Color/Attire Question

SO... thanx to my good ole mama, I just realized that I have a SERIOUS problem!!! I NEED HELP!!!

The guys are wearing platinum:
{Not the exact color}
Their ties or whatever are going to a royal blue.

And my girls are wearing pistachio {MOH}/apple {BM}:

The guys don't wanna wear the shiny silver shoes, so they are wearing black shoes. And my girls were gonna wear GOLD shoes and accessories.

Now that I think about it, is it ok for them to have GOLD shoes and accessories and the dudes have on PLATINUM?! Can they wear silver and it still be pulled off? I just think the gold and pistachio is very pretty together.

HELP! TIA.

Now that I look at it, I don't even like the green and platinum! UGH!!!

    Do either the silver or the gold but not both. It's going to clash in terms of metals.


    I personally love the platinum against the pistachio, especially if it's more on the slate grey side

    Mixing the gold and platinum may not work well. I also think the platinum would work best with the pistachio dresses. Plus you could lighter the platinum if needed without clashing. Hope this helps.

    Exactly! I had the same issue at first. My girls were gonna wear gold shoes & accessories & guys were greyish tuxes. I quickly changed the gold to silver cause everything just looked all over the place at first.

    I agree you do one are the other, but don't clash the colors together.

    I would say you could do one or other but def not both. If I had to choose I would go with silver with the green dresses it actually looks more elegant and classy then the gold. Plus the guys are wearing platinum too so it would look better. My guy and his groomsmen are wearing platinum like gray tux and my girls are wearing eggplant color dresses. so their shoes will be silver.
