brown tux?

[October08Bride18]

I'm having a fall wedding.. my colors are burnt orange and brown as the majors.. i dont want black tuxs cuz the girls are orange and it kinda reminds me of halloween... too late for white so i was thinking brown.. it's not all that common so it's hard to find.. i was wondering about peoples opinions and also if anyone has done this before if they have any pics

I think a brown tux/suit can look nice :) And since it is uncommon it will make your wedding stand out in people's mind :D

Brown would be nice... have you thought about khaki?

Oooooh Brown would look sharp!! I'm sure there are some local tux shops that can order brown tuxes... My Husband wore orange with a black suit on our cruise, and I thought it looked great and didn't look like halloween at all :) Sometimes, Changing the tie on a suit too can work wonders!!
But if you're woried about it clashing with your girls dresses, it won't. I went to a wedding recently and the girls wore burnt orange dresses and the guys were all in black tuxes...It looked really sharp!

i found this site http://www.jimsformalwear.com/ that you can build a tux.. i'm do love the pictures that shows the brown tux.. but for the groomsmen i'm not sure about the orange vest and things with it.. is it ok to have something neutral and just bring the dress colors into the tux with the bout flower? or should your vest/tie be the color?

We are having dark chocolate brown tuxes for our wedding. My dress is champagne colored and the girls dresses are sage green. I felt black was so much of a contrast so we decided on brown. I went to a tux shop in a town of literally 300 people and they had one on display there. With that said, i am pretty sure you will have no problems getting the brown that you want. The gentleman helping me was even willing to order one in (free of charge) so that my fiance could try it on to make sure that is what I wanted.
As far as black with the burnt orange...my brother had that in there wedding. Looked very very sharp...our dresses had a black sash on them to really pull it all together. Good luck!

Hun...remember it is what you want for your day. If you want white go with it. My sister-in-law wanted a fall wedding...but there wasn't a date available. So they brought the fall to the winter. They had a fall wedding in January. Sounds odd, but let me tell you...the guests were all speachless with the great decorations. Do it your way girl!!!!

Have you considered a black tux with a brown vest/tie? I attached a photo for you. I think it would look fantastic with an orange dress. I would just not include orange in the lapel flowers. :)

i haven't thought about black at all to much because while all of you others who are trying to talk your FH into wearing something other than black mine WONT wear black.. haha so they must be so difficult i guess

Well, Good luck...Hopefully you and FH can come to a compromise.

I think brown looks awesome, especially for fall colors. Here is a wedding I did and they had brown.

Also the groomsmen had the burnt orange color vests and the groom had a white vest, matched the ties.

I think deep rich brown tuxes would be beautiful... I would, however, keep your oranges to more of a coral and peachy shade, so it keeps it from being too harsh (and yes, Halloweeny).

We had chocolate brown tuxes and I just loved the way it looked. We had many guests notice the subtle difference and mention how lovely they thought it looked. Here's a pic of our of our gm in his brown tux.
