Groom wearing wranglers and boots???

Is it a casual wedding? If guys are wearing jeans, then I would expect the girls to be in sundresses or equally casual attire.

View Quoted Comment Not really.
Its a winter wedding and the venue is pretty fancy.
Hes just stuck on this because slacks aren’t really his thing (even though I think he is extremely handsome in a suit)
should I just have the guys rent suits then??

Plenty of guys wear jeans and boots in a wedding. I'd look on Pinterest for pictures.

Thank you!

If its a fancy venue I would talk to him about it. I agree that I feel it would really be appropriate at a casual venue with sundresses

Are you okay with your guests coming in jeans? I believe you will kind of set the precedent, and guests will be more casual than you

Our dress code is Cocktail, so I don’t know. I mean I don’t really care but I’d rather not have jeans and T-shirt’s, or I definitely don’t want women in jeans.

They do make western suits that might work for him. (Just saw the comment about the venue being "pretty fancy."

I wouldn't have the groomsmen dressed up more than the groom, but if he's in jeans and you are in a gown, you're going to be overdressed compared to him. Will you be ok with your guests wearing jeans to your wedding, because if the groom can do it, then the guests should be able to also.

If he's "dead set" on jeans, then you need to be un-dead set on telling your guests to be in fancy attire.

If that's what he wants to wear, I'd just go with it. I agree with having the groomsmen match the wash and style. I'm assuming they're going to be dark wash, possibly starched, so it's definitely not a casual look. I think he'll be plenty dressed up (and handsome) in Wranglers and a sport coat.

Can he compromise so that he wears something fancier for the ceremony and photos and then change into jeans and boots for the reception?

I don't think jeans have a place at a fancy wedding, but that's just me.

FH has friends who have very casual weddings that they wear jeans to and it bothers me to no end. I definitely would not have the groomsmen more dressed up than the groom.

If your dress is really fancy and your venue is fancy, I don't think your FH will look like the groom.

Dress codes, other than black tie, are not supposed to be added to invitations. You can indicate attire on your website.

It would however, be completely inappropriate to suggest cocktail attire for the guests and have the groom and groomsmen show up casually dressed.

I now there are areas where men routinely wear jeans to weddings, but then you need to give up your vision of dressed up guests.

I read about half the comments so I apologize if I repeat what anyone else says.
I would go for it! he will be comfortable and I don't think you have to worry about guests showing up in jeans. If I were you I would just have the groomsmen wear jeans with a button down and your fh wear a jacket so he stands out more than them. And maybe just similar shades but I don't think they have to all be exactly the same.

In my region it is SUPER common for the groom to be in nice jeans and boots. FH will be and I am wearing a floor length gown as are my bridesmaids. We are doing a vest for the groom but just nice button ups for the guys with western silk scarves (also a winter wedding). I’ve checked pinterest and there are a lot of looks I love. I think that the only thing I worry about in your situation is that you say the venue isn’t rustic so it might be a little odd if that is actually the case.

If those are the only 2 things he requested, I say let him have it. I would have the groomsmen match him & change the guests dress code to semi-formal or dressy-casual. I agree with other comments saying you can't expect guests to be in formal attire & the guys in jeans. I think the western suit idea stated above is a nice compromise option, as well. You seem to be very understanding of his request. Kudos to that. I wish you the best of luck!

This sounds like a very good compromise. I still wouldn't tell guests to be in cocktail attire though.

My FH wanted the same thing but we're compromising with him just wearing nice boots and a suit. He likes suits though, so I'm not sure if that would work for you! 🤷‍♀️

My guys are wearing jeans and cowboy boots for the wedding. I am having a rustic wedding though so it goes with my theme. They groom is wearing a ivory dress shirt with a beige vest and lilac tie while the groomsmen are wearing ivory shirts with a latte colored vest and mint green ties. So all of the colors tie in together.

I think it would look weird if your fiance was in jeans & boots and your groomsmen were in slacks. If they wore jeans & other shoes, I think it would be fine (if the don't all own boots). My fiance is wearing a suit with boots, has your fiance considered that? I think they can all wear different washes & cuts of jeans, as long as they are nice jeans (no rips, not fading, no crazy designs, etc.) or all dark jeans but different cuts and brands since everyone's body is different.
