Re: dilemma. TUX

I'm doing classic tux w/ black tie and then the bout is going to be my wedding colors.

if you want a colored tie, maybe do a black & purple check?

Re: dilemma. TUX

like a purple with another color stirpe (maybe black to match the tuxes) and then a dark purple orchid thing as a flower

Re: dilemma. TUX

You could do solid purple, purple and black check, or even silver/dark gray. I'm doing classic black and they will have white bouts. FH is going to have a red bout with solid white vest and tie.

Re: dilemma. TUX

I would put the GM in tuxes with black ties and have your FI in a tux with a purple tie or vice versa, so he stands out. Then I'd do purple bouts, and add a little something extra to your FI's.
