We are having an outdoor, very informal wedding and my FI doesn't want to wear a black tux. I totally agree with him. It's at the end of summer and he'd boil, but also it just doesn't fit with what we want our wedding to be like. He initially wanted grey, but next to my ivory dress, it just didn't look right.
Cut to the tux shop where my mom and bridesmaid are trying to scope out some tuxes. FI any I live in another city so couldn't go with them. Mother is bouncing from black to charcoal to navy blue, all colours I'd already said weren't right for us. I said to her, can she look at some in beige, tan or other summery neutrals, preferably in a linen? Now she is acting like I insulted the ones she liked. Can anyone back me up on a light coloured suit looking good with an ivory dress? I've found a couple of pictures, but it's so hard to tell on a computer screen. Ivory dress brides, what are your men wearing? Our bridesmaids' dresses are plum purple.
