CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
I went shopping with hubby to buy his suit. I'd say, yes, you definitely get to see the suit before the wedding :)
Vegas baby!

Definitely you need to see it. The suit shop we are using asks the bride to be there when h2b is picking them :)
I when with h2b when he pick want he wanted as he was a ursher last year he know what suit he wanted but just had pick waistcoat and neckwear so we done that with the swat of colours to match my bridesmaids but when it comes for him to try it on before the wedding am not going as I want the first time I see him in it is at the church but at lest I was there when everything was picked to make sure it matches

I'm colour blind, so I had to be supervised. Had I went on my own, I would have chosen an electric blue two-piece. As soon as Liz saw it, her eyes popped out of her head, and then proceeded to tell me that I looked like a gay DJ!
Let H2B choose but with help from you. let him have the final say though, as he is the one wearing it all day so he has to be comfortable. :-)
CommentAuthorroxyd
Thanks all i shall inform him of this when he comes home and i am right so hes not going to be happy hahahaha
CommentAuthorKirstenD30
My H2b has picked all the kilts for the men and I was actually very surprised! They were lovely! The only thing I changed was the black shirt to white :). I agree with MrsTalbolt2be, I dont want to see him in it until I meet him down the aisle.. But I've already spoke to MiL and she's agreed to come down on the morning of the wedding and make sure all the men are smart and presentable :) x
CommentAuthorJadeH41
i like the idea that mrstalbot2b did. go with him to find the suit n the colours etc but on the final fitting let him go by himself. that way uve had best of both worlds coz u know the colours r rite n its a nice suit but u will still get a nice surprise to c him it the whole thing on the day n he wont feel like ur intruding too much. i think i might do that coz we have have had that discussion too!
CommentAuthorroxyd
I like this idea i will not go to final fittings etc but knowing my h2b he will get some sort of joke in there some how lol
CommentAuthorKirstenD30
My h2b would do the same, that's why i've got his Mum (who has extreme OCD) to make sure they're all up to scratch lol x
CommentAuthorFinally Susan B
absolutely yes! I went with husband to choose - we both liked same style - he was keen on a lighter grey but it made him look kind of 'washed out' so persuaded him to go with black jacket - which made him look even more handsome and dashing :-)
Since when can a man pick out his own clothes? lol x
CommentAuthorroxyd
Lol this true
CommentAuthorEmmaI93
To be honest...don't you trust your partner. If he's not seeing your dress and he trusts you then you should trust him and deal with it...hes the one wearing the outfit not you. If he wants to have a look then let him. To me its a like bridezilla having that much control over your OH outfit.
CommentAuthorclive
This is pretty much the attitude we adopted. Only my colour blindness put a stop to that :-)
CommentAuthorroxyd
Emmal93 im not picking the suit just helping with colours and like the other girls on here have said it helps to match bridemaids and to be fair if you could see what hes looking at you would want to know alittle bit of what hes wearing.! This is a bit of a light hearted disscussion not to be taken massively serious but want to see what other brides are doing
CommentAuthorbarbie86
I tend to think that he should be able to pick his own suit TBH. My OH is an adult; he is capable of choosing a suit. That said, he wants me to come along with him, as he's looking at getting two 'investment' suits: a grey semi-formal suit for the day, and a black dinner suit/tux for the evening; the budget for both is £700, and we'd looking at buying suits that will last him for years to come. So, he does want my opinion because I know more about suits.
But, would I insist on going, or insist on them being a certain style? Nope; much as he wouldn't dictate what dress I wear.
CommentAuthor*KelBel*
Definitely see the suits, I will be! It's a tradition for the dress not the suits x

CommentAuthorMrsMoran
To be honest, i agree with some of the others, that i shouldn't insist on going and picking the suits, at the end of the day it's h2b's decision, I would trust him enough to pick his own suit and i'm sure you wouldn't like it if he insisted on going with you to try out dresses and pick which one you should have. But if you say you'd like to be there if he agrees and would like your input too in picking the outfits then fair enough. Am going with h2b to have a look at suits, but it is his decision which one he goes for xxx
CommentAuthorbarbie86
Well said MrsMoran2b :-)
CommentAuthorLauraJo87
I was dead against my h2b having a baby blue suit - however, I went with it, even going so far as to change the colour scheme from sage green and silver to purple and silver to accommodate it....
He then changed his mind after discussing it with a recently married colleague ( of course, this was after the bm dresses were bought in the new colour scheme - oh well) and has gone for a mid grey with silver waistcoat and purple tye and hankie. Me and sil2b (whose husband is best man) went with them, at there request., and the blokes were glad we did as we had quite a giggle. I won't be going to the final fitting so I'll still get the 'first look' on the day. In the end, h2b chose the outfit, with a bit of input, but he was happy with it. If he was adamant he wanted to do it all himself, well, I wouldnt have been totally happy about it but I would have let him do it - after all, it's his wedding day too! Xx

Thanks barbie86 :-) xxx
CommentAuthorroxyd
Oh im not telling him what to wear thats just mean just slight input so i dont have a circus master turn up he wants top and tails its just he not to sure on colour thanks everyone for imput x
CommentAuthorJoanna
I don't see why the bride needs to see the suit, just like the groom wouldn't see the dress. Plus, I would never go along suit shopping with them as its nice for all the men to go together.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return

CommentAuthorSillybirds
This will make you laugh, my H2B wanted to wear a kilt. I said Okay, that sounds different. He said he would show me a picture of him in one.
I nigh on wet myself laughing when I saw him in this kilt and said No NO NO I don't fancy you in a kilt!!!!! So he is going for a gorgeous black suit!!! ha ha ha
Future Mrs Chick!!!
CommentAuthorMrsH-2B
We've discussed his suits and the only thing I asked is that it is black matching trousers, NO grey pin stripe trousers ! We agreed it would be silver waistcoat and cravat for the groomsmen and white waistcoat and cravat for H2B.. But I won't actually see the suits until the day.. He has threatened to turn up in his football shirt and to change the colour of the cravats to green and yellow !!!! But I trust him and know he wouldn't ruin our wedding day by doing something stupid.. xxx
I can't wait to become his Wife :-) <3

CommentAuthorLauraM9144
hehe i went totally bridezilla over his suit and for very good reason! i love him with all my heart and soul but if he turned up on our wedding day in his leicester city football shirt i would probably be attending his funeral not our wedding!!! and believe me he would be wearing exactly that! he has no clue and he openly admits it we actually had a laugh choosing his suits he liked to know i liked what hes wearing and he didnt get ripped off either!!! but that said if he hadn't made it clear he wanted some help i wouldnt have interfered i like the idea of neither knowing what the other will look like but i just know it wouldnt have worked for us
One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!
CommentAuthorMrsH-2B
I've shown H2B enough suits, waistcoats and cravats he couldn't possibly disappoint me :-) I 'accidentally' dotted a few in his suit brochure with perminent marker, you know howwhen you have a pen in your hand and you wave it around and poke the page at things you like ;-) xxx

we picked suits and colours together its all booked and deposit payed so they just have to go get measured for them which I wont be going with them for.
CommentAuthorAna40
I think it's nice to leave him to it. Then you can also have a surprise on the day. X
CommentAuthorValentinaK
I think you should respect his wishes and trust it won't be a massive mismatch. surely he should wear what he finds comfotable and stylish on the day... lets face it...unless hes going for an autin powers monstrosity, you should be ok! It's just chance I know what mine will be wearing as it's his RAF no.1 Uniform...to save us money more than anything else!
