What do I do about Military uniforms?

Thanks, I read another forum where the girl had 2 GM in military and she decided to have them wear their uniforms. I bring up points and think one way and then I think of something else and it pushes me the other way

I would have to agree - all or nothing - the wedding party will be all disjointed looking IMO - don't get me wrong I love to see uniforms (my FI is a police officer) - but I don't think if the rest of the wedding party is military that it would look right

thanks girls for your help! We have decided to have them wear the same attire as the rest of the bridal party. But since we're bring our photogs w/ us we're doing a photo shoot w/ them in their blues.

If we were having the wedding at home, or if the bridal party was more formal we would definitely have them wear their blues. I do disagree w/ you girls on all of the party being in military uniforms. i've seen several weddings including our GM's (the brother who is a marine) where there are only a couple of them in their uniforms and I think it looks REALLY nice!

Glad you found a solution that works for you!

I was going to say that it would depend on how much they wanted to wear their blues. From what I know of them, they would be miserably hot in the tropical climate, and I wouldn't want them to feel like they were going to pass out during the ceremony. But, if it was very sentimental to them, then I would be more than happy to accommodate. If they really didn't care, then I'd have them wear what everyone else was wearing.
