Tux Ideas

Christie, on May 16, 2019 at 9:45 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4
Hi!! My FH and I picked out the tuxes last weekend and have a few decisions to make before finalizing/making deposit. We are good on colors as I took my swatch (plum) along, but still undecided on a few things. I'm such a visual person so trying to picture what everyone will look like in photos is tough.

FH is in a dark grey tux, plum striped vest, plum vine tie, white shirt. The best man/fathers/usher (which is a brother in law) are in a lighter grey with matching grey vest. Best man striped plum tie and fathers/brother-in-law plain plum tie.
Should all guys shoes match?

My nephews, 9 and 14 are also ushers and will have lighter grey pants, white shirt, striped plum bow tie and plum suspenders.
Do they need a jacket?

What are your thoughts? I'm getting mixed reviews from family. I'm sure it's all a personal choice and as my sister always says, its whatever you want. I'm trying not to think about it too much, but want it all to look nice for photos.

    Yes, it would look better if the shoes matched. My FH told is guys they can wear their own shoes so long at they're black.

    And your kids probably won't need jackets.

    Hi Christie!

    Firstly, everything sound so well coordinated. Love plum for a fall wedding!

    As you mentioned, this really is about your own personal preference! I agree with your sister Smiley smile

    Personally, I would ask the guys all to wear a matching color shoe. I wouldn’t feel the need for it to be the same shoe, just the same color. For the ushers, I would leave them without jackets to show off the suspenders!

    Are your bridesmaids wearing plum also?
