After the recent royal wedding of Prince William and Princess Kate there is going to be more and more couples trying to pull off a royal wedding of their own. The main problem area for the grooms of future weddings is what they wear to make them look like a Prince.

Prince William surprised many people when he chose to wear the Irish Guards Mounted Officer's uniform. His reason for wearing the scarlet red uniform was that he was awarded the rank of Colonel of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards by the Queen earlier in the year. In fact he could have worn the army uniform or the Royal Air Force uniform as he has served in all three armed services. His chosen outfit would usually be accompanied by a bearskin hat but William chose to wear a Forage Cap instead. It was the first time that the red of the Irish Guards had been worn at a Royal wedding since 1973.

William's best man was his brother Prince Harry and he chose to wear the Blue and Royals Officer's Uniform. Similarly to his brother he also wore a Forage cap and matching navy pants with a red stripe. Both brothers also wore simple black shoes with gold spurs, bright white gloves and they had matching gold waist belt sword slings without the swords attached. The Princes father Charles opted for the uniform of the Royal Navy along with s gold waist belt sword sling along with the sword unlike his sons but he did wear a matching Forgage cap and white gloves.

When guests were invited to attend the royal wedding they were given advice on what they should wear. Their invitation stated that they can wear a military uniform if they were a member of the armed forces. To wear a uniform to the wedding the guest would also need permission from their commanding officer to do so. They should also wear the hat to accompany their uniform outside the church and carry it under their arm when walking in. If the guest was not a member of the armed forces they were advised to wear a morning coat that was either black or gray with a matching top hat along with a gray pants with stripes. The guest was also advised to wear a waist coat with matching gloves, black shoes, a shirt that can be tied with cuff links and either a tie or cravat.
