Fiancé's Attire help

H.adam, on April 2, 2022 at 10:57 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 3 8
Hello everyone!
My fiance has finally decided that it's time to go and look at suits. He found one that he loves and I absolutely hate. Our wedding colors are emerald, berry, and gold. The girls are wearing the green. He wants to wear a burgundy suit. I've told him that it won't go with our wedding colors and he's been arguing over it for weeks.

Now he's mad because my mom had said something along the lines of that looks nice to him in order to not hurt his feelings and she also hates it. My bridesmaid that is really good friends with him isn't the biggest fan of it either. Now he's been sulking and saying to me "no, you just pick what you want". I want him wearing something he feels confident in, but want it to look good in the pictures. He picked out our photographer who is incredibly expensive and I want the pictures to look nice.
I've had to do literally all of the wedding planning with the exception of 2 emails that he's sent. I'm getting stressed and frustrated and when I told him why I was scared to tell him no, he just said "okay". How do I get him wearing something that looks nice, but also makes him feel happy and confident?

    I can see why this would bother you but I say let him wear what he wants. I would not like it if my fiancé made comments about what I want to wear but if its really going to upset you maybe suggest some burgandy accessories (vest , tie etc). Can he try on the suit he likes maybe you ll like it more once you see it on him? Good luck and happy planning!

    It sounds like there are two things going on here:


    1. Regarding his his outfit, he should get to wear what he wants. In your shoes, I’d just incorporate burgundy into the color palette. Burgundy and berry can play beautifully with each other, and it seems like it would be easy to tie the burgundy into your existing scheme through flowers.

    2. Unrelated to his suit choice, it sounds like you may be building some resentment about him not carrying his weight in the planning process. If you feel you are bearing more of the load than you should be, you need to have an honest conversation with him about that.

    The new suit is a teal plaid with a dark red tie. We saw one that was burgundy that was really nice, but it was last year's style and the store wasn't selling it, otherwise he probably would have gotten that one. The pictures he showed me definitely weren't showing the colors properly! He even mentioned that when we left the store!
