Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

What color are the GMs ties and vests? At first I thought they should be brown but then realized that might look weird. What are you girls doing?

The BM are wearing chocolate tea length dresses with pink flowers. The guys will have ivory flowers. My MOH thinks they should wear ivory shirts with black ties, vest and jackets. I agree but my FMIL thinks they need to tie in w/the BMs and wear something brown. EEK!

in my friends wedding last year we wore chocolate brown dresses and they guys wore white shirts & black ties/vests!

HTH

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

I also had them wear black vests and ties for a classic, elegant look.

Men's Wearhouse, though I am unsure of their quality has great choices under seasonal...I will try to insert the link to "Fall".

Men's Wearhouse Tux

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

My girls are wearing brown satin dresses.... I have the guys in a black tux, white shirt and Textured brown tie and vest...this way it's not an overwhelming amount of brown. Good Luck!!

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

They are either wearing black vests/ties or an antique gold. I have to see it on FH first. lol

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

I think the ivory or the black vests would be nice- imo the ivory shirt looks weird, so I would have them wear a white one- for some reason the color looked off to me (like it was dirty or something)

you could also get a tie for the groomsmen that has black and brown pattern-no pun intended- to tie everything together

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

My dress is ivory so I thought they couldn't wear white.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

Im getting married next August and my girl will be in all shades of browns. My guys will either wear black with taupe or camel or Brown tuxes, FH wants them.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

I am having the same issue, we are at a loss. AHHHH

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

I think our GM will be wearing a brown textured vest from men's wearhouse tux. the BM dress is a truffle colored dress from david's, and men's wearhouse matches those colors identically, so we are going there next week. I think the ties will be striped brown and black? I might rent them, or we might buy fh's and the GM's. it depends on the options and if I like one they have or if I want to buy a nicer one.

FH will wear white tie, white vest or maybe silver, and then the dad's are wearing black ties, black vest.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

My girls are wearing Espresso and the GMs will be wearing ivory shirts, champagne vests/ties since the Jr. BMs are wearing champagne.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

They are wearing a black tux, brown vest, and black/brown striped tie.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

doing black vests with like a tan, black and brown striped tie.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

My guys are wearing black vests with a pink tie since my colors are brown and pink. My girls dresses are brown though. Flowergirl is pink and my flowers are pink.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

where are you getting the tux from?
look at their ties...

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

My BMs are wearing euro-satin chocolate brown tea-length dresses with champagne sashes.

The GMs are wearing brown vests with brown ties, the best man and man of honor are wearing ivory and brown vests with brown ties, and FH is wearing an ivory vest and ivory tie.

My dad and FFIL are wearing black vests and ties.

It is the same vest and tie for all but in different colors. They are all wearing ivory shirts.

I brought a swatch of the BMs dresses with me and the tuxedo place matched it.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

we're doing a yellow tie with orange and brown stripes. Matches our fall theme, the girls will be wearing yellow earrings and necklaces.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

my girls are wearing chocolate brown dresses.
the guys are wearing black tuxes with black and brown striped vests and ties. it looks awesome together. we got them at bonaventure.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

My girls are wearing chocolate brown dresses with a latte sash. For the guys, I think we're just going to do the classic black tuxedo look with the white shirts and black vest/ties.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

We are actually doing cinnamon/burnt orange vests so that the girls flowers pop....our colors are brown and burnt orange...we hope it works

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

My girls are wearing Espresso Brown and my FH chose for the guys to wear taupe tuxes. I was unsure at first but after a few of them tryed them on together they look great. They don't have them every where. Check out Town & Country in Wantagh. I was originally going to do black tuxes with Ivory ties and vests.

Re: Brown Bridesmaid Dresses GIRLS! HELP!

My girls wore truffle and the men wore truffle ties and vests and it looked great! DH wore a white tie and vest, as did the RB, but all the others wore the truffle. I have some pics in my album.
