Hi I keep reading that the grooms lady should be dressed like the bridesmaids. What if the bride absolutely is dead set against having a grooms lady? I do not want her to look anything like the bridesmaids that I have chosen. My Fiancee wants his cousin to be his grooms lady and I don't want it at all. So he has told her to wear a black dress to match with the groomsmen. Is this wrong?

When you say Groom's lady, do you mean a 'Best Woman' when the groom has a female honor attendant rather than a best man)? Rhonda Allen, Bridal Consultant New Beginnings Weddings

She really should be dressed as one of the bridesmaids except wearing the same corsage as the men. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now

I'm not exactly sure what to call her. He already has a best man (his brother) and he added her in after all of the groomsmen were chosen because I flat out refused to have her as a bridesmaid. It was totally my choice who to have as a bridesmaid and I'm not about to have a complete stranger as my bridesmaid just to make him happy. That's why she's wearing black, so that absolutely nobody confuses her with my bridesmaids. We've even told the florist to make her flower that of the groomsmen. What is so wrong about her wearing black?

I can only inform you of what is expected, but it is your decision to do as you please.
One think I can't understand, though, is why you wouldn't want to do something that is so simple if it will make your fiance happy. He will be your husband soon and this is what we do as husband and wife--we try to make each other happy. Plus, with your insistence, this young lady is most likely feeling as if she isn't welcome.
