Who else is doing tuxedos in colors other than black to coordinate better with BM colors?

I think that fall is a perfect time to do a tux in Navy, Dark Brown, Dark Grey or maybe even Light Grey.  Some BM dress colors just don't look right with Black (like navy or brown tones or even orange. Orange and black just seem a little halloween-ish - not that there's anything wrong with that, if that's the look that you're going for.)

I know that there are those who think that a tux is only black. That opinion aside -- Who all is doing a tux color other than black? And what color are you coordinating it with?

My guys will be in cream while my husband will be in white! Our colors are espresso, kiwi, violet with accents of gold (I know it sounds like a lot, but together, they are breath taking!!!

Yes, we are doing dark grey with my fi in light grey or tan but I'm still stuck on that one. I like the light grey suits I have seen online but I can't really find any light grey tuxes I like. The CK grey just doesn't look right to me

Did you look at the Vera Wang gray? It's really nice!

I saw this Vera Wang and I think that it's feminine looking. On a big, teddy-bear type it would look downright ridiculous, IMO. It would accentuate his midsection and look like the jacket (like this one) is too small. When the choice is looking ridiculous or appearing feminine, it's a safe bet that groomsmen are going to hate it. Again IMO.

We are doing a formal daytime wedding and are using the dark grey morning coat styles for formal weddings before 5pm.  They are super nice.  You can find them at Savvi formalwear but I had to specifically ask for them, because many people do not know about that particular style I guess or it is just not that popular anymore.

They come with ascots but instead of doing the acsots which come in only a few colors/designs, we are using ties and pocket squares to pull the dark parple of the BM dresses into the overall picture.  I can't wait to see it all together.  I just have to fine the BM dress to be able to match the color up...lol.  We are deciding on 8/4/2012 on the dresses.
