Wedding Party Wearing Jeans, Dress Shirts and Boots |
|
|
Would it be tacky if my wedding party wore blue jeans, a dress shirt and boots. While I am in my wedding dress and boots, my groom will be wearing blue jeans boots and a white pearl snap shirt?

Anyone who has been to a wedding with jeans, I would like to see pics or know where to get the jackets and shirts at. My man is a country fellow and same for his family. I want everyone to be comfy and not run off due to dressing up or not come due to nothing to wear.

it would be nice if the men wore tuxedo jackets and bolo ties. AND THAT'S A TEXAS TUXEDO!
i've been to high-society weddings and smaller as well. Quite acceptable, in Texas anyway.
GOOD LUCK!

I had my wedding in a park. My husband and his crew wore a nice pair of black jeans with a white button down and western vests and western ties that my mom sewed for the guys and black shoes or boots. It turned out great and still very classy. Also, my husband wore a black cowboy hat and he had a bolis (I think that is what it is called) for his tie. The guests got to wear what ever they wanted.
I think it is a good idea!

First of all, it is your wedding. Do as you please. I wore a white and silver western dress and heels and my husband wore black jeans, boots, and hat, and a white tuxedo shirt with a black cowboyish tie thing(forgot what they are called). It turned out great. I didn't have attendants but the one who gave me away dressed just like the groom and the pics look great. Have fun with it!

Love it! Make sure to stay to the side of dressy and not "costume-y." For our wedding my husband and his party wore kilts, but remained in the formal kilt attire so that it didn't look like we were trying to do a medieval themed wedding/costume party/etc. Do some research online to modern day weddings that have a western theme, but also look at older pictures from the pioneer and wagon driving days and see if anything the women wore strikes your fancy (hair styles, jewelry, perhaps even shirt style) and make their outfits really meaningful.

I would probably have my attendants wear denim skirts. The men in denim jeans. I would enjoy a wedding like you are planning. The traditional weddings are often too stiff. Ya'll have a blessed wedding day.

Just be sure to put a boot cleaner out front, and tell those cowpokes to use it! I think the hoedown is a great idea. Have you thought about making barbed wire wreaths and putting candles in the middle? They'd make cool centerpieces. If you're having a money tree, consider using a branch of sagebrush. Have a wonderful time!

Have you watched my big redneck wedding? They had an auction to buy stuff for their honeymoon.Some one else wore camouflage and honey brought this cute pink gun to shoot squirrels with. Neat in a way. At my reception I changed into white jeans and a nice sweater type shirt. Husband did too but blue jeans and we held it in my sister in laws basement, and it was blue like our wedding. It was really nice and not that expensive.
I had some of my in laws decorate my reception and gave them the colors and let them go for it still have some of the angel from the reception on my walls.

Just don't do something you may regret years from now when you look at the pictures. I almost had a Miami Vice themed wedding in the 80's and my fiance begged me to look into the future--that stopped me. I had an inexpenive and traditional wedding. If you use bales for seating, I think you are already locked into this theme. Also be aware that it not just your wedding-- it belongs to both families and you don't want to start the union with angry relatives.

My friend did the same thing. The guys wore new black jeans and cowboy boots and black tux jackets. They too did a western theme and it was really fun!

Do what you like. I think it is a terrific idea, I agree with the lady who said to let the guests know so they can dress appropriately. Have your reception hall decorated like an old barn where a square dance would be held. ---- My daughter believes in witchcraft type stuff. In, 2003, She got married in Las Vegas on Halloween just before midnight by Dracula, she and her husband were 'dressed appropriately' Their anniversary 10-31-03 which is 103-103, The house number on the house they had bought was 103.
Good luck, great idea.

I know someone who makes dresses for wedding parties, and someone had requested all black wedding attire for everyone. To some it may sound odd, but it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! If you want to do jeans, GO FOR IT! Do what suits YOU best, not anyone else. Heck, you have given me inspiration to do something non-traditional, if anyone ever asks me to marry them!

My brother-in-law just got married to the best 'Sister' I could ask for... their wedding was held at a softball field! She wore a 'White' softball jersey outfit and he wore 'Black' all of us got to wear whatever we wanted and it was the BEST wedding I have ever attended. Their theory was to make themselves comfortable so they could focus on eachother :)

Sounds great to me too. Be sure to let the guests know it's a blue jean, dressy top wedding .Some may want to come in a blue jean skirt which would be fitting too. I think all weddings should be like that, comfy and fun yet dressy with a real cute, fancy top.
Have fun

Whose wedding is it? That's right, it's yours. You do whatever you and your husband to be want. If the two of you like it and are happy with it, that's all that matters. Tacky, shacmacky I say. If anyone has the nerve to call it tacky, #1 they're probably jealous they're not creative enough and comfortable enough with themselves to try something similar and #2 they don't have to be there. It's your day (yours and his) and you are the only two people who really matter. Surround yourselves with those who love you, and they will be happy and enjoy themselves because you are happy! Best Wishes!

I've been to a wedding similar a it was wonderful.
I have a very smart daughter that says she is going to elope and have a big party later...for the wedding is about the committment between the two and not about getting stressed out about all the details...who needs stress on their wedding day...I agree with her...

Sounds classy, comfortable - and all about you and your hubby-to-be! I am sure your guests will be comfortable too - if they know ahead of time that it is more casual. Don't want them to feel uncomfortable by being overdressed.
Enjoy!

Jennifer, by all means do what makes you and your groom happy and it's certainly not tacky (at least in our part of the world) lol I helped a young lady from Tyler plan her's along this line last year and everyone so enjoyed themselves. The rehearsal dinner kinda set the mood and let the families meet each other in a comfortable, relaxed setting. She rented a local hall and we had it decked out with haybales, red checkered table clothes and catered a BBQ dinner that was wonderful. The wedding day was a sea of wranglers, boots and black stetson's (and I heard NO women complain, not even GrandMa). And with an abundance of roses in your area, you'd be surprised what you can do with tulle, bandana's and roses as far as decorations go. It was definately a memorable wedding in my book. Just remember to do what you want to do and don't worry what everyone else thinks!

Not tacky at all! And if someone says it is tacky, let them do what they want at their own wedding. =)
Congratulation !

Why not have a cowboy-western theme, you're from the state of TX.

Hey - just call it a cowboy wedding - or something like it & you will be making a fashion statement! I went to a very nice wedding like that & they had a BBQ & we all dressed up "Western" - It was great fun.

It's your wedding! You can do as you please. I am old but a serious maverick so I encourage getting away from the "norm" ... whatever that is.
Go for it and send some pics....And remember the ceremony isn't all that important but your love for each other and how long you stay together is.

I knew someone who had a small private church wedding with a white dress, just immediate family. She then had a reception the next day that was a HoeDown! It was in a barn, everyone was in country attire. The bride wore a white coyboy hat and a white Western skirt. They had gambling tables set up, a DJ playing music (mostly Country, but some other dance hits too), food, beer and line dancing.
She served up shots instead of champagne for the toast. Guests had a choice of Goldschlager (with the gold flakes in it) or whiskey. It was totally original and all the guests had a fabulous time.
If you are going to do this, make sure your locale is appropriate to casual attire. If you are going to be in a church and all your guests are dressed up for a traditional wedding, it might feel awkward. But if your guests are prepared, they are sure to have a wonderful time at YOUR wedding.

I don't think it would be tacky at all. It is your big day you need to make it fun for you and your soon to be husband. Don't worry about everyone else.
