Opinion on wedding party outfits?

I think it will be fine. Making him feel good about his choice will go a loonnggg way with him. Tell him you've had a chance to rethink, and that you like these shirts afterall, you just needed a chance to readjust your thinking.

He made a good effort, he tried to be respectful to the colors, etc. For a guy, he did great! And HE feels like he had some control over his part of the wedding.

If you have him change him, he will shut down and not do anymore because "he can't please you." (trust me, I've been married for 14 years - :-) - one "that's not right" will ruin him - LOL)

What did the original shirt look like anyway?

EDIT - I have to disagree, without seeing them in person, I think the colors will be fine. The GM shirts are a tone on tone blue with some slubbing - the BM dress is the same shade of blue, just a deeper hue of it - so I think from the pictures online it will be fine with BM. If you look at the other blues, they are are different shade of blue and clash.

Hi Margaret and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

I agree with the other posters (and you!)....I'm not quite liking the shirt. The color would be fine as well as the print...IF the print was smaller. When I see the shirt, that is all I see are the leaves. To me it is distracting. I would much rather have a plain colored shirt. It doesn't have to "match" the bridesmaids dresses if you don't want it to. The blue in the dress looks like it would be hard to match. BUT....really....ANY lighter shade of blue would look nice as you are still in the same "color family."

Just my opinion....

The style of dress is really pretty. If you want to go with the shirts you fiance picked out, I would do a lighter color of blue on the dress. I love the dark blue, but I think it wouldn't mesh well. The lighter blue will blend in better.

Good Luck.... you're on your way to a loooooong road of compromising!!!!!

Take a moment to ponder the day when you show your teenage kids your wedding pictures. Because it WILL happen, and they will laugh, no matter what you choose.

In any case, I think the dresses are too formal for the shirts/beige pants, or the shirts are too casual for the dresses. Pick one or the other to match the styles.

I agree with the others - the shirts with match well enough. I like the idea of lighter blue in the bridesmaids bouquets to lighten them up, too. In the end, it will all look fine and blend well and you will all look pretty coordinated when you are all together.

I really do like the shirt, it is pretty colors, but you are right, it does not exactly match.

I think it will look fine, and the colors will look fine in the pictures.

If it is not too late, get some lighter blue flowers to put in the bridemaids bouquets, if not, it is still fine.

I agree with apbanpos and riversconfluence.

I really do think the colors will look fine. They might not be perfect, but I definitely think you can use different shades of blue in the flowers to make it all come together.

Best of luck to you - it will be beautiful :o)

I must admit that I winced when I saw the picture of that shirt. I think it is pretty darn awful.

If your H2B offered to change them, accept his offer. Quickly.

They will match fine I think. But I am with you that I don't really like them, mostly the design.

Those shirts are totally fine.
