Guy as a bridesmaid advice

Uh, he wouldn't be a bridesmaid...he'd be a bridesman. And I agree with JFTB, ask HIM what he wants.

What is the rest of the bridal party wearing? Colors?

Definitely boutineer, a bouquet would just look odd unless that's something he wants to have

I'm just using what he referred to it himself, he said specifically to be a bridesmaid but I love the term bridesman. I'll use that from now on!

The bridesmaids are wearing a peach/coral colored dress and the groomsmen attire hasn't been totally hammered down at this point but the colors are navy and coral!

My friend had her brother as man of honor at her wedding last year. The men wore dark grey suits so the man of honor wore a lighter shade of grey but they all had the same vest and tie. Since navy is one of the colors I'd assume that's what the GM will ve wearing so maybe try to distinguish him by having him wear a vest and tie of a different shade. You can also give him a different color boutonieer.

Definitely ask him what he prefers

Mine have usually matched the groomsmen....

I am also a MOH at my best friends wedding and her brother is on our side. He calls himself the gay of honor so use whatever he wants to be called. She's going with pastels and he will be matching the groomsmen. He will just use a pastel tie and whatnot.

I'm having my twin brother be my man of honor. He is going to wear the same burgundy suit as the groomsman but we got him a tricked out gold tie and pocket square from etsy. The groomsmen will just wear black ties/pocket squares. The only other person in my bridal party is my sister, she will be in white, so that was pretty easy to work around.

Like PP's said definitely ask what he wants, I chose the suit but my brother wanted to stand out so he found the tie and pocket square and I was cool with it. Just want him to be happy!

I'm having 3 bridesmen and FH and I agreed that we want the guys on my side to look different from the guys on his side. The tentative plan is to have my guys wear long ties and to have his groomsmen wear bow ties and vests.

Love all these ideas ladies!! All so so very helpful. We want to make him feel totally comfortable. He agreed to be a groomsman but he threw out he'd like to be a bridesmaid and she wants to accomadate that instead

If I was doing it I would have them match the groomsmen.

Two of my friends had a bridesman in their wedding. I believe they had boutonnières and wore what the groomsmen wore. But it never hurts to ask him what he feels comfortable doing.

I had two bridesmen on my side. They wore the same color suit as the guys, and they wore navy bow ties instead of navy ties.

A friend is having a bridesman at her wedding and she is having him wear what the groomsmen wear in the bridesmaids colors and I think it's just a vest and no jacket. They also have a girl on the groom side wearing a bridesmaid dress in the tux color of the groomsmen. Seemed to work for her. Don't know what the plan on flowers is.

We have men and women on both sides. .. men in beige suits with burgundy ties and boutonierres, women in dresses of their choice in neutral shades (beige, blush, champagne). We actually have more men than women, but we decided to have two men escort one women down the aisle, and it works perfectly. I love my bridesmen, I'm so glad they're in my group.

My brother is my Man of Honor and FH has a grooms lady. We decided to have everyone in gray. The brides side will have accents of navy blue and the grooms side will have accents of emerald green.

My friend had a guy in her bridal party - we called him the bridesman instead of a bridesmaid He wasn't interested in participating in the bridal shower (which was just women) or the bachelorette party, so he just stood up with us during the wedding. I feel so stereotypical just saying this but he was straight, so if your friend's brother is gay, he may be happy to participate in those events, but I think she should ask him! He wore a suit the same color as the GM, but his vest and tie was the same color as the BM dresses. Definitely no bouquet, he wore the same boutonniere as the GM.
