OH decided he wanted a brown suit and he didn't want tails

We went together and he chose a chocolate prince edward, ivory shirt, brown cravat and a creamy/mocha cocha coloured waistcoast

OH has picked this exact outfit as in the picture!! He looks really nice in that style as the 'tails' made him look shorter than he already is LOL

Good morning

Thats exactly the same colour suit I tried on. Its a really nice combination. I had to change the colour of my suits though as my B2B's bridemaids were orginally going to wear gold dresses but my B2B and brides maids fell in love with come chocolate coloured dresses which would have clashed with my and my grooms parties suit colour as it is not an exact match

Im gonna go for either black or grey edward style suits with gold waistcoats and a gold cravat for myself and either a chocolate or ivory cravats for the BM's and ushers

I've been left to decide what he wears, as well as plan the entire wedding haha!
I'm hopefully gonna get a 1950s Mod style Mohair double breasted suit tailored for him, with skinny fit trousers. He's extremely skinny and straight up and down so "normal" suits just drown him.

Same problem I have with my other half! He's so skinny he looks silly in most suits!

And not sure why but I have an aversion to ivory/cream waistcoats with the patterns on? :-s

Oh having a cream prince edward suit and groomsmen, BM, and fathers will be in a brown prince edward suit

I can't wait to see how handsome they all will look ; )

We've just bought a mod suit from this place in Brighton - w w w. jumpthegun. c o . u k (can't post links, sorry!)
They were really great in there and I'd recommend them to anyone. The suit we got isn't on the website, it's a really lovely quality navy wool one which looks fantastic. It also gave an excuse for a mini holiday!

We didn't really want to go down the matching suits hiring route, and if I get to keep my dress, thought he should get to keep his suit (especially as he's got more chance of wearing it again! ).

Are you trying to say you do not find this find specimen of a man the least bit attractive? :D

I like the kilt look, very nice.....so long as your OH doesn't try what the Scottish rugby supporter did live on the news

We are having Mocha coloured (they look more like a galaxay chocolate colour) bridesmaid dresses and didn't think of this :eek: looks like I'll have to go and test it out
If it doesn't work it looks like I may get my own way and OH will have to wear beige :d
