For the past year, my FH has been absolutely adament that he wants a tan/sand/oatmeal suit for our wedding. Absolutely deadset on it. So we planned a colour scheme around him and the groomsmen being in tan/sand, and my bridal party being in pastel sea blues/greens. All good, all super organised but then...
I pretty much dragged FH suit shopping the other day. To see if anything was in the sales and just to try a few things on and maybe get some fabric swatches or whatever as I'm planning on going shopping with the bridesmaids soon. Got to Moss Bros and he told the advisor he wanted tan, absolutely definitely tan. Tried it on and HATED IT. It just did not go with his complextion at all and completely washed him out.
Still, he was adament he wanted a light colour - tried some on and again, unsure, unsure, unsure.
Long story short, he eventually tried on a teal suit and fell completely in love with it!!
Which has led to a lot of rethinking around what the rest of the wedding party might wear, we might even reverse the original and put team bride in sand colours like golds or champagnes or something. I don't know, I'm currently making lots of moodboards all over again haha. (Ideas welcome!)
So, my advice is, unless your groom is the kind of guy that's already v into suits and knows what he likes and looks good in, get them shopping sooner than you think!
