Picking colors that you can find in tux vests & ties...

I picked slate blue, black, and pearl white as my colors. When I went to the store to find a tux vest to match the bridesmaid dresses I picked I found out that there were only 4 tones of blue and like 40 of pink!!! I was so disappointed I checked all over finding nothing close to my blue. A friend finally suggested getting black vests and buying the blue ties in a suit store as a present to the groomsmen. I'm so thankful for friends having great ideas!!

Amen, sister! lol. Friends are great sources!

Did you look at all at Men's Warehouse? I don't know what their selection in blue is, but of the places around here, they have by far the widest color variety.

I've always found matchy matchy dresses and tux vests to be super prom-like. Black vests and ties are so classic and sharp looking, and will never be out of style.

I love the idea of the black vest with a matching tie from a department store!!

I like the idea of the blue tie and black vest, but I wouldn't give them as a present to the groomsmen. Anything the bp has to wear for the wedding isn't really a gift to them...
