What Does a Ring Bearer Wear?

While classic ring bearer outfit options include tuxes, suspenders and bow ties, the couple is entirely free to make their own rules when it comes to ring bearer attire. The wedding dress code will largely inform the ring bearer's outfit, depending on the level of formality required. While a black tie affair will require a tuxedo and dress shoes, for something more casual you can get away with a button down or polo shirt. If you are the couple, be sure to have these conversations with the ring bearer's parents, as they are typically responsible for purchasing any and all outfits needed for the wedding. Comfort should be another goal, as itchy or tight attire means a cranky ring bearer (especially if they're babies or toddlers).
