I'm getting married, i'm thinking chocolate brown suits for the guys. i'am i the only one that likes this?

Question

I'm thinking chocolate brown suits with pale pink cravats and waistcoats. but my soon to be hubby isnt sure. i dont want to make him wear it cos its his day as mush as mine and i dont want him to look at the photos thinking he hated the colour and that i pushed him into it. Our big day is next autum so i think brown would look lovely with pastel colours and autum flowers.

some of you obviously didnt read my question properly. i was asking an opinion not saying that i was gunna make him wear the suit. what is the world coming to wonder there so much confusion!!!

Answer 1

UP TO YOU LASS. IT'S YOUR BIG DAY AFTER ALL.

Answer 2

Hi! I think the idea of chocolate brown suits 'sounds' lovely but in reality may look a little old fashioned (and that is now, think how they will look in 15-20 years time?!) and to be honest a bit dowdy. Obviously the day is all about the 2 of you but of course the bride is everyones main focus. Therefore to ensure that you totally dazzle all your guests and sparkle on your photos, I would say to go with the black suits for the guys. Black tends to suit everyone and will be flattering to all the male attendants as well as your hubby to be. In fact when my beautiful best friend got married, her two bridesmaids wore black satin gowns and the effect was absolutely stunning!

Whatever you decide, I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world for your future together! xx

Jeeez, I wouldn't want my son to marry you.
A) you have no taste, and
B) You control freak - Its his day too provided you get your own way.
Id be careful if I were you, poor sod sound henpecked already if you are not careful, he will realise it.

Take ClCalif's advice, the wedding is the beginning, a marker in time you don't sound as if you have a clue about the marriage. No matter how long you have lived with someone, the first few weeks after the honey moon are a turning point for a lot of people.

Answer 4

When I got married I opted to wear a beautiful dress in rich cream. My bridesmaids wore cream and brown dresses with straw boaters and carried lemon flowers. I asked my husband to be to consider a brown suit - he wore navy! The photos looked okay and none of the wedding guests commented on his suit but all said I looked lovely and the bridesmaids great. I guess at the end of the day, as long as everyone enjoys themselves it really doesn't matter.

Enjoy your day and have a wonderful lif together!!

Answer 5

Can I promote the delights of surprise here? Just as your hubby to be isnt meant to see the wedding dress until the Day itself, so it seems to me it is an equally good idea that he is attired in a way that will come as a complete surprise to you then, as well!

I'm a big believer in everybody having the freedom to dress to suit and express themselves, anyway, but I do know you weren't seeking to oppress your fiance or anything!

But think over what I say, it could add to the fun!

Answer 6

I think brown is incredable!! But, not sure about the pink for the guys.

I also think that you are right, this is his day too.
If he is not sure then let him pick out what he wants. Hopefully you have taken him to see the variety of colors.

As women we tend to make the wedding event , bigger than the marriage itself.

If we planned our marriages as much as we planned our weddings there would be less divorces.

Love and commitment is bigger than any color of suits. And I know you know that. You are fortunate to have a wonderful man in your life

Answer 7

Dinner suits (like James Bond) make a spectacular sight when all the guys wear them at weddings. We own a wedding venue and have 2/3 per week here, the DS weddings are definitely the best.

Answer 8

Chocolate brown does not seem like a choice I would make. I dont feel it is formal enough and with the pink...yuck. Why not get him involved in the planning and have him pick the suits for the men. You are after all picking your wedding dress. Would you like for him to go picking your wedding dress for you? I dont think so. Let him make this choice.

Answer 9

You know I am not going to be critical just my opinion, good idea with the pastels but what do you think of light brown khaki, that would look so much better with pink instead of chocolate brown. It's a neutral color........

Answer 10

i liek brown rather tahn black and i think its good but it is his wedding day too so pls dont be too pushy on him. u'll regret ur whole life him going on and on about everyday that it was my special day too and u dint let me do and wear what i wanted. should be compromised! pls donty push him, bad sign already. he's not thinking of divorce papers already or should i say runaway groom act! dont be like this. u gt what u want and is wearing what u like, let him too. i knw u want everything perfect but the best u can get to is for him to be happy not every1 else when theyt see wot the guys are wearing. who cares, u care more about ur husband to be and if he's happy or other people being happy? who is more important right now eh? pls just do teh best thing for both of u. ok? take care and dont make mistakes like these, coz then it creates conflict. i knw u got tension and stress of wedding but in the midst of all, u forget about those that really matter in the heat of it all. do the right thing and let him be happy too. u wouldnt want to wear what u dint like so why should he. its like ur taking control of him already and u shudnt even do that coz its not fair on any1 so take it easy, calm down and all will be fine. u taken a deep breath yet. i have after writting all this hehe :D

Answer 11

Love the chocolate brown, and although I personally like pink with brown (for a woman) ... I think the pink coats are a bit mjuch for guys. They will ALL likely rebell! Have your fiance talk to the guys and see how they feel ... if they don't mind, go for it.
