How To Do A Mixed-Gender Wedding Party Like A Champ
Mixing up genders in bridal parties has become more normal than ever before. And we couldn’t be more excited! So, if you’re the bride wanting your best guy friend to stand at the altar with you, or you are a groom hoping your sister will stand on your side, now you can. It’s time to plan your wedding, with your rules...how you want it, so it’s perfect for you! But if you need a little help, we got you. Here’s how to do a mixed-gender bridal party the right way.
Bridesmaids and groomsmen age-old traditions no longer apply. Finally! We never understood why the groom wanted his sister in the wedding party; she had to be a bridesmaid and why the bride’s best friend had to be a groomsman. We have seen the wedding industry change over the past several years, and this is one 2021 wedding trend that we absolutely love. It took a long time to get here, and now it’s time to celebrate!
Cheers to Mixing Up Genders In Your Bridal Party
What better way to show your friends how much you care about them than by asking them to be part of your wedding? Having a co-ed bridal party will surely be a blast, but you must remember a few things. First, try not to make all of your events leading up to your wedding be all about the ladies. The same thing goes if your hubby has a Best Lady instead of a Best Man. It’s all about making all of your best friends feel comfortable together. Your “I Do” crew will definitely appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Best Tips On How To Do A Co-Ed Bridal Party Right
When you’re mixing things up at your wedding and pushing age-old traditions to the side, you have to make sure that you do it right. Sure! There will probably be some people who disagree with having gals on the groom’s side and guys on the bride’s side. But if you put some real thought into it and do it right, everyone will love it.
Ditch Old Fashioned Gender Roles
Back in the day, it seemed like every wedding was the same. You always knew what to expect. But now, with each couple putting their own spin on things, every wedding is a unique and unforgettable experience. So, YES! The Best Lady can give a toast to the groom, and your Man-of-Honor can help you get dressed, hold your bouquet, and even bustle your dress.
Avoid Bridal-Specific Terms
If your best guy friend is joining your best gals in your bridal party, try to eliminate using bridal-based terms. Instead, you want to make sure they feel welcome and part of all of the festivities. So, instead of the bridal suite, call it the getting ready room, and the bridal party can be wedding party. Co-Ed wedding parties are entertaining, and you’ll undoubtedly create memories to cherish a lifetime.
Simplify The Style
When you decide to have a gender-neutral wedding party, there’s no need to sway from your original vision for your wedding party’s attire!
If you love the idea of having your tribe in blush pink chiffon gowns? Do it! And have your “man of honor” wear a pink suit or complementary accessories, such as a blush tie and silk pocket square. Are you obsessed with mixing and matching printed gowns? Select a suit for the guys in your party that will stylize well to complement all ladies’ gowns. There are many neutral color suits available and floral print ties that would look fabulous! But you could also go bold and choose a mauve or olive tone. Just select a tone that looks great on him and that they like because you want them to be comfortable and confident in what they are wearing.
The fashion possibilities are endless, and the fun times will seem to never end. But just remember to not stress about it, don’t overthink it. Your wedding party will be amazing. Having a mixed-gender bridal party is the way to go!
