    Hello everyone :)

    I've decided I'm having a rainbow coloured wedding and I've bought all my artificial flowers already to start putting them all together. I'm having 7 colours.. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink- all bright colours rather than pastel shades. This works out perfectly as I'm having 6 bridesmaids and a flower girl. It worked out fine for the groom's party side of things too.. until he got drunk one night and decided he wanted loads of his other friends to be groomsmen! I now have the problem of him having 8 groomsmen and a best man, but then theres also his dad, and my uncle in with the groom's party.. which makes 12 in total including h2b!
    I don't know how to arrange it with their coloured buttonholes and ties?! I'm thinking of having one in each of the 7 colours, then h2b, his best man, his brother, his dad and my uncle with a white flower? But then if they had white, I don't know what colour tie they could wear? I thought of a stripped one.. but then thought they would look like clowns!!

    I then thought of just doubling up on most of the colours for everyone other than h2b, and having just him with a white flower, but then I have the same problem about what colour tie?

    Any ideas would be great.

    Thanks :)

    I'd match his tie to his flower but maybe silver as not sure you get white
    Or is there a specific colour your wearing he could match?
    I have an ivory dress but fushcia pink shoes so h2b will have fushcia pink
    You could also double all the other men up and have h2b in a completely different type of flower I have calla Lillie's in my bouquet but my bridesmaids don't so h2b is having a calla Lilly as his flower the other men are having gerberas

    Ooh id not thought of a silver tie. Think thatd look good with all the others in colours.
    My other issue then is making sure i have the right colours doubled up so the photos look good as i was photos of the colours going in rainbow order haha! Its gonna take some thinking to get it all planned out! X

    my friend had a rainbow wedding and did the same thing she put hubby in silver to balance out the colours and the BM's were told always stand in rainbow order on pics and the did it along with the Groomsmen, don't worry about it too much hun, just give the job to best man and BM and tell them to get it organised for you but if the BM's are under the instruction before you get there it should fall in to place
