My wedding dress is ivory colored and my colors are pool (light blue) and soft yellow, like an canary. I was thinking it would look nice for my fiance to wear a ivory colored tux with a pool colored vest and tie, with possible no vest at all. The wedding is this summer outside. So Im not sure if the best would be ivory tux with pool tie, (matches bridesmaids), or go with the simple and casual black tux. Thanks!


Answer
Tuxedos are evening wear--no good for day weddings. "Matching" is also a bad idea. Men's formalwear is based on subdued elegance, not bright matching colors.

Unless you want to get into day formalwear:

suits are your best bet. Seersucker is always a good bet for summer:

and a tailor can make a bought suit fit infinitely better than a rental. Tie color is up to you, but try to coordinate instead of matching.

What color and length of dress would be appropriate for the mother of the groom to wear?

Only one color is mentioned for the wedding color - royal blue. Since the mother of the bride, brides maids, and grandmothers will be wearing royal blue, I feel like this would be too much blue. Can I wear another color?


Answer
that is too much blue. but you should ask the bride. she has the final word. I think a nice dark silver would look nice, or maybe lavender or sage green. the mothers usually wear something muted, not the same color as the bridesmaids! as for length, nothing above the knee. go find a few dresses you like and then show the bride. then you can return the ones she doesn't like.
