NEED HELP WITH GROOM'S/GROOMSMEN'S ATTIRE!

holliliden

my dress is cream with an ivory overlay. in person, i feel like the cream color is just a bit darker than it looks in photos. my fiance doesn't want to wear black, especially not in June! I am open to any and all suggestions! I need your help! 

My bridesmaids are wearing pale pastels, also. (mint green, blush, peach, yellow..)

I think a nice grey suit or even a navy suit would be a great option.

i was thinking navy! and then i could tie in navy blue somewhere in my accessories! he does look good in blue. he originally wanted to wear light blue/blue-grey, but i don't know how that would work? now that i found my dress...

the groomsmen probably arent going to wear full suits... i think it would be too hot, and they won't wear them for the most part anyway.. should they wear navy pants as well? and maybe have a matching tie to the bridesmaid? or maybe brown pants?

 I would have them wear navy pants to coordinate with the groom.  Just know that if they aren't wearing jackets then bouts are not necessary.

ahhh.. i didn't think about that. we just don't want to have our bridal party spend so much money on attire.. trying to make it as cheap as possible for them.. but still look good! i like the idea or suspenders.. but i dont think they'd go for it haha

Have you considered purchasing their ties for them?  That way you save them a bit of money and then can use the ties to add in some of your other colors or use it as a way to match the BMs since you won't have bouts to do that.

But I think the GMs just wearing nice slacks, a white shirt, and a tie would be nice next to your FI in his suit

we aren't very traditional. so i figured the groomsmen just wear nice shirts and slacks would be fine.. but i wanted to get some second opinions. 

i will definitely have to pick out the ties for them! haha, we don't trust them to do this haha, plus, my fiancé is colorblind.. so it's all on me, i guess! haha the bridesmaids dresses will be more casual than formal anyway.

I  love the way gray suites look. I think it would compliment your dress nicely.

light grey or a darker grey?

I think either light or dark grey would look lovely - light grey is going to give you a nice, airy feeling and dark grey will give an elegant feeling (IMO). My FBIL even found an awesome suit at Target - not sure if they have colors other than black at Target though.
