  Yes he wants to wear all red, white bottoms with red jacket or all white. He can be very difficult

  I think he will look like a cartoon. That being said, either will be fine as far as "matching" him.

  What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  I think he could wear white and you could wear ivory.  A lot of people think that white suits and/or button down shirts are better than ivory because ivory can appear dirty/dingy, example:

  

  Versus groom in white and bride in ivory:

  
  RE the red and white, it might look good, does your FI usually go bold with his style?

  I think he'll look ridiculous no matter which you wear. It's his call, but I would be seriously begging him to reconsider.

  He doesn't have to wear specific wedding colors though. Why doesn't he just wear a regular black, gray, navy, or tan suit?

  So much this.

  
  

  Unless he usually dresses in bold colors, him in a red jacket and white pants will just look...bad. And even if he does wear bold colors often, this isn't a Sunday afternoon in the Hamptons, this is a wedding.

  I feel like all the red white and blue will look a little too.. "'MERICA!". Does your FI normally wear bright colors?

  Can you get a swatch of the ivory dress? Some "ivory" dresses are really just a soft white. Here's an ivory jacket:

  
  

  

  
  

  That being said, out of all the options white is likely the best.

  Whatever you decide I hope that you can choose either white or ivory for both of you. I don't think it's a good idea to use both colors. Good luck!
