Ok. My dress is ivory (and a definite ivory - not diamond white, but not champagne or spun gold). My BM dresses are navy with an ivory sash and the FGs are wearing all ivory.
What do the boys wear? FH will be going shortly (hopefully ) to look at tuxes and I'd like to set this for him since he'll be picking everything else. They will be looking at black tuxes with either
pewter ascot and vests (for all) OR all black for the GM and I guess all ivory for FH
What color shirt do they wear? I don't want them to look dirty in an ivory shirt when standing by themselves but I don't want my dress, the girls sash and the FG dresses to look dirty standing next to their crisp white shirts.
Help!!!

I have the same issue...my dress is like a pearl ivory...looks white but is definitely not white. I'm leaning towards having FH use an ivory shirt (my sister got an ivory dress and was told to have FH use ivory shirts, otherwise it would make her dress look dirty or dingy...especially if guys wore grey or silver vests) i think when i get my dress in im gonna go stand next to some white shirts and see what i think lol either or should be fine though.

I never really had though too much about it, but my dress is lace, and it's ivory spun glod, so I'm not sure.
I would probably lean towards white shirts and white for FH, they will all have their jackets on, so how much do you really see?

What I was told is that the groom has to match the bride - so if you wear ivory he wears ivory. And the groomsmen match the bride's maids

Does anyone have pictures of an ivory shirt?
I had an ivory dress and I had my husband wear an ivory shirt. My father wore a regular white shirt. It's a slight difference and varies in different lighting. See pictures below:

Just do what I'm doing, my dress is ivory with gold beading, but, my fiance is in a band, and wants to wear black on black. He tried on his tux and he looked great! I'm so excited! Just have to spruce him up with an ivory flower, and we're set!
