Hey ladies, this question may seem kind of silly, but it has caused alot of contraversy with my parents. My FI wants to wear a tie (just a reguar tie, not a bowtie) that is the same color as the bridesmaids dresses, which is kind of a light purple color called boysenberry. I think this is a great idea. However, my parents think it is rediculous. My mom says that the groomsmen can wear hat color tie, but my FI should wear a black or white tie. If he wears a purple tie she thinks it will look "tacky." He is wearing a white shirt (he isnt wearing a traditional tux, just a suit jacket and pants with a white shirt) so he does not want to wear a white tie because it would blend in, and he doesnt like the idea of a black tie. My compromise that I came up with is that if a purple tie is so offensive to them (who knows why) I siggested that he wear a light blue tie to match my something blue (plus, he has aborible blue eyes that just POP whenever he wears blue
) So what do you guys think? Is a black or wwhite tie a must for the groom, or can he go for a more colorful option?
