Gray or Black Tuxes

FutureMrsSheeler

Would you girls choose gray or black tuxes for a watermelon pink, and plum purple outdoor wedding?
FI likes Black more, just because I think he's afraid of something different.
I really like the gray, its modern, and more casual to me.
Also, what color bridesmaid dress would you choose with gray tuxes, pink or purple?
Vote for what you think, and any comments would be great

I think either would look just fine with your other colors. However, I see that your wedding is about a year and a half away, so I think you have plenty of time to sleep on it for a while and decide when it gets a bit closer.

I am probably partial to black tuxes, but that is just me. I think with the watermelon, pink and plum, it would really make the colors pop.

Go with black, it's classic, and it should really be your FI's choice anyway since he has to wear it. There's nothing outright wrong with grey, but it could look dated in a few years, and lighter colors also show defects and fit problems more easily.

I'd have your ladies wear plum, and work the pink in through their flowers. Plum is pretty universally flattering, and you'll have more floral options that way. Not too many flowers come in purple.

FI should choose, but I like black too. And I think there's a reason guys on the red carpet wear black tuxes 99.9% of the time: it's sharp and timeles.

Black is timeless.  Gray is more trendy, and trends look dated 10 years down the road (remember the powder blue tux with the ruffle shirt?).

I would do and am doing black.

Hope this helps!  Also you do have lots of time and ultimately, you can do what you want, it's up to you, but if your groom wants black, it's nice to respect his wishes--for his attire only!;) LOL!

Good luck!

If he wants black, then that's what you go with since it's his attire.

And FWIW, I would also choose black if it were up to me.

I think Black, but it really should be your FI's choice.  J and I have together discussed tuxes.  I gave him suggestions and input, and he gave suggestions as well.  However, I did let him know that in the end it is his choice.

I'm making FI try on certain color vests for his tux, but ultimately if he doesn't like it- then its his choice.  I wouldn't want him dictating the color of my wedding dress.

FI really wanted to wear Grey, but you could only really rent one style of grey tux around here, it wasn't exactly what he wanted, and they looked a little cheap. He was going to purchase a grey suit, but then there was the question about what to do with the groomsmen.

So he's decided to go black, I agree with the others, if you're renting them black will hide fitting issues.

This is your FI's call.  He wants black, so black it is.

I agree with PP on classic black vs. trendy grey.
