So the wedding plans are in place, dresses are bought, and the venue is ready. All that’s left is the guys. Now here’s the big question; white or ivory. For some this seems like a straight forward answer, but when it comes to color we want to make sure your day looks perfect! After much bridal shopping most women know the difference between white and ivory or at least have been told about the color options. With wedding dresses coming in such a large variety of colors, it can be difficult to make a decision on how to get the men to match. We are here to help in any way possible and make sure the colors are what you want and look great. Let’s start with the basics; white and ivory. For the men that don’t really know, the difference is very subtle. Most people can’t tell that ivory is not white unless it is next to something white. So, that is where the problem lies. Many people think that tuxedo ivory is yellow, but we have caught up to the wedding dress industry! The ivory is very light, like the gowns are today, but it makes all the difference. The white is definitely more stark and will look great against a white gown, but mixing and matching colors is not the way to go. We want a perfect match and this includes matching vests, ties, cummerbund, and bow ties as well as shirts. Now we know wedding dresses don’t only come in the traditional white and ivory anymore. There are colors like champagne, blush, peach, and light gold to name a few. When it comes to these shades it becomes a personal opinion. We can, of course, match the color of the dress with one of our numerous vest options.  Or you could choose to stick with ivory or white. Just make sure that if you are keeping softer, more antique feeling you consider ivory, or the brighter white in accessories consider going with white. Of course we want to keep you looking your best on your wedding day and want the men to look just as you imagined. Keeping color in mind, helps us achieve the look you desire. Don’t be afraid to bring pictures or send the groom out the door to talk about color.  We are all about accommodating and making sure your big day is flawless.
