Who's doing suits, who's doing tuxes for the guys?

Colours?

Renting, buying, already owned?

    Ergh.... I don't know! I'm glad you asked! I want to see what everyone else says!

    My FI is set on having this Sand colored Suit (or as he calls it, a Michael Westin suit) instead of a tux. The suit just does nothing for his complexion and makes him look kind of ruddy. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I don't think its the best option. I think it will kind of blend in with the sand at the wedding and not be the best choice.

    Plus our wedding color is Teal and it doesn't go so well with the Suit... and I really want him to have some color. He looks GREAT in black and dark blues, so I need to try to massage his ego into trying on something else.

    I'd love to hear if anyone else is having the same problem. (or similar... the guy not picking out what you thought/wanted he would.)

    we're doing tuxes from MW. We picked the Calvin Klein shadow stripe. And then as groomsmen gifts we got each one a tie to wear for the wedding and are letting them wear their own white shirt.

    Okay, now I'm even more confused than before. I don't know what a tux looks like.

    I'm going on Men's Wearhouse NOW.

    FI is wearing a Hugo Boss tux that he bought and looks incredibly handsome in. Its custom for his body....ahhhh he's so gorgeous.

    All the GM's and fathers (and male guests are encouraged to but not required bc our wedding is Black Tie) are wearing tuxes. If they already own them they can wear them (with FI's approval to make sure they match) if not, renting from MW.

    Black with skinny black ties and suspenders. No vests.

    I am going to be watching this as I am so confused on what to get. Are the dads wearing similar attire to the groom's party?
