my lady asked if i wanted to organise my tux and my groomsmens attire myself. i stupidly said yes. she said that was fine as long as the colours matched her bridemaids colours. i'm hopeless at this stuff and so are my groomsmen. wedding is over 3 months away but still don't have the tuxs sorted.

her brides maids are wearing brown and pink.

advice, help, someone to tell me what to do would be appreciated.

  1. it doesn't take long at a tux shop.. if you bring samples of the colors in the wedding the store people can put something together for you. You have plenty of time to get this together.. set up and appointment for you and your groomsmen to meet at the tux shop.. and those that can't make it can go on their own.  


  2. If her bridesmaids are wearing brown and pink and she wants it to match then I think I would have the men wear chocolate brown tuxedos with pink vests and ties to match.  However, personally, I don't care for the chocolate brown tuxedos.  They are hugely popular, but I've always preferred men in black tuxedos.  

    Are the bridesmaids gowns, mostly pink with brown accents or mostly brown with pink accents?  If it's mostly brown with pink, then I think the chocolate tuxes are your best bet, but if the gowns are mostly pink, then you could easily stick with a black tuxedo and have pink vests and ties.  It would look lovely!

    You mentioned that the nearest tuxedo rental place is 6 hours away, so are you still planning to rent tuxedos or were you simply going to buy suits?  That's always a possibility as well.  If you are going to simply purchase suits, then take swatches of the gown fabrics to the store with you and ask them to find a nice match.

    Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!  

  3. Ask her how much she wants them to match. If she's letting you organize them she should be letting you organize. If she wants them to match she can get dragged along, because that's something *she* cares about. (I make my fiance come along to things he cares about and I don't).  

  4. I suggest you go to a Tux shop, and speak to the girls there, they'll have some ideas for you, and then ask your future Wife if she'd like to come and see what ideas you have (thanks to the tux girls). this way it shows YOU making and effort, and having an opinion, and you value her input and opinion, plus it gives her a chance to help you out too!

    but i suggest a deep tux (black or charcoal) with Pink cravat and accessories.  

  5. Here's what you do.  Go by yourself or your best friend to the tuxedo shop.  Take along color swatches of the girls dresses.  If your girlfriend doesn't have an extra swatch of the dress colors, ask her to take a swatch to a paint store to match up the swatch so that you have one set to take along to the tuxedo shop.  (Tell her to get extra paint samples for the cake decorator, flower shop and other needs.)  When you and your bestfriend go to the tuxedo place the shop will help you with everything.  They will show you the most popular tuxedos and acessories to go with what you want.  My opinion, I don't like tails on a tux.  I think they look silly. If you follow my advice you won't have any problems.  Have a great time at your wedding.

    Good Luck
