Military Wedding Theme Dress

Posted on 30. Jun, 2010 by in Themes

As your groom will look striking in his uniform, you can afford to have a dress with lots of sparkle and flare!

If you really want a stunning effect, wear a red gown, coordinating with a red, white, and blue theme.

Or for a more subdued hint of color, find a dress with a touch of red or blue. Or purchase a white gown and add your own ribbon!

If you are going very formal, consider simply stated elegance with sparkle. Beautiful!

Red or blue gowns are stunning colors for your attendants to wear.

Accent your gowns by wearing white pearls or diamonds. Wear a sparkling tiara or decorated barrettes in your hair. If you wear a tiara, make sure you provide your bridesmaids with jeweled hair pins. If your dress coordinates well with a veil, wear a long, flowing one.

Obviously, your groom will wear his uniform, so you shouldn’t have to worry about a tux for him. If the groomsmen are in the military, they can wear their uniforms, as well. If some are in the service and some aren’t, you can either have a mix of tuxedos and uniforms or have all the groomsmen in tuxes. Have them wear navy blue or black tuxes.

The uniformed groomsmen can wear their white gloves. However, the best man and your groom should not wear their gloves as they will be holding your ring.

A boutonniere should never be worn with a uniform. Service men wear their military decorations instead.

Remember: If the groom wears his sword or saber, you will stand on his right side (opposite of the traditional), as he wears his sword on his left.
