Couples are skipping the even bridal party setup and the matchy-matchy look in favor of less traditional ideas. Here are a few hot ones:
Gender-BendingIt’s no longer uncommon to see a best woman or man of honor listed on a wedding program. If the person you’re closest to happens to be your sister or brother, why not give them the highly coveted honor? For brides, this can be a great idea if you don’t want to choose between your best friends or if your closest friend is a guy. During the ceremony, the man of honor would stand on the bride’s side, and the best woman would stand next to the groom. When it comes to fashion, the man of honor should wear a tie, or vest that matches the bridesmaid dresses, or use the same flower from their bouquets as his boutonniere. Your best woman can wear a dress matching the groomsmen’s colors and hold a bouquet of flowers similar to the boutonnieres.
