    Hi Hive,

    I have a huge favor to ask all of you, Our bridesmaids are wearing navy dresses with a teal trim. My fi and I are trying to figure out what the guys should wear that would go best with the navy. I said they could get back tux with navy vests but he's not sure...help!

    Let us know what you think will work best.

    I would do black tuxes with black vests and a teal tie.  Very classy look, IMO.

    Every wedding I've seen with navy BM dresses, the GM have been in black and it looks really nice.

    Gray suits with navy dresses would be pretty sharp, too! Not sure if you want to go in that direction.

    I vote for gray suits! But on the poll I voted for black tuxes. I don't think you should mix black and navy on the tuxes, and I think black will look classiest.

    I agree with gray suits the most. However, I am not one who thinks that black and navy should be kept separate, so I voted for that.

    I agree with gray, even though it's not a choice. I never put black and navy together.

    Black and navy is very sharp, we see it quite a bit. Navy suits/tuxes is a bit of a crapshoot, since there are shades of "navy" (midnight, marine, etc). You get a lot of color flexibility when there's only a bit of vest and tie (or just tie) showing. Gray suits/tuxes is a nice option too

    We're also doing navy BM dresses and our GMs will be in black tuxes, no vest, black bowtie.  we didnt' want to get too matchy matchy.  a black tux is classic and will go with anything.
