Wedding Ideas?

My wedding isn't planned until 6/7/2008 so I'm just beginning to brainstorm some ideas but I'm having a really hard time deciding how I incorporate the color lilac into the men's tuxedos or what other color might look good.. any ideas? Thanks!

Wedding Ideas?
The flowers. Use the color in the boutonnieres.
Reply:when it comes to flowers, espcially ones of such a light color, you can have them wear the color in flower in their boutineer, or even have them wear a vest in the same color. Having that color match other things isn't always hard just making sure it will look ok is hard,


have fun and good luck and congrats.
Reply:I would ask your fiance about that since the guys are his area. Sometimes, simple black is best. Or maybe simply a lilac colored boutonniere. Also, it will make him feel included in the planning.
Reply:lilac and sage or a dark green would look nice together...you could also do lilac and different shades of blue or even brown. You can have the girls in lilac and the guys in the other color, but I would incorporate the lilac in the guys flowers to tie it all together.





Good luck!
Reply:Try vests for the men with a hint of lilac in the pattern. You could also have the flowers be lilacs (or a similarly colored floral design), so all of the men would be wearing them on their lapels.. I would avoid the ties being that color as it is a little fussy..go with simple black and just have subtle hints of it in the vest.


Lovely color btw.
Reply:Have the groomsmen wear lilac bowties and cummerbunds. At my wedding each of the guys were in each of these colors - yellow, pink, lilac, and teal, with grey tuxes.
Reply:my wedding is 6/16/2008 and i'm doing green and purple.


green for the bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen vest %26amp; tie. then purple for the flowers and other accept colors.





but you could do the guys in green (or yellow, or other color you like with lilac) then the girls in lilac.





or just have the guys in lilac it's not as bad as pink and should be ok as just vests and ties
Reply:Their ties can be lilac...the vest...their boutineer (flower).





You can be happy that the color has been incorporated and it will still look masculine.
Reply:it would look good as the cumberbun (sp) or vest.....or a really dark purple would look great too; go to a tuxedo place and check out your options.....have fun and don't let yourself get stressed......enjoy it
Reply:Lilac-colored ties are an easy solution that won't look too feminine on a man. You may even find striped ties so the color will be even less overwhelming. Another solution would be to have the men wear boutonniers that match the lilac in the bridesmaids' dresses while wearing another color tie.





Depending on the shade, a very muted sage green could coordinate with lilac, or you could just go with a couple different shades of the same color family - like a more blue-toned purple or periwinkle along with the lilac.
Reply:lilac boutonnieres, although traditionally they would be red or white. i say use lilac and white flowers in the bridesmaids' bouquets; then you can use white boutonnieres. or if your bouquet is red and white, you can use red boutonnieres.





you could also get the lilac cumberbund for the guys to wear, but if that creates an issue, you could forego it.





honestly, it's really up to you what you do because it's your day, but make sure whoever you get to do your flowers has some sense of fashion/design. best of luck.

Reply:I would say to go with silver for the vests and ties and just have them wear lilac coloured boutonnieres. Happy planning!
Reply:You could also have the groomsmen wear silver ties and vests and have the lilac in their boutonierre. I used lavender and my groomsmen didn't mind wearing the lavender ties and vests. The pattern had some silver in it.
