Need help Please..brown color combinations

OK....so I really have my heart set on a brown wedding!

I'm not sold on guys with brown vests and black tuxes...it does not look as bad as I would have thought but not 100% sure

So I was on projectwedding and saw a color combination I thought was pretty

so what do you think??

either a brown bm dress with fall flowers and guys in black tux and brown vest

or girls in brown dresses with a small green sash and cala lillies and boys in black tux with green vest.

i'm gonna try and put pic ideas in this message ...if not i'll put in album

TIA

i would do the guys in green vests and girls in brown dress with green sash

my colors are green and champagne with a little brown.. very pretty choice

what about putting the guys in brown tuxes?

Re: Need help Please..brown color combinations

My BMs are wearing mink brown dresses. Right now I'm leaning towards fall flowers (think oranges/golds).

I originally asked FH if he would consider wearing mink brown tuxes with gold vests. He said 'NO.' Now I'm leaning towards black tuxes with gold vests.

of course, I've changed my mind about 1,000 times.......

I like the idea of the girls being in brown and green, and the guys with the green vest and black tuxes. I don't like brown tuxes as a general rule (no offense to those doing that, just not my personal taste), so I think by using the green as a common link between the two is the way to go.

i'm not such a fan of brown tuxes....

Just so confused with the brown
I always abnormal am matching....I change by everyday bag evert day to match what i'm wearing lol...nuts

but do you think that the brown, green, and ivory make it look less fall looking
then brown and fall colored flowers??

my groomzilla thinks that ivory/champaign vests take away from his white vest

Re: Need help Please..brown color combinations

I think it really depends on the color of the brown vest. I am against Brown suits or tuxes. To me it is very dated but I know others love it. So I vote for black tuxes with green or brown vests.

Re: Need help Please..brown color combinations

my colors are gold and ivory with brown as the accent color... my MOH is in a brown dress with a gold sash

Re: Need help Please..brown color combinations

I;m doing chocolate and lavendar as my colors - MOB and BM dresses are dark brown.

2 MOH dresses are brown with a champagne color in the middle, and the 2 BM dresses are the same brown with a lavendar middle.

I think I'm going to get black tuxes with the champagne colored vests.

Re: Need help Please..brown color combinations

i like the idea of girls in brown dresses and guys with green vests. I dont like brown vests with black tuxes at all, but then again we are doing brown tuxes which isnt everyones taste either. Our primary colors are brown and peach and the girls dresses are called toffee which is like a gold/dark champagne type color, guys vests are the same color

Re: Need help Please..brown color combinations

MY BM dresses are 3 toned..
Espresso skirt
Taupe strapless top
and Mocha sash..

I stuck with light pink and white flowers for the girls
Centerpieces i added a touch of yellow just to bring it out..

We ended up going to this little tux shop in queens..the man has been doing tuxes for 48 years and i found a PERFECT Ralph lauren vest that basically had all of the brown tone family in it.. And it blended well..
If u want the info- fm me

Re: Need help Please..brown color combinations

I love both combinations that you posted. They are both very pretty and sound classy yet modern at the same time. I am not a fan of brown tuxes IMO.
