Men's Warehouse - Ivory Shirts

I need some help! When I initially met with Men's Warehouse to pick out the tuxes for my fiance and groomsmen they suggested that everyone wear ivory shirts since my dress is an ivory/champagne color. My fiance picked up his tux and everything looks great because he has an ivory shirt with ivory vest and tie. However, the groomsmen have ivory shirts with black vest and tie. When they picked up there tuxes a few of them said the ivory shirt looked dingy next to the black. I am worried how this will photograph. Has anyone else used the ivory shirts? My wedding is this Saturday and it may to late to change anything now anyway,

    Someone posted about this awhile ago....I think they said that the ivory shirts looked yellow. I'm not sure how it would photograph though...sorry.

    My dress was diamond white with ivory beaded lace and we used white shirts because the ivory shirts looked dingy in the store when we picked out the tuxes. The dress and the shirts looked the same color in life and in photos. You might be able to get the shirts changed to white- if they can overnight missing tux pieces they should have the ability to easily change the shirt color.

    I have a diamond white dress and we are going with white shirts from MW.  My sister got married in Fall 08 and she had an ivory dress and the guys wore ivory shirts.  I thought the ivory color on the shirts were kinda darkish/yellowish.  I thought it looked fine with the groom's tux (ivory vest) and the groomsmen (bronze vests).  The dads/ushers' vests were black and when I first saw them, I thought the colors looked kind of off to me because of how dark ivory they were.  In pictures though I didn't think it looked too bad.  I think it would depend how dark your dress is, if it is truly champagne, then a bright white might look off from your dress.  You could go into mens wearhouse and check stuff out, maybe bring your dress in.  Hope this helps!  Here is the link to my sister's bio if you want to look at pics of the shirts.

    I don't know about the ivory looking yellow, but I do know that with the MW you have until 4pm on Friday to make any changes for them to get it in Sat morning (providing your wedding isn't too early and/or the MW isn't too far away). We just got married last month, H wore diamond white shirt and tie. GM's wore silver shirts and ties to match the BM's shoes which were all silver.
