Where can I get the men to wear at my wedding, that isn't too "weddingy"??!!

[geraldinetheluckygoat]

We're getting married next August!
DP is being a complete DIVA about what he wears. I have managed to dissuade him from RED CRUSHED VELVET FLARED SUIT (ffs, I know). My bridesmaids are wearing
this
I think I want a lime green and bright pink theme to the wedding. DP doesnt go for the usual wedding outfits, and he doesnt want to wear waistcoat, cravat, or anything like that.
Style people, please help me find something on a small budget that looks cool, not weddingy, but not really scruffy either!!
TIA!

Linen suit? Something light like cream/stone, nice for summer, just a white open neck shirt. Boden sell good ones.

I love the idea of linen suits, and liked the idea of putting the men in linen suits with lime green/hot pink waistcoats! I think he wants something colourful and out of the ordinary, when I suggested something lighter than the RED velvet, he suggested a white john travolta style suit with black shirt

Oh god, what am I going to do?!?!

this?

love the dress op
how about a kilt?

although all joking aside...might a zoot suit appeal to him?

Oh put all the men in peach tulle and sequinned slippers. Then you wear a tailcoat and top hat, and you will look so much better.

some of these are really cool

Lederhosen?

So what you want is a hot pink linen suit...

Is he happy for you to decide what he wears then???? Blimey impressive you will definately bw in charge at this wedding eh!

Personally I would like to see blokes in morning suits, ordinary suits etc

LOL didnt notice my typo!! Pinkpurple I dare not show him the pinkpanther suit, he will probably yell "That's THE ONE!!"
Yes it might appeal to him, he loves retro clothes, and usually goes for seventies stuff on the rare occasions we get out!
I LIKE the idea of the men in peach tulle and slippers, solidbrass, but alas I already have my dress and I fear it might clash...

Also the more classic the bloke looks the better the photos date which.... don't forget will be up in your living room for up to 60 odd years depending on how long you live,,,,,

No, flum, I think he likes me to suggest, so he can veto, I think!! I really really wish, he would just let me dress him!!
at leterhosen and hot pink linen suit!!

God, I am typo queen this evening, sorry.

oh go on...show him some of the suggestions on this thread

i think the men as clyde types as in bonny and clyde would be good wide pin stripes

twenties mobsters

fob watcxhes

waistcoats no jackets

trilb9es

card sharps

get a mob car as the wedding car

LOL he smirked at the pink suit...."no" to zoot suit
I LIKE the idea of mobsters, Zipi, waistcoats and no jackets would look cool too...I wonder if you can hire this type of thing...Hiring anything other than traditional grooms stuff seems impossible.

like this butr could have wider stripes and no jackets but need the hats

could do a poker night ntheme

prohibition

jazz

He LOVES poker nights......he had one here last night actually!

ok you nkow when you look in the films and the mpb have waistcoats only

do that

shiny shoes

Although I have already got my dress which wouldnt fit with the theme I dont think... its a bit like this but nicer!
