White or ivory?? Please help!
Ok, so just when I thought I was done with tuxes, I am freaking out about the color scheme, and I could really use some feedback. Sorry for the long post!
Here's the situation - We are getting the GM tuxes and everyone's vests (FH has a tux) from Men's Wearhouse. We planned on getting FH an ivory vest/tie, and the vest matches my dress perfectly. So we figured we'd get everyone ivory shirts.
Since FH is tall and thin (16, 36/37 shirt) we are going to tailor his tux to be a better fit, and wanted to tailor the shirt as well (so he's not swimming in it). However, we couldn't find an ivory shirt for him to buy (MW won't tailor rental shirts). Someone suggested we do a white shirt with the ivory vest, but this looks a little off (in my opinion). So we thought, ok, he'll just wear the rental ivory shirt, and the vest will keep it from looking too baggy. But when we looked again the ivory shirt is TOO ivory. It's a little more like cream compared to the vest.
So now I am freaking out. I have 3 options, and have no idea what to do:
1) Go with the original - ivory and ivory (with the shirt being a little more yellow than the vest).
2) Mix the white shirt with the ivory vest
3) Go with a white shirt and white vest.
I have until the 15th to decide what I want, but I really don't know what to do. I felt like I was going to be sick at MW![]()
