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

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!

Cod, he wants to wear red crushed velvet flared suit. But thats not all. With frilled shirt.
He wants to look like Austin Powers.

My dp is wearing a suit from this store - great if you like the sharp-cut mod style. his best man is wearing a red pinstripe suit from gieves and hawkes, apparently!

It's his wedding

can't he wear what he likes?

Would you let him choose your dress?

geraldinetheluckygoat · 07/10/2008 20:44

No, because he will clash with the bridesmaids and everything else that's already been bought. Controlling, aren't I? Amazing he's marrying me really....
He has actually asked me to help him find something, so that's what I'm doing.
Would I let him chose my dress? He'd probably chose a pretty nice one, I would consider his choice, I think! Which is after all what he's doing with my suggestions...
