Been suit shopping today and thought it would just be a matter of confirming sizes but the suit h2b wanted which was a slim fit, petrol blue very modern suit just didn't suit the best man or my step dad (to get them to fit the waist made them huge on the bum area!) So we went to hof and found a blue suit that at least fit everyone but h2b feels he's settling for that one and it's really not what he wants to wear on the day.
We've decided he will wear the one he wanted to have originally, this one:

And the dads and best man will wear this one:

What do you think?

Both suits are lovely, If he feels more comfortable in the first suit then he should wear that one. My H2b and our ds will be in different tartan from the other guys. At the end of the day hes the groom and if he wants to be different then so be it

I agree with Velcro,and both suits look nice :-). My OH won't match his best man or ushers, he will be looking totally different. Your h2b will stand out as the groom, my oh had just said " there's nothing worse than playing spot the groom" lol xx
Our groomsmen are all wearing different suits. Reason being I cannot STAND an ill-fitting suit, and unless all your groomsmen are the same size and shape, it's highly unlikely you'll find one suit that fits/flatters all. So, we've given them each £60 towards a suit, which would cover the cost of a rented one (so, they can either rent, or else put it towards buying one) and asked that it's grey: any shade goes. They will all wear white shirts and matching ties to tie the look together.
So no, I don't see any issue; I've always find the whole matching thing quite odd TBH.

Both look fab and not all matching if groom diff from rest will be ok as lets be honest they will all be mainly looking at you and your H2B :)

I like it! It's important they are all comfortable and they don't need to exactly match :)

Yeah I think they look cool, we're doing something similar, we have identical twins as our groomsmen, and they couldn't get jackets big enough so them two are wearing a different suit to the rest x

Yes I think it looks fine. We've only ordered suits for H2B and the two best men, all others will wear their own.
30th August 2014 was the best birthday ever.

I think it looks nice and don't see why the groom should have to settle, its his day too, plus I think he should look different from the groomsmen.

Thanks everyone. He's taken back the suit he didn't like and got the other one. He's a million times happier with it - sent me an email saying he feels a million dollars in it
