Crazy questions for Brides w/ Satin Gowns

This might seem like a crazy question but i need to ask. For all of you who have silk satin gowns in white how are you matching up your FH's tux shirt/tie/vest color? What i mean is i want my FH to wear a black tux with white vest, shirt and tie but, my gown, even though it is 'White' it is not 'bright white' b/c it is satin and the white of satin tends to be off. how will it look then against the white on my FH Shirt/tie and vest??? I am worried that my dress will not look white! i am being too paranoid! what is everyone else doing.? I cannot be the only one w/ this issue!

Re: Crazy questions for Brides w/ Satin Gowns

I think it will be fine because your dress and his vest/shirt won't be right next to each other -- they'll be separated by the black tuxedo jacket, you know? That's what I'm hoping anyway since FH is wearing a white vest too!

Re: Crazy questions for Brides w/ Satin Gowns

I have a silk satin gown....and I don't think its that big of a deal. I think it will look fine together with your hubbys tux. Yes, its not pure white, but I still think it will look fine. And as for it not looking white...I wouldn't worry. I think next to a white gown you can tell, but the bride is gonna be the only one in white!

Have I calmed you down a bit???

i was freaking out over here. i am o worried that his 'white' will look like 'stark white' next to mine, even though my gown is considered 'white'.....
All these little things we have to think about....

I am wearing diamond white chiffon- which is really off white and my FH is wearing a white shirt, tie and vest so don't worry.

Re: Crazy questions for Brides w/ Satin Gowns

I am personally against matching everything...I think it completely takes away from your own individiality. That said, my dress was silk satin (Italian. so it was really 'off') and my DH wore a white shirt with a striped tie in white, black, silver and gray. Pics in my review on the review board.

I know a person who ordered extra fabric from her dress manufacturer (which is the same as mine) to make the tie and vest for her husband's ensemble - something to consider if you have the money, time and skill to sew.

my fh is wearing white, the guy at the tux place said it's ok if its off becasuse you have the black jacket inbetwwen you two, its not really white on white. They do have satin vests too
