Do you think I'm being a control freak!

I'm just worried that my h2b will get something ridicolulous.
Bless him but he has no dress sense, I always buy his clothes for him, get his clothes out in the morning lOl!
He will be going with his groomsmen aswell, of which 2 have a good dress sense!
it's just I know exactly what I would like them to wear- I have shown my h2b some piccys which he loves but will this b what he gets?
Am I over reacting? Or is this like a tradition for the men to all go together?
Anyone in a similar situation? :-)

Don't forget he'll have the sales person to guide his choice. I say let him go on his own to pick suits out, but retain the power of veto. So after they pick them you give final approval and pay the deposit.

Well my OH reckons he can get away with suit shopping a month before the day, and also wants to get the suits from Dumb & dumber, so even if i have to transform into a fly on the wall i will be there one way or another... cause theres only s many times he can make that joke before ill go into stress head and take it seriously!!

I have to agree though, when the day comes and he wants to go and choose, if he doesn't want me there then so be it, yes I've looked in brochures & online with him, and have both agreed on the likes/dislikes etc but thats just like when I was perusing dresses (none of the ones i tried on he saw) and showing him similar ones to see his reactions etc. I didn't want him there for my dress choosing and also he doesn't want to know what the BM's and FG are wearing either.
Let him go with his groomsmen - and lucky for you they have better dress sense!! - but as Samantha also mentioned, there will be the salesperson to help (they do this for a living so know what to say etc). As long as he knows colour scheme for cravat/tie etc you shouldnt have a problem!!

Good luck xx

My H2B will be going on his own, he likes completely different suits to what I would pick, but he always looks great! Gonna put my trust in him - plus hes not too wacky himself so i think its safe! He's joked about the whoel "disco" suit, but he just would never wear one so I know he wont! xx

Yeah my h2b wants to go on his own to, he says if he can't see my dress I can't see his suit. I am going to let him go and provisionally get it but I want to see it when he gets back before we put all the money down as i don't trust his fashion sense haha x x

I think this is probably the only thing most men have a say on about the wedding. I say let him go and choose, the people in the shops r brilliant and qualified with dealing with such cases.lol. I may make my mum go with my OH tho, im not 2 sure, she is well known 4 her direct opinion! lol

Honestly, I find it weird and controlling when brides want to dictate what their partner's wear.

My OH will be choosing his own suit; if he wants me to go with him to help (he probably will, I always get dragged along on his shopping trips) that's cool; if not, that's also cool. I would never dream of insisting on coming, and choosing what he wears; it's his day as much as mine, and he needs to feel comfortable.

I'll admit I'd be disappointed if he decided to go with something very traditional, as it won't really suit our venue; but he's only going to get married once, so if he wants to, who am I to stop him? And I'm sure he'll look handsome whatever he's in.

I want to go suit shopping with my h2b but he won't let me. :( somehow I will go with him lol

To be honest I would have been happy about him going shopping on his own. They are only hiring them, and we both wanted the same kind of thing and he knew what colour tie to go for, it just happened that we popped in there to have a look at what they had and ended up booking them!

I don't see anything wrong with him picking his own suit. Why should we pick them? We wouldn't let h2b pick our dresses would we? As long as the colour is right then I dont see a problem with it, at least he will be wearing something that he likes and feels comfortable in xxx

I feel the same, but I know that I have had most of the input o er the wedding and he really wants to do this all on Homs own so I am going to have to try and not be a control freak about it lol!

I'm sure it'll be fine, I mean, a suits a suit isn,t it?

That said, h2b was talking about a blue suit....noooooo! Xx

I went with my h2b, our bm and fob. I thought h2b would be a pain in the bum as he had refused point blank on like a tailcoat. In we walked and the dummy had the tail coat, striped pants, cream waistcoat and coffee cravat I wanted him to have -was like it was meant to be and oh just went I'll have that!

I would talk to him beforehand about your ideas and colours and maybe look on internet at pictures so have some ideas but definitely leave him to it. We plan everything else for the wedding so nice for him to do something on his own. Trust his opinion and at the end of the day he is wearing it so needs to be comfartable with his choice xxx

Thanks for everyone's comments - I have realised I am being a bit controlling!
I have spoken my OH and we have agreed that once he has chosen the suits I will b allowed to have the final say before paying.
Also I have ordered a swatch of the BM dresses - so they can use to co-ordinate colours :-) x

I had the same issue with my hubby, I had this idea that he had to wear top hat & tails! He blatently refused to wear it & decided to chose the suits himself. His reasons were he didnt know what I was going to wear on our wedding day & why should I know what he was!! As such I only knew what he had chosen the day of the wedding. I was pleasantly surprised when He had chose grey tail coats. I had cravats made from same material as bridesmaid dresses. Men dont have much say in the decision making so be nice for him to have the opportunity to chose them. Tbh carnt go wrong with a suit

have you showed him the outfit that ya know will suit him ? have ya's disscussed the different designs like highland / prince enward / morning suit's that sort of thing

Mine picked his own - I've seen it though, but I know he wouldn't let us down and wouldn't pick something ridiculous. He's a grown man, I can't tell him what to wear anyway :o) x
