XP - Tux color and BM dress help!

Early on, I told my FI how lovely charcoal colored tuxes are. He pretty much said, "HECK NO, I'M WEARING ALL BLACK" immediately. I dropped it, figuring it's his day too and black is so classic! This was all when I thought I was going to do a dark plum color for my BM dresses.

Last week, I went BM dress shopping and fell in love with "mercury" and "pewter" colors at David's Bridal. That night, I told my fiancé how much I liked those colors more than the purple. He thought it was great. We went to the mall later and he wanted to stop into Savi Formalwear and told me to look at a tux he liked. Guess what? It was CHARCOAL! I asked him why he changed his mind and he said he had no idea how great the charcoal color looked in person. Now I feel like I need to go back to purple so there's a contrast. Having either mercury or pewter BM dresses and a charcoal tux will be too close in color, right? Or am I over thinking this?

Re: XP - Tux color and BM dress help!

  • I, personally, wouldn't prefer having charcoal tuxes and pewter dresses.  My dresses are pewter and we're doing black tuxes.  However, if you've got a swatch from the dresses, you can take them to the tux shop and see how the pewter and charcoal look together.  If one is a dark gray and the other a lighter gray, it might not look too bad.  I think if the're close to the same color but not the same, then it gets a little odd looking.

  • If he's stuck on doing charcoal I think I will go back to my original plan of having plum colored dresses. If he ends up liking black then I will probably do pewter. Knowing how my brain operates, I'll most likely change my mind multiple times.

  • I might be biased because my BM dresses WERE in the pewter color from DB...hah... But I don't think it would be that weird? I mean, lots of people do black BM dresses and then have black tuxes, ya know? Either way, I like the idea of comparing swatches. :)
