First Anniversary 5 Love Its First Answer Name Dropper
in African American Weddings
Im in need of a little advice from all of you lovely brides aka My Knot Sistahs.....So since ive been on this wedding jorney ive been a little back and forth with colors but still basically coming back to my purple colors..and then i find out that not one but two friends are getting married and plan on using these similar colors so wtbs after talking to my planner/coordinator that advised me to stick  with my colors since we will be putting our own twist to it....
Soooo now im officially sticking with the following colors which will be MAGENTA, PLUM PURPLE & SOFT PINK....but now im in need of knowing should i use black or silver when it comes to the guys....so any suggestions and or pictures are greatly appreciated.

    Go with Silver. There is something that I call Trendy Classic when they are in Gray. Black tuxs dont have much originality.....to me unless you are going to do some special socks, ties, etc.

    My colors are soft Pink & Grape Purple. My guys are wearing Gray tux. My accent colors are silver. I chose Gray cause its a summer wedding too.

    T I'm biased but I like dark colors with berries.  I think black is a perfect contrasting color and navy is a perfect blending color <-- actually this color's my preference because purple is made from navy and pink is made from purple so it always looks really garanimalsy (which I dig). 






















    eta:  there's no reason brides have to pick just 2 or 3 colors, all of the colors you named are on the same side of the color wheel palette, you could have accents of each of them without it looking like too much.  the picture directly above this:  pink, purple, silver, black and champagne.

    whatever combos you can come up with, type em all in a search engine and your return should be just like that.  pinterest and weddings by color help a lot too.

    I using Wisteria as my main color ie the girls are going to be dressed in that color. I'm using black and silver for the kids to put my own spin on it. In my head it works so we shall see what happens when I start shopping for them

    this is highly personal because, I, me, sultry, can't look at a man in a black tux without thinking:  waiter.  that's me. without the champagne, this actually was my color palette - the guys were going to be dressed in navy suits, white shirts and ties that look like the picture of the card above that says pink/purple.
