I am having two maid of honours. One is a male and one is a female. I'm calling him my man of honour. My bridesmaids will be wearing and different colour to our groomsmen the question is should my man of honour match the bridesmaids or the groomsmen?

Depending on your colour scheme and what you plan to do with the suits I'd get him the same suit with a shirt to match the colour of your bridesmaids dresses x

Our colour scheme is Cadbury purple and charcoal grey. All my bridesmaids are in purple but I have a female usher who will be in a grey version of the BM dresses.

I'd say same suit but colour to make bridesmaids since he's your man of honour and not a groomsman x

Bridesmaids. My husband is having some 'groomsmaids' in addition to ushers and they will be in navy like the groom.

I'm having my brother as a bridesman and he's wearing a suit that matches the bridesmaids dresses (he's pretty like flamboyant anyway so he doesn't mind a coloured suit)

Bridesmaids for sure

I would say probably bridesmaid. However you could have him in same suit as groomsman but have a waist coat in same colour as the bridesmaids? That's if the colours work together x

See what he'd prefer. But if he is specifically part of the bridal party, it makes sense to match the bridesmaids.

Following as I'm have the same issue but the other way! We've got a best woman with 3 groomsmen. Then 4 bridesmaids on my side.
Do I put her in black like the boys?

My bridesman had a matching suit & waistcoat as the groomsmen but his tie & cravat matched my moh dress

I'm having a 'man of honour' too. He's having the same colour as my bridesmaid's dress on his tie but wearing the same suit as the groomsmen.
We're also having a 'best lady' and she's wearing a dress that matches the colour of the groomsmen's ties. Hope this helps!

I'd say suit to match the groomsmen but maybe the shirt colour to match the bridesmaids - unless you can find a really nice purple suit. I think as long as you can see a clear link to the bridal party you'll be good :)

Bridesmaids i'd say. I have the same issue having mainly men as bridesmen and a man of honour:P

I'd say same colours as bridesmaids as he's part of the wedding party not the groom party
