And the men wore grey....

I've talked an awful lot about my dress and my bridesmaid dresses. I struggled over what we, the girls, would wear because there are so many freaking options. For the guys, I really didn't give it much thought. Sorry boys!


My colors are (just to refresh your memory) navy and white with pops of a lime-y, apple-y green color. My girls will be in floor-length navy silk-shantung gowns. Since our wedding does fall a bit on the fancier side, I knew that I wanted the guys to be in tuxes. But not black tuxes. I personally don't like the way that navy and black look together, I think that it kind of looks like a bruise. Not exactly the look we are going for :/

Plus, both are really dark colors for a mid-July wedding and I didn't think it flowed with our overall theme. I still wanted it to be "summer-y". Then one day, a few months ago, I fell in love with these photos:

I loved the grey! And so did Keith, which is even more important since he is the one wearing it. They look light and summer-y but because they are tuxes, they still look formal. And as much as I love the stripe ties in the second photo, I love the solid navy better.


So we went to our local Men's Wearhouse a couple Saturdays ago to see what we had for options. We chose MW because they have locations everywhere and because they advertise a free tux rental for the groom with 5 other rentals. Since we need a total of 9 rentals, Keith's will be free. Score! Anyway, back to our visit...it turns out, we only have ONE option, so the choice was pretty much made for us.

We decided against the vest, and opted for a white tie for Keith (to match me of course) and navy blue ties for the groomsmen. I am so excited to see how handsome the boys looked all dressed up!

Anyone else agree with me on the whole black/blue thing? What are your guys going to wear?
