my dress is a corset and it came with two strings (one thin and one thick)...I took the one I wasn't using for swatches.
My dress is already getting in so late, but I guess I have no choice now...thanks girls!
honestly i got one and never used it!
i also think it depends the color of yoru dress. my dress was white. so i didnt really need a swatch. white is white.
I had such a fiasco with this too. I asked my bridal shop to call and get a swatch for me. They said I had to call Maggie Sottero directly. I called Maggie Sottero directly. They said my bridal shop had to call and order it. I called my bridal shop again, and they said they would call and then never did. FINALLY I got it from the dress where my girls ordered my BM dresses and they sent it ASAP. This was only about two weeks ago.
I never even thought to get a swatch of my dress. My dress is hanging up in my room, so maybe that's why.....but I think you would be fine without it. I don't think there would be a huge selection of shirt colors for men's tuxes. And shoes, if they're not perfectly matched, won't really be seen either.

My Bridal shop just told me they no longer provided swatches or samples of the fabric...IS THIS TRUE? How in the world am I supposed to make sure things match (i.e. groom's shirt, etc.)

A tux shirt should not match the color of the gown; it should be white.

I dont always agree with this. Sometimes white next to diamond white or ivory makes it look very yellow.

If you wanna look WHITE, then pick a WHITE dress.
All the photographers in the biz that I know have told me that tux shirts should be white and that it won't make a difference at all. Besides, I can't recall the last time I saw a proper off-white tuxedo shirt.

If you have a champagne colored dress... then do a tux shirt to match the dress accordingly. I've seen it done and it looks just fine.
And they do have off-white and champagne tux shirts. It's been done on here plenty of times.

A champagne-colored shirt for a tux? Ick. I hate to tell you, but by definition a tux shirt cannot be anything but white. If you don't believe me, search for pictures of the british royal family wearing black tie and tell me if any of them are wearing a shirt that is not white. Or better yet, look up rules for black tie dress.
See, this is what I don't understand about this board. If you want a guy to wear a tuxedo, he needs to wear a proper white tuxedo shirt, bowtie and black low-cut vest or cummerbund.. End of story. Anything else, frankly, looks silly. It won't make your dress look bad. Rather, it WILL make your FH look sloppy.
If you don't like that look, then have your guy wear a charcoal or navy suit. Then he can wear whatever shirt you want him to wear. Simple.

ick i can't believe that this dude's profile is still around. that's what's ick.
I'm not a part of the Royal Family... nor do I care what they wear haha.. or about your opinion for that matter. I seem to disagree with everything you write.
I don't know - I never even got a swatch or asked for one and I made out fine...
