try to match the vest and tie; don't worry about the tux being black. My sister's dress is chocolate brown - I don't see an issue with the guys wearing black tuxes.

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

My BM dresses are chocolate brown too, I dont think there is anything wrong with getting a black tux as long as you try to match it with some kind of brown vest. I was thinking of actually going a brown tux for the guys but its really just a matter of taste..

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

Brown and black are colors found in nature together so it will be FINE! That is always the rule of thumb with color matching; if found in nature, it can work.

You can easily tie them in by making their ties the same color as teh girl's sashes. And you can make their boutioneeres pick up on the colors in their dresses as well.

It will look great.

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

i dont personally like when the vest matches the bridesmaid dress - i think it looks old school and it reminds me of 80's/90's - thats just my personal opinion though - i dont like when the outfits are very matchy...i did kind of like the vests the guys at TWOTY were wearing though - i think they were a chapagne color....i think that a nice black tux compliments any color and will always look classy and elegant....check out some reviews - there are a few girls with dark brown BM dresses - that way you can see what they did.....if you do a colored vest i like chapagne or taupe with brown instead of matching it perfectly....

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

I dont think a black tux would clash at all! Black is sleek and sophistacted and ultra classy...i think it goes with everything...u cant go wrong with black.....if u really want to match the tie and vest thats ok...but black will look really nice!

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

My girls are wearing chocolate brown too and I am not a fan of the brown vest and tie with a black tux.

So the guys will either be wearing brown tuxes (FH hasn't gone to look yet) or champagne vest and tie.

Since you have a lilac sash you can try and do that color.

It doesn't have to match -- just coordinate.

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

I am having brown bridesmaid dresses and black tuxes. I saw a few girls who had the grooms wear a brown tie and it looked fine.

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

WOW I love brown and lavender or any purple with it. I wanted my daughter to do those colors but she chose brown dresses for the girls and her flowers were burgundy, cream and gold. You can see them in my album. The boys wore black tuxes and they looked great with the girls brown dresses. Can't wait to see picks of what you are doing.

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

I like the one someone posted that had the champage colord vests. Or a lilac tie and/or vest (it the guys are ok with wearing lilac.)

Re: Brown BM Dress with Black Tux??

I plan to do chocolate brown dresses, and the guys will wear black tuxes. I think it'll look totally fine.

I really like the picture above with the black tux and champagne vests!!!! My BM dress has a champagne sash around it, so champagne vests on the guys would probably compliment it nicely.
