Bride & Groom Color Mismatch?!?

ok. i dunno what got into me but i just felt like using ^that as the title

i've finally picked my gown and it's absolutely B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! (can't post pic yet bec FI lurks here sometimes. darn.) i know most of the attention will fall on the bride as she walks down the aisle and people will not really notice what the groom wears. (ok, maybe they will notice but how far will you get with a tux/suit anyway unless you do something drastic?)

well... FI decided to wear a TUX for our wedding but he wants it in...

WHITE

yes. you read it right. WHITE. white because he said he wants to stick out. it's not a drastic change by my standard and i've no qualms over that because i've attended weddings where the groom wore all white AND the bride wore a white gown as well.

the problem is... i'm wearing a beautiful IVORY gown. IVORY and NOT WHITE. there's a big difference if you put it side-by-side.

i dunno if i'm just putting too much thought to this or not but would people notice the contrast between my IVORY gown and his WHITE tux?!?! or even worse, it'll come out ugly in the photos?!? waahhh. a white gown is really not for me... but wouldn't it even be more weirder if he wears an IVORY tux?!?(LOL i have to pause for a bit. i've NEVER seen an IVORY tux EVER! i'm trying to imagine what it will look like though. )

are there any IVORY gown brides here whose groom also wore white on their wedding day?!? or any colored-brides here with a groom whose wearing a WHITE tux? (or maybe Ivory tux?!?) please post pix to alleviate my mood!

i think my fh will wear white
iam also wearing white

does he have a problem with wearing ivory and do u have a problem with him wearing a ivory tux

I think it will look weird and clash a bit!
Ask him to get an ivory tux!

MY honest opinion I think it will look funny with you in Ivory and your FI in white. I am sorry I just think it will clash. What about him and his Groomsmen wearing nice beige suits? Even like linen ones with white shirts. or just him and his groomsmen in black suits, not tuxes. That always looks nice and this way it will still compliment your Ivory gown.

this is a good idea!

He doesn't have to wear white to stand out. He can wear a tux while the groomsmen wear suits. He can do also pin stripes or a different color vest/ tie.
Maybe you can show him pictures of brides and grooms both in white. He might not like the look. I personally think if both the bride and groom wear white they don't stand out. Not to mention the pictures will look washed out due to all white color. Good luck.
