arm sling for wedding

My Daughter's Wedding, on September 14, 2016 at 6:52 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 3

Unfortunately it looks like the groom will be in an arm sling for the wedding. He has had 4 surgeries to date since injury beginning of this year. Does anyone have any clue where to get a dressy arm sling?

    I'm not sure how dressy you're going to find - but if you google "dressy arm sling" there are a ton of custom slings that are for sale - you can get one that matches your decor, or a black one to blend in.

    As a therapist - my recommendation is to make sure it stands out enough from whatever he's wearing people notice it - and that he wears it on the outside of his coat/jacket whatever he's wearing on the outside. Your family and friends will be excited - and want to hug him, and you want to make sure they have the visual reminder that he's not totally healthy enough to be hugged, have his shoulder grabbed, anything like that.

    Oh no! I hope he has a speedy recovery. Maybe he can wear it inside his suit/tux jacket (if he's wearing one).

    Would he be allowed to take it off just for pictures?

    ETA: @linds makes an excellent point about the sling being outside the suit. I would listen to the therapist Smiley smile
