dark brown tuxes

hey girls!

our wedding colors are baby pink and espresso. the girls are wearing this dress by david's bridal:
it's in a color called "truffle" and i'm looking for tuxes to match. so far, i have only been able to find the jean yves one, and it is too light and looks almost bronze in the sunlight. also, i'm not a fan of the pinstripes:

that pic makes it look darker than it really is. it's pretty light brown.

this one from after six looks like it would be PERFECT, but i can't seem to find it!

anyone else get dark brown tuxes not by jean yves? please help!

thank you!!!

    Just curious... why brown tuxes instead of classic black (especially since brown ones are so hard to find)? IMO, brown dresses with black tuxes look great together. You could always accent the tuxes with pocket-squares in the same shade as the dress.

    Edited to add that my SIL had us wear coppery color dresses and the guys wore black tuxes and it looked super nice. I can try and dig up a pic if you'd like to see.

    Good luck!

    My brother and SIL also had brown dresses for the girls and black tuxes for the guys.  At first, I was very skeptical because... let's face it... black and brown?  I was pleasantly surprised to see how NICE it looked.  The guys had black tuxes with brown and black striped ties (that, or all brown... i can't recall as it's been 2 years), brown vests and brown pocket squares.  The look was very sharp.  However, if you still want to go with brown tuxes, I think they will look equally as nice.  Unfortunately, I'm not going to be of much help because I've never actually seen one in person before  :(

    thanks guys! :D yeah, that's our last resort (the black tuxes). i've seen a few pics by googling the brown and the black together and i guess i'm just not a fan :( i wish i was because it would be so much easier! but it just bothers me. also, our venue (club hillbrook in chagrin) doesnt really have much black on it either (just brown and white) cause it's a tudor mansion. so everything will be in our wedding colors except the black tuxes lol...i dunno, maybe i'm crazy, but i'm pretty particular about color (graphic designer) lol
