Ok so we are getting married some time in fall 2011 (date TBD - hopefully soon!) and I was thinking that I love burnt orange or a type of red for my girls, but has anyone heard of/seen the groomsmen being in chocolate brown? If so, did you like it?

    I haven't seen it in person, but like the idea of chocolate brown suits for the fall!  I'd go the suit and tie route instead of brown tux, but I'm partial of course - we did tan suits.  IMO, if you do tuxes, you should alway do black.

    I say a brown suit with a burnt orange tie would look awesome against girls in burnt orange dresses.  What I think would look even better is a platinum or gray colored suit with burnt orange ties...love that combo.  Still autumn-ish, but more modern.
    Pasted some pics of both below :)

    hmm I dunno if I could picture a chocolate brown suit or tux but I think tan would be really nice with a fall colored tie...

    I'm having the groomsmen rent brown tuxes from men's wearhouse. You can mix and match colors. I was going to have them buy brown suits but I didn't want everyone to have to spend a lot.

    My Husband and his groomsmen wore chocolate brown tuxes in our wedding last weekend.
    They wore like a bone or champagne colored vest with a fucshia tie and it looked really awesome.
    My girls also wore dresses that were champagne, fuschia and chocolate brown so they coordinated really well.

    I don't have any pro-pics back yet but here are a couple of pics that the guys are in so you can see.

    I agree with Jesibel- I love the look of a grey suit with an orange tie.
