What's the protocol for father of bride and father of groom in terms of outfits/dress code?

I could spend time telling you all about different suits and outfits that they could wear but in a nutshell, the Father of the Bride and Groom should be dressed as formal as the wedding party.  

Once the formality has been decided upon, the dads can then figure out what they should wear - a Tuxedo, Lounge suit or something even more relaxed.

A nice touch is for their accessories to compliment their partner or in the case of the FOB - the bride.

Just For Him offers styling sessions for Dads as well as the Groom and Groomsmen.

Father of the Bride (FOB) and Father of the Groom (FOG) have several options in regards to dress standard.

For FOB, he has the hard task of matching the bride (if he is giving her away) and his wife (if she is in attendance). But depending on circumstances of each couple, FOG will generally dress to match the function he performs.

For FOG, his role is traditionally more relaxed, as he performs no function at the wedding.

With this in mind, generally speaking, dressing FOG and FOB to match, in Dinner Suits with bowties, is quite classic, and unassuming. It allows FOG to match both bride and partner without clashing with colours, or without confusion as the Groom. There are other options with regard to Fashion, and also different circumstances, but this option is by far the safest. A good stylist, will generally take into account, the outfits of the bridal party before offering a suggestion, but your individual circumstances are important as well.

I hope this helps
