Bridal party dresses and tuxedos, match or no match?

OK, I am having a serious brain freeze here. Seems I knew the basics of a wedding..that is until it came to planning my own! It seems I have suddenly "forgotten" a lot of things! So here it is:

I have my dress, which is Ivory; the groom's tux coordinates with my dress, correct? Does he have any color on him that coordinates with the bridesmaids dresses? Now the best man's tux is the same color as the groom's, but he DOES have a tie or a vest or something that coordinates with the bridesmaids, right? What about the ring bearer? My bridal party (as far as the females) consists of a matron of honor, a jr. bridesmaid, and a flowergirl. Do the matron of honor and Jr. bridesmaid have the same color dresses? It can be a different style right? The flower girl would wear the same color dress as mine? With or without a sash or something that would coordinate with the girls' dresses? Lots of questions!

The grooms tux does coordinate with the brides dress and sometimes they will have a boutonniere or handkerchief that also coordinates with the colors of the bridesmaids/groomsmen. For instance if the dresses are pink, he could have a little pink in his boutonniere. And typically the groomsmen/bestman will coordinate with the bridesmaids. Going with the pink theory, they would have a pink tie and/or vest. I think it looks nice to carry this over to the ring bearer as well. Today, lots of different things are happening in MOH dresses. It could be a different length, style or even a different color than the junior bridesmaid dress. I personally think it looks more cohesive in the same color. I also think it would be really cute to have the flower girl in the same color as your dress but with a sash that matched the wedding party. But of course just my opinion and whatever you choice will look beautiful!

I am putting up a fuss with this convo with FH. He wants platinum i want pink to match the dresses. my opinion, match them with the dresses. FH's opinion ( if he were on here) *says in a masculine voice* "platinum matches everything hun!" lol
The groom matches you and i have the ring bearer matching the groom. the girls dresses dont have to match if you dont want. but if you have them having different colors go with a neutral color vest for the guys. if they have the same color different dress then like i said, in my opinion match them, but if you dont like that do a nautral color. the FG can have whatever dress you chose for her. my FG has a similar style but not the same dress.
