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!!
OMG...i would just start calling places to see if anyone has a similar color...maybe post on the vendor boards!

What about Mens Warehouse? My colors are ivory and wine and they definitely carry wine/burgandy type colors.

How about just regular black vests and color ties?

I would just do regular black vests at this point-or maybe even a dark silver/grey

Re: REPOST - Major Tuxedo Problem!!
what is your bridesmaid's / moh dress manufacturer? I know with my color I had to purchase the ties and sashes because tux places didn't have that correct color in green. So I ordered it through my dress manufacturer that sold ties/sashes.

My MOH's dress was celadon (a shade of green).
We went to Town & Country Tuxedo (2350 Hempstead Turnpike East Meadow) and they had a vest in celadon! I was so surprised.
Perhaps they have the colors that you are looking for?!?
