Military Formal Weddings

The military formal wedding would entail the following: An officer or enlisted personnel in the bridal party wear uniforms in accordance with the formality of the wedding and seasonal uniform regulations. For commissioned officers, evening dress uniform is the same as civilian white tie and tails. The dinner or mess dress uniform is equivalent to civilian “black tie” requirements. The choice to attend the wedding in uniform as a military guest is optional.

In the case of noncommissioned officers and other enlisted, dress blues or Army green uniforms may be worn at formal or informal weddings. A female military member (officer or enlisted) may be married in uniform, or she may wear a traditional bridal gown. A boutonniere is never worn with a uniform.

The “arch of sabers” is usually part of a military formal wedding. The arch of swords takes place immediately following the ceremony, preferably when the couple leaves the chapel or church, on the steps or walk. Since a church is a sanctuary, in case of bad weather, and with permission, the arch may be formed inside the chapel or church. Also, with permission, you may be allowed to have two arches of sabers, one in the church and one outside. White gloves are a necessity for all saber (sword) bearers.
