Lesbian wedding, dress or suit?

Maybe a sweet casual dress for the ceremony and then change into a more dance friendly suit for the reception??

Good luck!!

My fiancee and I are wearing matching dresses. We are both very fem but not girly. Neither of us wanted to wear pants. I would say wear what makes you happy. Remember you will be looking back at the pictures and do you wanna say "I love that (dress/outfit)" or "What was I thinking wearing that?"

Completely agreed with CrystalS.

Wear what you love - if it is pants, then do slacks in a flowing wide leg silhouette with a lace jacket or blouse, diamond belt with hightop blue sneakers or sequin sneakers. I found this sexy, yet elegant jumpsuit online that I am sure you love. It's a little pricey, but you would be able to wear it again and again so it's a good investment.

What about dress for ceromney then suit for reception?

Wear whatever makes you feel like a bride on her special day.

My FW chose her outfit - black pants, black shirt and white vest - all from Men's Warehouse which is like her favorite place to shop

I chose my outfit - a white wedding gown from AA - cause I'm the princess ; ) She knows I'm wearing a dress but has no clue what style. (The only time I wear a suit is when I absolutely have to for work)

If you're really torn, you could always do an outfit change

Both my wife and I had formal wedding dresses. But you should wear what you want. After all, if she's not wearing a dress because she feels more comfortable in something else, it's not really reasonable of her to expect you to wear one even if you also feel more comfortable in something else.

I was recently at a book launching for Capturing Love: The Art of Lesbian & Gay Wedding Photography. One of the points made was that you can't just assume that the one wearing the pants is the "boy" and the one wearing the dress is the "girl," even if in fact one wears pants and one wears a dress. There are a whole lot of reasons besides emulation of traditional gender roles that someone might want to wear one or the other.

Most of the previous commenters echoed my sentiment that you should follow your heart. If it's really difficult to decide, you could wear a dress for the ceremony and a suit for the reception. You could always flip a quarter if all else fails. God bless you two!

Wow guys so many great ideas! Thank you all!! I like the idea of wearing a dress with converses because i hate heels. and that would seem more comfortable to me.

Holly: I love that collared dress idea too! and they examples you gave me.

I also like the dress for the ceremony and suit for the reception.

Everyone on here has a lot of great ideas and i like hearing different things from people and their veiws. somethings i wouldn't have thought of!

Let us know what you decide - and pics eventually!

I just found this post and thread. These are all awesome ideas! Have you hit upon a decision yet?

An idea that I don't think I saw yet is to incorporate elements in both you and your partner's outfits so that they might not be exactly alike but are clearly a matched set. I did that with two wonderful ladies who were completely different body types and styles. They both happened to want dresses and each wanted a dress made that was 'her' but still connected to the other. That's exactly what we did and they were ecstatic with how it all went. I could easily see you and your partner doing this with your outfits; you could wear what felt best to you both.

I don't have permission to post their wedding photos in a public forum, but if you were interested I could see about getting their blessing to send pics to you directly.

Be well!

Unfortuanaltly I'm not getting anything...our offientant screwed us over

@Jacqueline - I just now checked back and saw this (never got notified of a comment. Gah.) OMG that's horrible! I am so so sorry! You all must be so frustrated!

::sigh:: I wish I had something brilliant and pithy to say, but all I can think of it 'hang in there'. I don't know the details of what happened, but you deserve to be happy and with the person(s) you love, even if it takes a while. I send much support and virtual tea and cookies and chocolate. I hope they help.

NICE IDEAS

It's your wedding day and you should be able to wear what makes you feel comfortable. Maybe one of you can wear all white and the other one wear all black.
