Expresso brown with black tuxes?

So i was really excited about the color expresso brown (very dark) with pink sashes, until someone said....... how will that look next to black tuxes? wont it look odd. Now i am second guessing myself like crazy and i havnt seen anyother color i like as much. Maybe someone on here has pics of their bridal party together so i can an idea of what this looks like.
thanks a bunch
debi

I personally don't have pics, but try searching in the themes section of this site. I know I have seen pics where these colors look good.

It'll look great in the pictures.

People kept asking my sister in law the same question about her navy dresses and black tuxes -- and it looked great in the pics!

It's pretty difficult to clash with a tux.

My best friend got married a few years ago and her BMs wore dark brown dresses and the guys wore black tuxes and it looked totally fine. So fine, that I decided to have brown dresses also! I honestly never thought about it either until someone said the same thing to me! You will be fine! Everything will look great!

I'm doing espresso brown BM dresses as well but my girls are in champagne sashes. I have seen pics and it looks fine next to the tuxes. The men are wearing black tux with black vest and espresso brown tie...it looks awesome! See pic!

Re: Expresso brown with black tuxes?

I did brown and black-
I wa sworried at first, too- until Stacy and Clinton said that black and brown DO match. they are both neutrals. Calmed me a bit.
I think it looks great- sooo classy.
