Bridesman/groomsmaid Attire

So I've asked my cousin to be a bridesman, which I'm super excited about, and my FH has asked one of his close friends to be a groomsmaid. Both are super into it. I'm just trying to figure out how to dress them. The groomsmaid hates to wearing dresses, so she wants to wear a suit in the same colour as the groomsmen. My bridesman is willing to wear a pink suit, but I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to match him to my other bridesmaids.

I'm thinking about mix and match bridesmaids in variations of pink. I know a lot of people have them wear the same suit as the groomsmen, but I like the idea of him not standing out especially since it's so contrast to the lighter pink.

Any ideas??

Are you paying for the bridal party's attire? Funky suit colours are hard to find and if you manage to find them, they tend to be expensive. Keep that in mind as he may end up forking out quite a bit for a suit that he'll likely have very little use for outside of the wedding. They also tend to be stupidly uncomfortable because they're usually made of polyester instead of wool so your bridesman would be sweating like mad during an August wedding.

What is the groom's party wearing? If they're using a white shirt and coloured tie, I would invert it for your bridesman so he has a coloured shirt in a similar tone to your bridesmaids' dresses and a white tie. Another option is for your bridesman to not wear a suit. Dress him exactly as the groomsman minus the jacket and give him a vest in the same colour as your bridesmaids' dresses.

I would personally still put him in a suit that matches the GM - but have his tie be the same pink as the girls dresses (unless you are already having the GM wear matching ties...)
My girls wore plum dresses and my DH's GM wore teal ties... so if I had a bridesman he would have had a plum tie, and if he had a groomswoman then she would wear a teal dress if she didn't want to wear a suit.
