men's ivory tuxedo

sadiemaea1

wondering if there would be any problem with my fiance wearing an ivory tux. his mother says no way, but my dress is ivory with a gold lace overlay over the whole gown and I think an ivory tux might look nice with it. However, i may have no idea what im talking about! Thanks!

What does he want to wear?  This isn't really for you or his mother to decide.

I don't get the attitude that absolutely NO ONE but the groom should have any say in his attire.  My fiance and I discuss everything and come to a consensus.

Obviously the final decision is his, but it is perfectly reasonable for a bride and even the groom's mother to voice her opinion on his attire.

I mean all of the wedding party's looks should coordinate in general formality and style.

As for the ivory tux, If you are talking about an (off)white dinner jacket, or a linnen suit or some other classic look at a summer wedding, then I like that look.  Otherwise I think the whole white suit/tux thing looks cheesy.
