Wedding Colors

I'm not sure of the best place to post this question...but here goes.

What neutral color would you put with tangerine and hot pink? I really want to use tan as the neutral. The guys are going to wear pants, vests, and button downs with the sleeves rolled up, and I really wanted them to wear matching tan pants and vests. However, I haven't been able to find any vests so far. Only gray or maybe brown, which I don't really want to use. Would gray look weird with the 2 colors? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

When using a neutral like tan or grey or black, any color will go just fine with.  They are called 'neutral' for a reason.

Ditto PP. I do like the idea of tan with tangerine and pink a bit more than those colors with gray or brown.

Cream would be pretty too

I didn't even think about that. In my normal life, I don't do cream. I prefer white. But cream, tangerine, and hot pink might look good! What would you suggest for the guys then?

A cream suit with a tangerine vest would look nice. You could incorporate the hot pink with a pocket square.

I would do cream too. It would be very pretty, plus you could go heavier on the colors if you wanted, or make it more subtle.

Tan would work:

Black, too:

Grey:


Or white/ivory/cream or something:

I would choose one of the following: tan, cream, ivory, white, or light grey. 

You could even do navy too, but depends if you want to "darken" the palate (vs. a light colour). The tangerine and pink would definitely pop off navy.

I think if you want to stay in the beige/tan family, cream may be easiest to find and will look very nice. Especially if you are trying to buy from a store rather than going to a tux shop. When I worked in a department store, we only had a certain number of each size in each suit we sold, but with about 4 weeks notice we could order the missing sizes to accommodate a large event. For spring/summer, we got in a very nice cream color, but all the tans we had were not solid, they had a sort of pattern to them... it's kind of hard to explain but they were on the darker side of the tan scale with a sort of a "burlap" look to them. If you live in/near DE, NJ, PA, or MD try Boscov's, that's where I used to work. If not, you could try Penney's or Macy's to see if they offer the same service in ordering vests for you. Hope this helps

My vote is for tan. Have you tried department stores?

Well, I just officially got engaged last Friday, and we have already purchased attire for 9 guys. (Whew!) Pants and matching vests. Navy with a very subtle white pinstripe. Also, doing button down shirts with the sleeves rolled up.
My colors will likely be a combination of tangerine, hot pink, and coral with some white and cream. Hoping it will all look good!

The guys will have boutonnieres that match the girls' dresses.

I hope you are having a very short engagement and the wedding is soon. Guys attire shouldn't be purchased more than a few months is advance.

I feel like when she said officially engaged she meant that she finally got a ring.  Because it isn't a true engagement until you have that bling **eye-roll**
