I (bride) decided that we're having the groomsmen in black tuxes in addition to my groom, not because it's a black-tie wedding but just because I like the timeless look of tuxes. The three groomsmen bowties will reflect the bridesmaids' and MOH's dress colors, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what to do with my dad.
Seems the general consensus is he should reflect the wedding party, so he'll also be in a black tux. I still haven't decided if I want the groom in a white or black tie, would giving my dad the opposite of whatever my groom is in be an appropriate way of differentiating him? A different color boutinarre? A different color bowtie from the groomsmen entirely, or maybe even a tie instead of a bowtie? All of the above? I obviously am at a bit of a loss and any input or insight into how you've done it yourselves or seen others do it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
