Does this match?

I'm very close to ordering my bridesmaid dresses but I'm having trouble picking the color.  I've been leaning towards eggplant for a fall wedding.  However, if I decide on this color I'm not sure what I should do for the groomsmen vests.  I don't think I want the guys to wear eggplant.  Would silver vests for groomsmen and white for groom work?  Any suggestions or pictures?  Thanks:) 

Re: Does this match?

  • Yep silver for the GM would work, or even just black tux, black vest and tie with a white shirt would work, and then have the groom in black tux with all white vest/tie/shirt.  Pretty much whatever you and the groom want to do.

  • Silver works for me.  Otherwise if you got the right champagne that would work too.

  • SIlver and eggplant look nice together.
    So do several shades of green (olive for one)

  • My groomsmen are wearing eggplant... it looks nice... for what its worth...

    but yes that color combo sounds good, those are my colors... though I'm using ivory, not white
  • Silver would work well or ivory.

  • I hate silver. I don't know why. I was going to suggest greens as well.

  • I agree with pps that they would match.  You're fine using them together.
  • Yep, that works.

  • THanks for the suggestions.  Sorry just realized I posted this to the wrong board.  First post!
  • I', like pumpkin and personally am not a fan of silver, but it would match. I think a green color, champagne/tan or just black would be nice too.

    That's okay!  This one's pretty much a catch-all so feel free to ask questions.

  • I also like silver, and I also like greens.  Just depends on what you all choose.

    Good luck!
