Girls are in chocolate brown dresses...Groomsmen???

acarreir

Hi everyone! I just recently had to change my color scheme slightly. I really wanted burnt orange dresses for my girls, but unfortuantely fell in love with a dress that doesn't come in that color. I'm having a fall wedding and really like the earthy tones...brown, dark orange, wine, extra. I need some help with the groomsmen now. I am planning on having them wear tuxedos but can they wear black ones? If so, can the vests be brown or should they be a champagne/ivory color? Please help!!

Thank you!

Your GMs can definitely wear black tuxedos.  Honestly a tuxedo, IMO, should only be black.  If you want to go with another color then you most certainly have them wear a nice three piece or two piece charcoal/gray suit.

For their vests, I don't really like chocolate brown vests with black tuxes.  I think champane would be nice but so would just a nice black vest as well.  You can add a punch of color with their bouts.

<div>I completely agree with Maggie.  Tuxes should be black.  A black vest would be fine, or champagne would be nice too.   Not brown.   </div><div>

My MOH has a chocolate brown dress, and the BMs have choco brown sashes.

The men are wearing black suit pants, white shirts, black vests, and light brown ties (except the BM, he has a sky blue tie). My fiance was worried about mixing black and brown, but they look great, and compliment the women very nicely

I think black tuxes would be prefectly fine.
