    My dress is ivory, my girls are wearing choc brown and carrying light pink roses. What color tux and tie should the guys wear? Is a black tux with brown tie ok? Any advice will help... Thanks

    They make tuxes in chocolate brown, if you can find them (and maybe don't mind being a little out of the box) the brown tuxes with a pink tie would look suuuuper cute. Otherwise, I'd go with black but avoid the brown tie. Black and brown can go together, but they may look a little close in color in photos.

    Okay, I am having the EXACT same problem currently. We are using the same colors. My BMs have Truffle Dresses and we are carrying light and med pink roses with hot pink dasies. If you find anythng please let me know! I thought it would look great with brown tuxes and light pink vests and ties and my bm's all agreed now to just see it put together, what if you dont like it in the end?

    The problem with brown tuxedos is matching the shade of the dresses. Then, if you do find a nice match, it's a LOT of brown. Black tuxedos with brown accessories look great, and you can tie in the pink with the boutonniere.

    Mrs. Dumpling had a similar color scheme. The girls wore chocolate brown dresses. It looks like the guys were in khaki. I think it looks great, but whether or not you can pull it off would depend on the venue and how traditional the wedding is. Here is a link to one of her posts:

    Chocolate brown tuxedos are available pretty much everywhere.
