I think same color but different hue is a safe bet, especially if it's blue! Blue is already a super common color and it's even more normal considering it's a nautical wedding

I’m so serious, ask her. You guys had a formerly strained relationship, and you don’t want to exacerbate it by overstepping by dressing the same as other or not reading the room and wearing a different color. Communication is a very important step in mending relationships. Just be like hi what color would you like me to wear?

it’s a nautical themed wedding in the evening, and the color is navy. i don’t want to ask her, because we only started talking again a couple weeks before the wedding, but i don’t want it to seem like i didn’t expect that/wasn’t prepared.

also i’m concerned that a lot of people are going to wear blue to a nautical wedding, and we have a big family, so i’m going to look insane in family photos if everyone but me wears blue. but i also don’t want to look like i’m trying to be a bridesmaid even though i’m not or pick the wrong shade of navy and clash.

oh gosh but I don’t want her to get upset that you went behind her back and wore the bridal party colors without her permission. Can you ask ANYONE at all in the bridal party? Best bet is different hue as well, but if it was my wedding, I would be a little upset 😭

no she’s alienated her family in favor of the people in her bridal party, and i don’t know them. i chose a neutral brown bc it was harder to find dresses that fit than i thought. already own a less formal navy dress that i will probably bring for photos in case i show up and she asks why i’m not wearing navy.

i bought something brown bc i’m really difficult to fit, but if i find something blue, i can return it!
