My fiance hasn't shown much interest in his outfit so far so I'm trying to move things along a bit by showing him some possibilities. For background, our wedding is going to be in September at a big private house (not a stately home, a modern place) in Cornwall, hopefully with the ceremony taking place in the garden.
Our colour scheme is navy blue and pale pink (bridesmaid will be wearing a navy dress and we're having pale pink flowers). Neither of us are that keen on satin 'wedding waistcoats' or cravats, so between us I think we've decided that he will wear a mid or light grey three-piece morning suit (with matching grey waistcoat) and a tie.
I think a plain tie might end up looking a bit boring, so to make it more interesting I was thinking of a striped tie like this:
When I went into Moss to pick up their brochure and generally have a chat with one of the advisors, I suggested that tie and he pretty much turned his nose up and said that was a business tie and not suitable for a wedding. Would you agree?
He then pointed out this tie, and I can't decide whether I think it would be brilliant or horrible!
He'd probably end up with a plain navy hankerchief and pale pink buttonhole.
The other question then is should my dad and his (who is probably best man, he just doesn't know it yet!) wear a plain tie?
Any opinions, photos from OMs or links to other suggestions would be much appreciated.
