Coordinating my tiny bridal party

We are only having a Maid of Honor and Best man, along with two flower girls in our bridal party.

The colors are gold with green accents (November wedding)

My gown is off-white with gold accessories, and my fiance with in a back tux with a gold on gold paisly print. http://pinterest.com/pin/263882859387008140/

My MOH is wearing a hunter green organza gown with a gold sash and accessories.

The flower girls are in gold.

I'm at a loss as to what to put the Best man in. He will also have a black tux. I'm worried if he wears gold he'll look too much like the Groom. Should I do green? Can he nix the vest and just do a gold tie? Or will that not work with a tux?

  • If you're worried about matching the groom you could put the best man in a black vest and tie.  

    FWIW my FI, his best man (his dad), my dad and our ushers are all wearing the same tux.  I don't think that anyone will confuse who the groom is at a wedding just by dressing them the same.

    You could pu him in green if you want, it'd look nice. Honestly, since it's such a small wedding party, I'd just go with whatever looks best on him (as in, I know my FI's best man looks great in green but crappy in gold, so I'd put him in green) If he doesn't look good in either, I agree that black vest and tie is a good way to go.

  • A black vest and tie is always classic. Colored ones always remind me of prom.

  • The best man is unfortunately out of state, so I have to do this without seeing him in anything. But he's flexible is willing to do whatever we decide. Thanks for you thoughts!

  • Hi,
    We are also only having only a best man and maid of honor! Both my fiance and his best man will both be wearing grey tuxes but the best man will be wearing plum (our colors are plum and gold) accents (vest & tie) and my fiance will be wearing just white accents. I suppose either of them could pass as the groom, lol...but we figured since plum is the accent color (i.e. my maid of honor is wearing plum) it makes sense for the best man to also wear plum, then then both me and my fiance will be the ones in white and/or white accents. 

    Good luck!
