I've agreed (as much as a bride can) not to put too much thought into this yet, but I have a question. Our colors, as of now, are a deep pink and black. We ordered the BM dresses in deep pink (or European Watermelon, if I want to sound snooty :-). The groomsmen vests will match. I hear through the grapevine FFIL won't wear a pink vest (as he wouldn't in his other son's wedding), so I think we will put the FOB and FOG in black vests.
This leaves FI. I often see grooms in white vests. He wants something in color. I don't really want to put him in the same color as the groomsmen. He also doesn't want to be in a black vest, as he "doesn't want to look like a penguin." I assured him he wouldn't, but so is his view of black or white. His other thought, is a white tux, in which case, I wouldn't have a problem with the same vests as the groomsman, as he will have the tux color distinction. I am not sure I am completely on board with a white tux, though.
So I'm asking for your thoughts on the white tux, as well as any thoughts of what other colors would go with the deep pink and black, to help distinguish him if we did go with a black tux. I realize it's pretty obvious he's the groom, but still want him to have something distinct from the others.
Ok, yes, I've put too much thought into it. Blame it on bride brain.
