they all be dark blue.

Ushers are not usually in many wedding pictures, so matching tuxes are not needed, but again all this is your choice.

It is your wedding, and that is all that matters. If your ushers are wanting to avoid the expense of a tux, with nothing to show for it after the wedding, then dark suits that they could wear for other occasions should be fine.

Another recent wedding asked the ushers to wear matching Kahki pants and polo shirts. At this partucluar wedding, the ushers were not the ones who seated the grandmothers and mothers, the groom performed that honor.

There's no set rule on this one but if having the ushers were the same tuxes as the groomsmen will get you a better deal, go ahead and have them wear them. However, if you just want to put them in dark suits, that's fine too. The last August wedding I planned, the two ushers (bride's brothers) wore dark suits and had boutonnieres while the groomsmen and best man wore tuxes like the groom. At the end of the day, it's your choice and it depends on what your/their budgets will allow.

Answer 3

I've seen one wedding where the ushers wore tuxes. At all the other weddings, the ushers just wore whatever suits they would have worn anyway. I think this is appropriate. Why ask them to spend the money on a tux when they're not doing much?

If you do have them wear tuxes, I would suggest having them wear a vest that is different from the groomsmen. For example, my wedding color was light green. The groomsmen wore green vests. The groom wore white, and the dads wore silver. I would have put the ushers in black vests (but ours just wore suits).

Answer 4

You can actually do it any way you want. There are no rules. It really depends on if you want them to look different or not. I want my ushers to look different and I also want my groom to be different so this is what I am doing. All the guys are going to be in black tuxedos. My groom will have a white tie and vest. Our groomsmen will have on pink ties and vests. And our ushers will be in black ties and vests. I want everyone to be distinguished. Oh yeah and I don't know what I am going to do about my dad yet. I think I will let him wear whatever he wants. Well Good Luck and Congratulations!!!

Answer 5

We're getting married at the twentieth of December. Our colours are black, silver and purple. (Quite very similar to yours). Our groomsmen also are being dressed similar to yours. For our two ushers, we are dressing them in a pleasant black get dressed blouse, black pants, black sneakers and a purple tie. They can be extraordinary from the groomsmen who can be dressed in black tuxes, silver vests, a silver tie and a purple rose. I feel placing them in a pleasant get dressed swimsuit, or get dressed blouse and pants with a red tie, or white tie on a black blouse might seem quite sharp. Remember, truly guys put on red :)

Answer 6

No, unless your groomsmen are doing it...
