I am doing choc. brown and I am thinking of having the groomsmen in latte vest/ties and ivory shirts. And FH in all ivory....just a thought! Pick the BM dress color that you truly want, and I think blck and brown will be fine together...

Here's a picture from the Aria Dress website of Chocolate Brown dresses with black tuxes...I think they look very nice!

My friend recently had her prom and she wore a chocolate brown dress. Her date had a black tux with a dark champagne vest and tie. Here is a pic

I think it'll look fine, I'm in ivory and my BM's are in brown so FH will have an ivory shirt, vest & tie & the GM will have ivory shirt, black vest, black & brown striped tie.
I was concerned too but when we went to the tux place the guy knew exactly what to do. They also had light brown (cafe?) colored vests...
Go with what you want, I was set on brown & pink from the begining. I also love black & white prints so I don't think you'll even be able to tell the difference...
Have fun!

I'm having chocolate brown dresses and my guys in tan suits with chocolate brown ties. Here's a pic of the guys in tan suits at a wedding - I love how it looks:

my girls are wearing chocolate brown, the guys are wearing black tuxes with latte colored vests/ties (dark champague color)....they complimented each other nicely

Here are some others I've come across. My girls are wearing brown (MOH is in cinnamon) and I'm having the guys in all traditional black tuxes. I like the idea of finding a fun tie that has some brown in it though...
