July 2012 Weddings

Tuxes

So I thought we had this checked and done. I had my FI tell his groomsmen that they needed to be fitted by the end of april to make sure everything was in order and such. So he goes to tell his groomsmen, and tells them we picked out gray tuxes, and they hate it. Our colors are pink, white and silver, so I thought the gray would coordinate nicely and they would stay cooler in july heat in a gray tux rather than black. 
But 2 of GM, including BM said they would either wear gray or pink, not both. and they especially dislike the gray. I orginally didnt like the gray vests with the suit so i chose pink, but I'll compromise to a gray vest and pink tie. 

Am I being a bridezilla about this; or do the GMs not really have a say anyway? 
and heres a link the gray suit- but with all pink. it wont let me pick a different vest and tie. *click*
Any advice is helpful ladies. TIA!

Re: Tuxes

  • I have never heard of groomsmen giving feedback on a tux rental that was picked out for them - it sounds to me like they are being more of groomsmen-zillas than you are being a bridezilla in this case!! Why in the world don't they like grey tuxes?? I could understand a groomsmen griping about having to wear a pink vest (not that this would mean he shouldn't suck it up and wear it anyway!) but most guys love grey pants/suits/etc., so I find this very odd!

    I wasn't clear from your original post on what the tux rental is right now - grey tux, pink vest, and pink tie? but you are willing to compromise to grey  tux, grey vest, and pink tie, is that correct?
  • What does your FI think?  I dont really think its the groomsmens choice, honestly.  We are doing black tux, black shirt with bright pink vest and tie.  My FI likes how it looks & so do I so if we were having a wedding party (we are not) the groomsmen would have to wear it even if they didnt love it.  I dont personally love the gray tux but if you and your FI like it then do it.

  • It's really not up to them so I would tell them sorry you feel that way but this is what you are wearing and it is not up for discussion.  We are doing a grey tux with a grey vest and pink tie here is pic.  Maybe go for a darker grey tux and they won't mind as much?

  • Yeah, what LADY said. I've never heard of GM's griping about what they had to wear. I'd just tell them that they really don't have a say in the matter and you'd rather they keep their rude opinions to themselves. I think it's so odd though that they're putting up a stink about it. That just seems like something a guy would NEVER do.

  • Does FI like the gray and the pink?? If he does then that is all that matters.  We didnt even ask the groomsmen what they thought nor have they asked us what they are wearing they are just going and getting fitted.  I agree they have no say and just need to suck it up!
  • I agree with what the other have said.  This is your wedding and your bridal party should respect that.  If your FI and you have chosen what you like for the tuxes and you don't want to make any changes then you shouldn't.  Ultimately the decision is up to the two of you.

  • As PP said, I think it's up to you and your FI. I don't think you are being a bridezilla. The GM don't really get a say and I'm surprised they even said anything.

  • yeah..i agree with everyone...I love the tux btw...I think it'll be awesome!
  • I also agree with everyone else.  They agreed to be groomsmen and therefore shouldn't question what you are asking them to wear!  Maybe they just feel they are too macho to wear the pink (i can't imagine it has anything to do with the grey really). 

    Are you going to tell them to keep the whole tux on during the reception?  Or can they remove the tie after pics/entrance?  If so tell them that  maybe,  that way they won't feel like they'll be wearing pink all night. 

    God, what divas!

  • Thanks guys! FI doesn't really have an opinion on the issue; he'll go with whichever. especially since his vest and tie will be white anyways. I just needed reassurance I wasn't being too crazy. We'll probably go with a gray tux with a gray vest and pink tie then.
