    Please give me your thoughts on these outfits. I really would like to see my FI in the white suit because I think it is fitting for a prince :) However, am not sure if it would be too much because my dress is white also. Will we just blend together in our pics?

    I like the gray suit as well, but feel it is a bit more casual. I have not decided on my wedding theme colors (fuchsia & purple vs purple & lavender) but think this would be nice with the purple & lavender theme.

    By the way, I am leaning more towards the fuchsia & purple theme.

    The black suit is very formal, and more typical. Which tux do you like better and/or do you think would be more appropriate for my color themes in mind?

    I have attached a pic of my dress so you can get a better idea of how we will look together. Feel free to check out my other posts to see pics of the color themes.

    Being incredibly persnickety, none of those is a tux. They're all gorgeous three piece suits, but a tuxedo is a very specific type of suit jacket.

    I think it would be better to pic your other colours and then decide. I'd either go for the black or the grey (white is so easily marked), although my personal preference would be the black.

    @SpecialSundae:

    Thanks! I made the the appropriate edit(s). I think I am going to go with Fuchsia and Purple. These are my inspiration pics. I hope it helps.

    I love the high contrast of the black and white especially with rich colors like fuchsia and purple.

    White tuxes always look like a costume to me.

    Also, does it make a difference if I was planning to have the groomsmen wear black? Won't my groom look just like the rest of the guys if he is wearing black and white?

    IMO, the groomsmen and groom all need to have matching pants and jackets, even if they have different colored accessories.

    If you are getting married in the day time, the gray is awesome. We are using similar colors and I wanted FI to wear gray, but he doesn't want to.  If its an evening ceremony, I'd go for black, its more formal.

    @hunnybee123: All my guys wore black and white.  I did DH with a black tie and the guys with a patterned black tie.  DH had a white pocket square and the guys had ones that matched their ties. That is how I seperated them.  You can also do different bouts if you are planning to use those.

    I like white or black for his color, with your wedding colors so vibrant I would want it to pop against him. I don't think grey would work.

    I think definately the black, I like grey suits, but not with a shiney grey tie and a waist coat, I think if you are going for a shiney tie like that with a waist coat it has to be black, a grey suit would look great without a waist coat and with a lavender or pastel coloured tie, like this (see below) as pp have said it looks better if all the men are in the same coloured suit and are distinguished by their ties and accessories

    It sounds like that is the norm then. The groomsmen and groom's suits match. Although, they may have different accessories. Thank you for all the feedback! I did not know that! How interesting, no one has voted for the white suit! I guess I was way off..

    @hunnybee123: Actually the more I think about it a grey suit would look great, just minus the waist coat and with a lavender or light silver matt tie, like Beckham above.

    I do like that gray suit David Beckham is wearing. It looks very sophisticated, but am not sure about it for the fuchsia and purple theme. Hmmm, maybe I should go with the purple and lavender theme instead.. Not sure!

    Black!! I think it definitely suits the feel of your dress perfectly. 

    Plus, only a bride should wear white to a weddng!

    I chose grey...but I'd like to see a much darker grey...like a heather grey.
