Help me with a cheaper wedding suit!

After months of looking, I'm seeking SF's advice for my wedding day attire. I usually stay on the streetwear side of the forum, so I'm a little uneducated about MC.

Anyway, I'm looking for a brown suit in the ~$400 range. I wouldn't mind going a little over, but I would prefer to be under--as much as I love wearing a suit, I think I've done so three times since buying my only suit during my senior year of high school (six years ago). Our colors are pink, green, and a little bit of brown, hence a brown suit. I'd be open to other suggestions about what I could wear, though.

I've had trouble finding a nice shade of brown at a reasonable price. I'm not terribly particular about the shade, but every suit I find on the cheaper side looks awfully dull. Any help in finding a source for decent cheap suits would be great! I know SF doesn't love cheap, made-outside-Italy suits, but help a brother out.

Thanks!

Edit for details about the wedding: August, 5pm ceremony at a church (not a grand cathedral with flying butters), reception in my fiancee's parents' backyard, going for a relaxed-but-nice mood.

Brown is not a good color for a wedding. Go with navy, up your budget, and you will have a suit that can be used for any occasion.

All white suit or all black suit solid colors. Just kidding...

Stick with charcoals, grays, blues and navys also good. Brown is not a common color associated with weddings, after all you do not want to look like you are dressed in a turd.

But it is your wedding, wear what you want...
