Tuxedo Advice

Caitlyn, on June 23, 2019 at 7:20 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

Our wedding colors are ivory, navy blue and taupe-blush (quicksand rose to be exact). I don't know squat about tuxedos or menswear. Our wedding is black tie optional so all men in the party need to wear a tux. Any pictures or ideas you can share with me about what colors I should use, style of tux, and/or how to differentiate my FH, my father and the groomsmen? Thanks!

    What color are your girls wearing? The quicksand rose? I like navy tuxes, and you can have FH wear a different colored vest and/or tie/bow tie, and same with your dad if you want him in the same color tux as the GM. Does your FH have a color preference for his tux and GM? Would he consider an ivory tux and his GM in Navy? Grey and Black are always options too if you don’t want them in navy or your girls are wearing navy.

    I would do navy or black tuxes. Those are both classic colors and always look good. I would do a standard tux, not one with tails or anything. Maybe have the bridal party in navy tuxes and dads in black? Or FH in one color and the rest of the men in the other?

    My fiance is standing out by having a tie and pocket square in ivory to match my dress. His tie is also a little more fancy and has a striped pattern. The groomsmen are having solid colored ties and pocket squares to match the bridesmaids dresses. I personally don't like the look of colored vests. They are all wearing grey tuxes with the vest in the same gray material. The dads are wearing their own suits. I know my future father in law is wearing a tie the same color as future mother in law's dress. I don't think my parents are coordinating.

    Hi Hannah, Thanks for that. Those are great ideas. Is you FH wearing a white shirt with an ivory tie or is it the same color shirt and tie?

    I want to say they are white, but I don't remember. We got rentals at Men's Warehouse, and they do the whole package. We picked everything from shoes to cufflinks, but I don't remember a choice in shirt colors.

    We are only doing pants, shirts, vests, and ties. The pants will be gray, my FH will be wearing a sage green vest and tie, the best man is wearing lavender vest and tie, groomsmen wearing plumb vest and tie, my father is wearing gray everything and all white shirts. I like the idea of Navy tuxes with white shirts and a mix of your colors to differentiate.
