    Our colors for our wedding are going to be Navy with Orange, I do not care for brown tux's and do not want to do black and navy so I that charcoal would be perfect.  However, I have not been able to find Charcaol Tuxedo's, has anyone else or do you have any suggestions?

    My girls' dresses are Navy and the men will be in black tuxes.  I've seen it done, and am obviously biased for it... if you haven't seen pictures of those colors together, don't rule it out just yet!  

    But, if you're totally against it I think charcoal tuxedos will be hard to find... you might want to opt for a nice suit instead.  The bonus with that is the Mr. gets to keep it.

    Dark gray suits would be a lot easier to find.

    I would go with grey or navy suits.  That way they'll get to keep them afterwards.

    Navy & Grey are a hot combo! I agree that a charcoal suit will be a lot easier to find though :)

    Check out J.Crew for starters. They have a lot of great looking and well-fitted suits.

    Also, you could do Brooks Brothers, but they're a lot more expensive, iirc.
