This past Sunday, we went to Dante Zeller on Old Country Road, Westbury to get the guys fitted for tuxs. I didn't realize it before but I think i picked a very diffucult color to work with. The bridesmaid dress are teal (see below) and the matron of honor is burgundy (see below). MY colors are burgundy and blue and a touch of ivory.
These were the tux colors I picked out only because it matched the closet.
They DID NOT have these colors in store for us to actually see how it look but the guy told me he would put a request in to have all these sample bought to the store so that we could come today Friday at 7pm to see how it matches up.
FH just got a call from the store. The guy waits for TODAY at 12pm to tell us he can't get the color, they dont have any in stock and has this nonchalant attitude.
Mind you I had all 6 guys meet us on Sunday and he took all their measurments, etc because everyone is busy.
Now I dont know what to do. I checked other stores but no one has the color to match up. Please HELP!! I'm 5 weeks before the wedding and no tuxes!!
TIA!!

Oh Man!! Maybe do something neutral, like an ivory vest with a tie that will tie in your colors somehow?

I was going to say maybe a grey vest and tie, but I like the idea of bringing in the ivory, that would look really nice.

Re: Help..Major Tuxedo problem!!
what about having them wear a black vest, and then buy them a tie in the color to match as a GM gift? That is what we are doing...

yes, you cannot go wrong with this classic look, or just get them colored ties to match the dresses.

I agree do a neutral. My girls are in aqua, my guys are wearing platinum vests and black suits. Also, try Esquire tux in Merrick- Michael is great ! My dad is very picky and he is bending over backwards to make him happy. Also has a ncie selection
