Young man going to pagan wedding

[Theolittle]

… and not allowed to wear blue

he only has a blue suit!

Summer wedding day do. Dont want to spend a fortune, any suggestions?

Either a cheap outfit or something wearable again would be best

Chenos and a linen shirt

Not allowed to wear blue ? ? I’m always baffled by tyrannical weddings like this. I miss the old days when people were just grateful at their loved ones pitching up in a nice outfit.
But anyway, how old is he ? Does he have any smartish separates ? A suit isn’t essential as long as he has a good shirt and looks as though he has made an effort.

Definitely chinos and shirt plus pick up a jacket at a charity shop/borrow though find out if it’s even a smart affair or more alternative, I’ve been to secular weddings but not a pagan one, my mind imagines tie-dye and harem pants!

My niece had a pagan wedding in Glastonbury. Nearly all the young men were dressed like this. Plus the odd waistcoat. A lot of linen and several vikings in homemade shoes.

I‘ve had a pagan wedding. A suit or even a jacket would not be the right thing. Have a look on Pinterest at pagan weddings. Think more boho.

I'd have him ask whoever he's closest to in the wedding party, Chinos and a nice shirt will likely do, but these can vary widely and I agree that a suit is probably not the way to go anyways.

My guess on the no-blue thing is that's what the wedding couple will wear. My husband and I both wore blue to ours - as it was very small we didn't tell the guests, but I know other people will when it's something not typically British like an Indian coworker of mine who told those who were invited about what colours weren't traditionally worn to weddings, noting that she didn't really need to tell them not to wear White as British women wouldn't do that anyways.

Maybe some ideas here...

What do these look like?

For my pagan wedding everyone turned up wearing pagan national dress. Harem pants and a teashirt mainly.
Any new age smartish clothing will do. Or ethnic clothing is a popular choice.

I’ve been to a couple. Linen trousers and shirt is more the vibe.

Buddha Stone is Chinese tat. The stuff they sell is widely available on Amazon, Ali Express and similar

I agree that one/both of the couple will be wearing blue which is why they've asked not to wear that.

We had a pagan wedding and most of the men wore jeans and a shirt. There were some suits and some t-shirts too so as long as he's comfortable he will be fine!

A friend lived near Avebury so I saw a lot of pagan weddings, hand fasting etc — the summer male looks tended to be loose linen-y or hemp type shirts, sometimes with waistcoats, strings of beads or garlands, and stripy trousers, harem style ones, shorts etc.

Unless it’s an extremely formal wedding, I think he’d look out of place in a suit. Shirt chinos combo is a classic and what most people wear these days. Very easy not to buy these items in blue and can be worn again.

I wouldn't cosplay as a hippy if that's not his thing. It's likely to be more casual than a non-, pagan wedding, but I guess that will depend on whether or not the couple have invited lots of other pagans. Not necessarily the case - family may not share same religion etc

Exactly. Are they going to send him home if he wears his blue suit??

Black jeans if blue is not allowed, and whatever shirt he fancies. A linen one would work with the vibe. Or a linen jacket if it's something he'd wear again. It's probably going to be in a field or barn or something outdoorsy? In which case overly formal would be inappropriate.
